    Launch Time
    Rachel Macie H.

    Top Thrill 2 takes what everyone always wished they had on the ride and brings it into full swing as that's pretty much it a swing launch then up and over the top! The only Strata Coaster in North America lives on and has you launching to the sky what more can you ask for? Well besides front row ride or a back row ride where the forces that hit you are sooo different in all those amazing ways that only a ride as intense as this can create! Starting off you launch up the tower then get that ever so wanted roll back that only a few were lucky to get on the original then comes that backwards launch up the back spike tower which then sends you flying back down to earth only to get the fastest launch of 120mph to send you up and over the tower where you feel sooo much force like it's intense in all the right ways to the point it's just sooooo good you wanna do it again! This upgrade as I'm calling it did not disappoint and I can definitely see this being one of the best coasters in America once again as Zamperla really delivers one intense ride from start to finish on this awesome refurbished coaster! Overall I hope to get back to Cedar Point again this year just to ride this again because it is that good and I can only imagine how much better it will be on a really hot summer day!

    Having ridden Kingda Ka (RIP), I wondered how the other strata would compare. The answer is TT2 is way better. The more gradual launch and rollback of TT2 gives you more time to take in the strata vs the blink and you'll miss it launch of Kingda Ka. Plus, TT2 has better restraints than Kingda Ka. This may seem like nitpicking, but the clamshells make for a much better experience being launched and sent over the top hat than the over the shoulder restraints of Kingda Ka. With that said, I really wish Kingda Ka could've gotten the TT2 treatment, but long live Top Thrill 2.

    While I did prefer the launch on the original Top Thrill Dragster as it was more intense, the overall ride on this I enjoy more!

    Yesterday, I had the chance to spend the day at Cedar Point with my son and my two grandchildren,…read moreand we had an absolutely wonderful time making family memories! My son and grandchildren have season passes, and we were lucky enough to use a guest pass. They also have the dining plan and unlimited drinks, which you can get every 15 minutes--definitely a nice perk on a day at the park! The grandkids had a blast exploring the rides in Camp Snoopy and Planet Snoopy. Since it was the first day of school in Sandusky, the park was only slightly busy, which made the day even better. We were able to enjoy the park without dealing with huge crowds and long waits. We stopped for lunch at A Place, which has a variety of food options. I went with the chicken tenders and chose waffle fries as my side. The chicken tenders were delicious! But my favorite memory of the day had to be riding the Churchill Downs Racing Horses--the carousel that spins incredibly fast! It was a lot of fun and definitely one of those rides that makes you feel like a kid again. Overall, it was a fantastic day at Cedar Point. The rides, the food, and especially spending time with my son and grandchildren made it a day I won't forget. Sometimes the best part of an amusement park isn't the rides--it's the memories you make with the people you love

    It's been 20 years since my last visit. Same place, but different. This visit was late August 2026…read more Maverick is where White Water Landing used to be. Ocean Motion is where Demon Drop used to be. Gatekeeper is where Disaster Transport and Space Spiral used to be. Valravn is where a theater and some flat rides used to be. Mean Streak was rebuilt into Steel Vengeance. The Grand Pavillion and Wild Mouse are where Wicked Twister used to be. Siren's Curse is where a stage and the last WildCat used to be. Steel Vengeance, Top Thrill 2 and Siren's Curse have metal detectors. You're forced to leave the contents of your pockets in a locker. Thankfully I got to keep my belt and glasses (with Cedar Flags branded retention strap). I get why. The Bozos that would toss stuff at the opposing train on Dueling Dragons / Dragon Challenge at Universal Florida really ruined it for everybody. I'm surprised I didn't have to sign a pledge not to try to high five the other train before boarding Gemini. The variety and quality of the food has improved. The daily dining plan they occasionally offer is a value if you're staying open to close. I would't call any of it health food, but there are some not terrible options for those watching their figure or trying to avoid the punishment for putting on weight courtesy of Steel Vengeance. Speaking of Steel Vengeance...I thought Skyrush aka Thighcrush at Hershey Park hurt. It's got nothing on Steel Vengeance. I thought Intamin was full of nutters, but RMC makes them look stone cold sane. Hershey Park supposedly fixed Skyrush, Cedar Point needs to do something about Steel Vengeance. Or put up signs, sell thigh cushions, or retrain the ride ops. Something. It was like getting repeatedly hit in the thighs with a baseball bat. I kid you not. I used to be a bit pudgy, but I lost 100 pounds and got in shape. I have a 32 inch waist. Maybe that's my problem, I lost too much thigh fat. Not that it helped on Skyrush. I don't know if I got a mad stapler ride op or what, but it was one and done for me. Was in the front row even, not the back. I had trouble walking afterwards. I was so sore I couldn't enjoy Millennium Force or Top Thrill 2. I should have gone to First Aid and shook them down for ice packs. Speaking of Top Thrill 2. New trains. They still fuss about folks putting arms up pre-launch, but of course everybody still does it after the launch cycle starts. Anybody with any sense puts their arms down before going over the top, especially in the back. If you are hanging out of your seat when you hit that first twist on the way down, you're going to get a good crack to your spine. The new trains just have lap bars. Have they been messing with the belts on Millennium Force? I thought they were as short as they could get but apparently not. The ride ops pretty much do them for you now to save time. As well as the lap bar. If you've got a 36+ inch waist, good luck. It seems assigned seating is the rule rather than the exception. It can be tough to collect a front or back seat unless it's right after open or right before close. Unless you find a cool ride op and the platform isn't full. Fast Lane / Fast Lane Plus is pretty much required now unless the park is deserted. The more crowded the park is the more expensive it is. They even admit it, the non-fastlane queue for TT2 is labelled 'standby'. All season drink bottles have been a thing for a while now. If you're going to sell them you need to have a spot to leave them. Had to dump them for Blue Streak. Seems to be a legacy Cedar Fair Issue, legacy Six Flags has bottle holders almost everywhere. I'll admit I'm getting old, but this trip just hurt. My thighs, my back and my wallet. Were the massive thrills worth it? Possibly not. Reminds me of the time I stayed at the Hotel Breakers for a whole week when the original Top Thrill opened, trying to catch a ride. I was not successful. This trip feels like a dud, too, but for different reasons. I'll be back, if only because I can hear my younger self telling me I've gotten old and soft. I'll have a better plan and will see about losing more weight. I've got the waist size I graduated high school with, but a few extra pounds, and as much as I wish it were so, not all of it is muscle. Potential visitors, learn from my mistakes. Cedar Point, put more padding on those restraints on Steel Vengeance and maybe some kind of indicator to prevent stapling. Invest in some drink bottle holder stands, too. Go tour the legacy Six Flags parks Cedar Flags didn't sell and see how handy those are.

    Of the classic coasters at Cedar Point, Millennium Force has always been a favorite of mine! I love…read morethe speed this coaster has, the high first drop, the tunnels, and the fact that there are no loops nor corkscrews. The thrill lies solely in the speed and heights. This is a belt and lap-bar only coaster. I love that this coaster has views of the lake and the park. The way up starts a normal speed but then quickens halfway. The wait times can be longer for this ride so I would prioritize finding the pockets of the day there might be a lull (first thing in morning, lunch, evening). Pro Tip: This coaster had significantly shorter belts than other coasters. Be sure to check the test chair before waiting in line if you are midsized. My belt JUST snapped.

    Greg's Coaster Collection: Ride #1 - Millennium Force…read moreCategory: Thrill Coaster | Rating: 5/5 | Best For: Adrenaline Junkies & Coaster Enthusiasts | Wait Time: You can spot Millennium Force from miles away -- it's the Statue of Liberty of Cedar Point's skyline. That 310-foot lift hill dominates the view, and the first drop is a jaw-dropping 300 feet at an 80-degree angle. Once you crest the top, hang on -- you're hitting speeds up to 93 mph with airtime hills, sweeping turns, and postcard views of Lake Erie. The ride is glass-smooth, fast from start to finish, and still one of the greatest coasters ever built. Ride Stats: 6,595 feet of track * 93 mph top speed * 300-foot drop * 2 minutes 20 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for the view, back row for the airtime Pro Tip: Lines are shortest right after the park opens or during the last hour of operation. Photo-Worthy? Yes, especially at the first drop and lift hill -- a must for coaster fans with cameras.

Luckily when we waited it ended up being about 45 minutes. What makes this ride unique is the 90 degree tilt at the beginning. The rest of the ride is a combo of barrel rolls and high speed turns.

So I'm going to say that the ride itself is exhilarating and fun but the fact that it's only 1 minute long is a bummer. I wouldn't find myself waiting to ride this for longer than a half hour. Not going to waste time in a line for a ride that's not very long. But the whole theme of it is pretty original. When I'm not on it and you hear the noises, it can be deceiving of what the noises are but when youre on the coaster you realize it's like... sound affects of sirens singing! The whole 90 degree shift hold and drop is epic and worth the lack of time in the ride but it's honestly disappointing how short it is.

    Greg's Coaster Collection: Ride #2 - Maverick Category:…read moreThrill Coaster | Rating: 5/5 | Best For: Coaster Enthusiasts & Adventure Seekers | Wait Time: Maverick is hands down one of my favorite coasters at Cedar Point. It's got this wild, untamed wilderness vibe that perfectly fits its name. The first lift hill leads into a jaw-dropping 95-degree drop that instantly wakes you up, followed by crazy, whip-fast turns that keep your heart racing the entire ride. The sleek design, bold colors, and overall atmosphere make it feel like you're on a roller coaster adventure through the backcountry. One of my favorite moments is the unexpected launch underneath the station that shoots you toward the water section -- it's a rush like no other. Like Millennium Force, Maverick's iconic silhouette is visible from the road as you approach the park, a beacon of thrills calling you in. Ride Stats: 4,450 feet of track * 70 mph top speed * 95-degree drop * 2 minutes 30 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for pure speed, back row for maximum airtime Pro Tip: Avoid the midday crowds -- rope drop or the last ride of the night means way less waiting. Photo-Worthy? Absolutely, especially near the first drop and water section. Personal Note: This coaster quickly became my favorite at Cedar Point for its unique mix of wild design and intense thrills. Every ride feels like a new adventure, and that launch under the station still gets me every time.
