Top Thrill 2 uses LSMs to launch trains which are more reliable as there is no physical contact with the trains. TT2 will have much less downtime due to this.

I'm going for the first time this Saturday, the plan was to get over my fear of coasters 😅 I hope it'll be open but probably not

Damn I got lucky that I was able to get a ride this Friday

Was there in 2003 at the opening day for TTD. Have been every year since it opened, and not once has it been closed down when I was there. I’m a season pass holder and go multiple times a year. Crazy telling that 8 days into its life it’s down for more than just a few hours at the park. I guess a flat ride company wasn’t the savior everyone thought it would be.

Yes, the launch isn't nearly as powerful as the hydraulic launch (but it's far more reliable of a system now), however you're getting *3* total launches. You're getting more ride experience, a new unique element (to the ride) that's the largest of its kind in the world. Don't forget that TT2 is *still* the 2nd tallest and 3rd fastest rollercoaster in the entire world. I'll take the tradeoff for sure! I would've gotten more rides on Dragster if it didn't spend 90% of its time shut down. I'm confident I could get more rides on TT2 in one day than I did on Dragster in 4 days total.

At Winter Chill out, they were having issues unlocking the restraints when they shouldn't have even been locking at the time because they had the battery attached. I assumed they got that all sorted out and it was just because the train wasn't on the track, but maybe that's still an issue they are having? I have no idea, I'm just guessing based off of what I know.

Everyone say it: This is why you use intamin

When I was there on May 1st for Rider preview. We experienced over an hour of Downtime. It probably is more a coincidence, but during testing, the silver train was running and after coming back down the spike, the train just stopped - from straight speed over a hundred mph, to dead stop on the track, around where the launch is…. Not only that, but at least three seats on that train were tagged off and not available for guests. It was such a good and smooth ride, so I hope whatever the issue, it’s resolved quickly!

@timothybowen3170

24 күн бұрын

I'm curious... do you mean it stopped on its 1st launch? 91mph up, & when it came down backwards, before going up the spike, & before the 120mph launch, THAT'S when it abruptly stopped? If so that may have been just a singular initial launch test, which is normal. Otherwise that would be very worrisome!

The problem is with those aluminum trains and those large wheels.

TTD lasted 18 years. TT2 lasted 18 hours. 🤣

Top thrill 3 coming soon. One train got too close to the reverse spike top on Thursday. Gonna add a stopper, and have it go slower over the top hat because of the stress. To compensate for this. Cedar point agreed to have initial launch be at around 101 to match the reverse speed, to get higher on the rollback

How can other states keep their fast rides open and not cedar point though

This is bad news! The damage control for this is going to be epic, because the original had so many breakdowns, now this!

Im going to guess here but a cracked wheel could very well be caused and the actual cause if it's own issue. I keep saying it, they increased the height of the train which increased drag, and in turn created a high center of gravity causing the trains to shimmy. Road wheels being aluminum take all the shimmy on the center of that hub. The OG trains I believe ran a 17 inch road wheel. If they were to shorten up the roads, it would get the ride height down on the train, and in turn the hub of the wheels would be stronger. This would help eliminate the shimmy, give a little bigger safety envelope for the trains and take some wind resistance out of the equation

@robertstephens5185

25 күн бұрын

Only problem with shorter road wheels would be shortening their life cycle. I don't think that was ever a big issue before on the OG trains. Main thing would be to find a high speed compound urethane, probably something similar to before or like what mellinium runs on its road wheel

If not, then they could be drilling new mounting holes and worse case scenario would be entire new bogies
