The coaster features three 20 person trains. They are silver, blue and black in color.
Cedar Point hosted a launch event for their reimagined Top Thrill 2 roller coaster. This project, taken on by ride manufacturer Zamperla, was more than just a mere conversion of a coaster from hydraulic to LSM launch. In was the construction of a second 420 foot tower and the inclusion of a swing launch highlighted by a backwards launch at 101 mph and a forwards launch at 120 mph. There truly is no experience on earth quite like this.
Top Thrill 2 is the centerpiece of a refurbishment of the midway on which it sits. This attraction is yet another reason for guests to seek out Cedar Point as a destination amusement park and a reaffirmation that it still is the Roller Coaster Capital of the World. This new coaster surpassed my expectations and its three launches extend the duration of its predecessor, thereby enhancing the ride. Follow along as we take you all around one of the most exciting theme park additions in 2024 as experienced during Top Thrill 2 Media Day!

This coaster features a forwards launch at 70mph, a backwards launch at 101 mph up that 420 foot spike and then a forwards launch at 120mph up and over a 420 foot top hat. It's such a crazy concept. Also, it works!
