Top Thrill 2 Review | Cedar Point Bets Big; Hits a Home Run

hahahahaa loving the shout out to Ryan! 😂

17:26 That ElToroRyan bit got a good laugh out of me! Haha. Awesome video as always!

11:33 That Seagull got dared by its friends to do that

As someone who will probably not ride TT2 for a number of years, I still feel bad for those who have gone to the park recently to see TT2 closed

I love how Taylor and Ryan both focus on the wheels when talking about the problem without actually saying wheels

17:29 After watching every Problematic Roller Coasters video, I was thinking watching a Coaster Studios video would get me a break from the block zones 😅

This was Zamperla's leap of faith into being competitive in the coaster market. Glad to see them get a win with this ambitious project.

Taylor I want to thank you for including metric measurements in these videos!

It’s already having problems - it’s a perfect successor! 💀

Zamperla knocked this out of the park! A lot of people are jumping too fast to conclusions with them with the ride being down. If it's a wheel issue, then it will be back up soon. Millennium Force back when it opened had wheel issues to, and Magnum had issues when it opened in 1989, so this isn't new for Cedar Point to have issues when a ride opens!

Regarding the LSMs, a while back I remember doing the math and determining that Red Force's LSMs were sufficiently powerful enough for use on TTD if they used the entire length of the launch track. But the amount of power that would need to be pumped into the entire system would be comparable to the defunct Batman and Robin: The Chiller so it would be an electrical engineer's nightmare.

"Can't you read the sign?! It's CLOSED!". Great review as usual!

The spikes on Impulses and Mr Freeze are the best spikes, I think a big part of it that makes those stand out is that they seem to have more vertical straight track and a smaller and tighter pullout that offers stronger positive Gs rather than something like Pantheon where the pullout is much bigger. But the long amount of straight track you see straight down makes it noticeably scarier because it makes you feel a lot higher and you fall vertically for a longer amount of time.

I don't think I've ever been to Cedar Point where Dragster didn't breakdown at least once each day I was there.

Coaster Studios, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!

We weren't expecting much when we got on it honestly. But it BLEW US AWAY!! One of the craziest rides we have been on to date! Although the downtime is frustrating, once they get all the bugs worked out it'll end up being in most people's top 10!

Thanks for highlighting the fact that the third launch is very similar to the feeling of the original. The fact that it can hold a candle to it just confirms this is an overall better ride

Rode TT2 the day before closure. 3 1/2 hour wait, in what is honestly the most exhausting and boring queue I’ve ever experienced. Could’ve added some tvs or something lol. Luckily my group entertained ourselves. The ride was still worth the wait. TT2 is an absolute beast of a ride.

The stall and ejector air and general sense of speed look so perfect. Love that theres one straight spike and a spiral for variety

I actually got the chance to talk to the creative lead for TT2 a couple months ago, and of course I asked about the F1 theme. He said that they did briefly consider a licensing deal with F1, but decided against it for a couple of reasons. For one, they still see F1 as more of a European sport that wouldn't resonate as much with Americans (despite the success of Netflix's Drive to Survive series, which they directly cited as an inspiration), so they wanted to lean a bit more towards an Indycar-oriented theme that would be more recognizable to more audiences. Also, they said that with IP licensing deals, demands by the IP holder can severely limit the creative freedom that Cedar Fair has in designing the ride. So in other words, they absolutely could've done a deal for the rights to an F1 theme, but decided it was best to do their own thing instead.
