The anticipation for Top Thrill 2 was teased by Cedar Point through various tweets leading up to the official announcement on August 1. The park had been building excitement for this revelation, and the details were highly awaited.
Unfortunately, some details were prematurely released by Zamperla on their website, revealing that Top Thrill 2 would not be the tallest or fastest roller coaster but would hold the title of the world’s tallest and fastest triple-launch coaster. The unveiling video, embedded below, provides a glimpse of what to expect from Top Thrill 2 when it opens in 2024.
As construction progressed, more information emerged, including the new color scheme of white and dark gray, a departure from the original red and yellow. Zamperla, not Intamin, is handling this significant reimagining, prompting mixed reactions among Top Thrill Dragster enthusiasts.
With rumors circulating about the new layout, Cedar Point has kept details under wraps, promising a never-before-seen experience. Speculations ranged from a 500ft rear spike to additional top hats or Zamperla venturing into the realm of top thrill roller coasters. Today’s announcement is expected to bring clarity to these speculations.
As excitement builds toward the 2024 reopening, we’ll continue to provide updates on the construction progress of Top Thrill Dragster. Share your expectations and thoughts on this transformation by leaving a comment below or on our Facebook page.
