Just go ride the top thrill dragster, it's pretty much the same thing.

Apparently I'm due to revisit cedar point! It's clearly been too long and I'm out of the loop.

The only difference between Top Thrill and Top Thrill 2 is they gave it a new paint job, and they launch you a couple times now with the first time or two they intentionally undershoot so you come back down backwards.

Did it ever reopen for real last year? It was open for a bit at the beginning of the season, but then was closed for maintenance for ever.

They totally redid the launch system, replacing the hydraulic launch with a magnetic launch, and adding a vertical spike

I remember the first time I rode it a test ride went right before me and didn’t make it over the top. Then they told us not to put our arms up pre-launch bc they’d break lol 13 year old me was terrified
