Sometimes it did do a rollback. You def would’ve had to have gotten lucky though to ever get a rollback (I unfortunately never got one 😞). This iteration def looks like it’s more fun for sure, but I gotta admit I’m going to miss that cable launch there’s nothing out there to compare to that feeling of getting launched so quick and hard from stand still 🤷♂️. This looks like it’s going to be absolutely fast just not sure it’s going to have that same feeling of 0-115mph that the original version had. At least this version of the ride is longer and worthy of the wait time vs the original.

Today (4/25/2024) was Media Day, where news outlets were specifically invited to ride before opening day and film it. As all the camera angles seem pretty similar, I'd guess the park added a camera mount on the nose of the train themselves.

@@dominicjannazo7144 thanks for the response. We enjoyed watching your video.
I didn’t see a POV presentation of the ride in this video.
is it so shaky that she's trying to protect her head?
Yeah this rides great when it’s running. I just can already tell that Top thrill 2 will be shut down half of the time due to mechanical issues. It’s only been three weeks since cedar points been open and this rides already down due to mechanical issues. This is clearly not fair for people who already payed in advance for rooms and tickets in hopes to ride the new Top Thrill 2.
I'm just ready for them to RMC the Gemini
I can't wait to stand in line for over four hours for a 40-second ride!

Who dares go to Cedar Point without Fastlane? See ya!
Going on may 8th and I’m so excited
It sounds so smooth!!
They let you keep your glasses on??? Did you have a strap on them? Our CF park here in CA would never allow that! LOL
Reverse POV
This looks insanely bumpy.
Im amazed your glasses stayed on
I know you should never say never but I would never go on that coaster. Looks insane....

Ya'll have a cardiologist with you ?
Is it me or does it look very shaky?
But woof, a 2 minute cycle time and no more double station means the line is gonna move SLOW.
So um nobody talking about the little boy behind them
I will never ride this in my lifetime!

The hands in the air blocked the view.
That guy definitely had a dry mouth after that

The trains look very shaky
a nope. 😆
Well done cedar point! Many of us dreamed of being one of the lucky ones to stall at the top and race backwards! Looking forward to the ride!!
Love the guy that kept his hands held high on the coaster I wish n dream I could ride before death do us part
Everyone forgot about the lady that got a Traumatic Brain Injury from the 1st version of this ride I guess🤷♂️

I'm sure people have not forgotten what happened to that lady. But the ride has reopened so people will obviously ride it, regardless on a previous injury to someone.
Sorry it looks slow. Remember when they wouldn’t launch you until everyone had their hands down because of the launch speed.

With the switch track they can have a loaded car waiting for the other to go while they unload/load the other cars. It will still be a lesser capacity than other rides due to the design, but will be way better than before hopefully.

Why was she allowed to wear her glasses?
Love the ride and the diversity of the people invited to attend before the park officially opens. This is about the 10th video I have seen today and it really stands out.
All crazy people I’d never
Needs to be faster on first run to roll back from near top.
Lost feeling in my legs and threw up four times watching this
Still can't understand why during the rebuild that they didn't add the extra 35 feet to the top to take back the tallest coaster record, and to also add a hump(like it's twin), or corkscrew instead of the final straightaway. 🤷🏾♂️

You know these people ride rollercoasters for a living cuz that kid in da back looked calm😂
I don’t think she liked it that much. I think she did it for the big kid.
Bro it look’s so sake
her glasses and earrings stayed on. impressive
Bush League! The woman is having a conversation with herself of whether or not to lift her hands....DURING the initial launch!! What the heck?! The launch on Dragster turned you inside out through your bunghole....this thing looks sedate!!! RIP TFD!!! Look at the kid in the second row: no screams, no excitement, no smile until the bottom of the top hat. Mark my words: the enthusiasts are going to roast this ride.

Lol the cope comments have already begun. The allure of the original was the absolute gut punch of a launch. Now they’ve butchered it into a taller wicked twister. Still fun of course, but will never live up to the original.

@@trevor852 Well said...(great Wicked Twister comparison)...it will always be fun to go 120mph over a 420 foot top hat. But Dragster went 0-120 in the 3 second range. TT2 doesn't get up to 120 for over 20 seconds which was longer than Dragster's entire ride. TT2 cradles you up to speed, Dragster shot you out of a canon.

@@Rev1216 very well said... if you want similar acceleration G forces, Storm Runner at Hershey Park is nearly identical to Dragster's force. it's not as long of a launch, but it really gives you that gut punch.
