Top Thrill 2 will be a new refurbishment, opening in Cedar Point (the United States, North America) in 2024.
Key facts:
Top Thrill 2 is the world’s first reimagined strata coaster and the fastest and tallest LSM triple-launch coaster. Thanks to the all-new linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch system, riders will experience three unique launches:
A forward launch at a speed of 119 km/h (74 mph), which leads into a crowd favorite- the rollback
A second backward launch reaching a speed of 163 km/h (101 mph), climbing at a 90-degree angle on the new, 128 meter (420 foot)-tall vertical spike.
A third launch that clocks in at the ride’s top speed of 193 km/h (120 mph) and speeds over the 128 meter (420 foot) top hat before diving into a 270- degree spiral leading to the finish line.
Top Thrill 2 is one of the first roller coasters in the world to utilize Zamperla’s “Lightning” trains. The launch version of these trains were first unveiled to the public during IAAPA Expo 2022, the largest trade show for the attractions industry.
