I actually think that capacity for TT2 might be better than Dragster. Hear me out. I never rode dragster, but according to an old Coasterforce POV, the Dragster launch needed an approx. 45 second cooldown (from clearing of the block zone) before it could launch again. That is as long as the ride duration of TT2 (from the POV and off-ride animation which is probably slower than the real deal to subvert expectations) until the clearing of the block zone. LSMs don't need to cool down and reset unlike hydraulic launches, so if operations are fast (they probably will be) and the ride is reliable (hopefully), a train could theoretically launch 50 seconds after the previous train, as opposed to 1 minute for the original. This could translate to up to 6 extra trains launched every hour and 72 extra trains daily (in a July day where CP is open from 10 am-10 pm). This comes down to 1440 extra riders per day, just from the faster capacity. Let's not forget that each train holds 20 riders instead of Dragster's 18, so the number of extra riders per day will be much higher than the figure I have given, and Dragster was closed for spurts of downtime which TT2 will almost certainly improve on. So capacity will (hopefully) not be an issue.

With TT2 not having seatbelts, it will load and unload much quicker than Dragster did. The Intamin seatbelts have no slack and many times the ride ops have to help half the riders on a given train to buckle them. That and better reliability will maintain higher capacity than Dragster had.

My son and I have ridden the front row on all 10 coasters (counting the original TTD since it has the same height as TT2). We have not experienced a rollback on TTD or KK, but if we did, I'd count that as a separate credit. TT2 will allow us to experience a rollback as part of the regular ride. We've ridden the left side of Superman: Escape from Krypton, but still need our coaster credit for the track on the right side.

I Have Ridden 2 So Far! With Both Of Them Being In The Same Park: Fury 325 And Intimidator! 🤩

its crazy that we have 2 of these at Carowinds

I'd be a big advocate for a Buc-ees 500 foot coaster. Let's make it happen. In all seriousness, Buc-ees should start adding tiny carnival rides at their larger facilities. That would be very popular. Imagine a Buc-ees with attractions on the roof including a scrambler, a bounce tower, a tilt a whirl, a wacky worm and an SBF Visa spinner in addition to midday games. You KNOW people would stop for that.

I have only been on 4 of the 10 coasters on this list. Millie, Intimidator, Fury 325, and Orion. I hope to add TopThrill2, Kingda Ka, and I305 in 2024!

Hope to add top thrill 2? Lol cute

I've ridden quite a few of these tall coasters. The only ones that I haven't ridden yet are the ones at Carowinds, Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure, and Superman: Escape From Krypton.

I can see CP getting an RMC T-REX 500'. Wouldn't that be something 🤔I've been on all your top 10😊One coaster I miss is Son of Beast, imagine if it got the RMC treatment.

❤ Wise words on I305 ... rode it this summer. All the way to KD from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Buc-ee’s would probably have an SBF-Visa Spinner as their coaster.

I think that I305 is most intimidating looking coaster in the world, perfect name for sure! Great video as always

I’ll second that, the only coaster to ever make me go black for a second or two, (only once though out of 15 or so rides) as it seems I’m not very susceptible to this sensation … I wish I could’ve experienced it before the first turn was reprofiled, coming to halfway through the airtime hill was incredible, I will say that Ka’s launch is my number one element I’ve ever experienced though

The only roller coaster on this list that I’ve ridden is Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion back in August 2022, and is still the tallest roller coaster I’ve ridden to this day

I'm sure Texas is jonesing for the tallest coaster. Perhaps a ground up Zamperla strata which doesn't necessarily follow the pattern of TT2 or KK, but may incorporate the Drachen Spire (twisted spike) and a few launches to get it to height.

When I went to KD to do I305 it was closed all day lol, going back again in 3 days and this time I have a whole google doc of wait times and operating hours from the past month and a half. Not missing it again haha (it was fine the other trip twisted timbers and flight of fear being way better than I expected made up for it)

Well Buc-ee's definitely has the budget and the space. 🤣

After next Friday, I’ll have 4 of the 10. I’ll be adding Fury 325 & Intimidator (Now known as Thunder Striker). I already have MF & Orion.

I hope that it is Cedar Point being my home park, but I feel like if it were to happen in the US, it'll end up incorporating the landscape (ALA Falcon's Flight)....so maybe it won't be any of the current day major parks.

Been on 7/10! Need to get out West as my credit count is very eastern US driven. Tough to tell where the next could go, as we don't know quite how the merger will leave those parks in terms of spending habits, but I would guess Great Adventure could be a contender. Lots of space there. Could also see Canada's wonderland (I know it's not US).

First! anyway this is some great content

Thank you!

Top thrill 2 and kingda ka look quite intimidating

I’ve been on all of them except Titan!

Personally I’d love for Kings Island to take that record for the US. Location wise them; Dollywood, SDC, SFSTL, HW, and SFMM are the only ones I could see it happening due to the available land the park has and FAA restrictions.

Cedar point, here i come! 🙂

From this list I have only been on Goliath & Superman at Magic Mountain. As far as breaking the record I would have said (of course) Cedar Point, but, realistically, I just can't think of any parks here in the USA who would want to spend that kind of money just to grasp that lofty a title. As it stands, they had to go outside of the USA in order to secure that record and it is being financed by non USA entities eventhough Six Flags stamped their name on it. I just don't feel that aspect of the coaster wars is still alive here on US soil. I think the focus is more for spectacularly thrilling creations like the RMC's, Velocicoaster, interactive dark rides...etc...

Great video! Sidenote, "heighth" isn't a word. Height rhymes with fight/right

you left Superman the escape at Magic Mountain off the list, unless you dont count it as a credit. Even if you only count how high the cars reach, its still #3.

Would've been a much better video if you made it about drop instead of height. Nitro and Diamondback both have have drops of 215' which is bigger than Intimidator's 211' drop, and heights of 230' but don't make the cut because they're not 232' ? That's WHACK my friend. Other than that I enjoyed this video, so thatnks for posting anyway.

I,ve ridden all these hard to say witch is the best one.I do prefer Kingda ka to Dragster.Where I live Blackpool UK we have the worst hyper coaster ever check it out,Pepsi max Big one.

woah

I think we know what park will 💀

If you look at the best new rides in the last 10 years it is amazing what they do with layouts and styles of needing a height not more than 200 feet. Just don't see a reason why a park would want the hassle of such a big coaster.

💚

I just hope that new tallest coaster is at the east side... Easier to reach

Isn't Canada located in America? I learned (a long time ago) that America is a continent, not a country...

@@user-jo3hp3ip5r I realize math is hard for a basement troll. But you can't ignore the laws of physics. If the tower is 36' taller, the train must be traveling faster in order to clear the top hat. Ignoring friction and air resistance: 1/2 x m x v^2 = m x g x h. Where m is the mass of the train, v is the maximum speed of the train, g is earth's gravitational constant (32.2 ft/sce^2) and h is the height of the top hat. Canceling mass and solving for velocity, the equation becomes v = sqrt(2 g h). If we plug in the value of g, the equation becomes: v = sqrt(64.4 h) If we round 64.4 down to 64, we can pull it outside the square root function as the value 8. Our equation becomes: v = 8 sqrt(height). Kingda Ka: v = 8 sqrt(456) v = 171 ft/sec = 116.6 mph Top Thrill Dragster: v = 8 sqrt(420) v = 164 ft/sec = 112 mph

Everyone copies Cedar Point so we all know.
