I still wish it were longer

It really is an epic coaster. I've rode it three times so far. Going back tomorrow for another ride or two at the very least. This highly exceeded my expectations!

I'm still surprised at how this thing flies over the top hat. I am assuming you get some ejector when it hits the top.

The up-to-down Spike transition is a savory experience. The run up, over & down the Top Hat is faster & more intense than Dragster. Especially the twist going down. The increased speed coupled with higher seating really flings you around! A more intense "bottoming out" too. Fun Times!

Gets over that top hat fast wow

The engineers at Zamperla are somewhere laughing because everyone thought they couldn’t pull it off 💯

At what point do all us haters tell Zamperla we were wrong? I will admit that I was definitely one of them in the beginning. Didn't think they could pull it off. My trip is booked for the 3rd week of August. If TT2 has gone all summer without any real issues and we get to tear it up for the 3 days we are in town. My brother and I vowed to both hand write a letter of apology to the team at Zamperla.

I could honestly say I had no doubts until all the public concern started building up. Whether or not they’re new to this size ride, the technology is tried and true. All the operational issues that plagued the wild mouse seem to be an aspect no matter what size the ride is. One could even argue that the wild mouse is more complex due to the number of cars running at once.

A little note: TT2 seems to dispatch in 90 seconds here, at that rate it has a real capacity of 800 people per hour. I hope as the crew gets used to running the ride this increases. If trains can dispatch on the holding track to the transfer while a train is on the course the capacity should be able to increase.

The guy that say I like it more ... no shit, it's the same ride it just has more.....

I was there last year so of course it wasn't open yet, so I am really looking forward to the spike in the back seat next year when I come back to USA for Universal's new park opening and will also do my favourite parks like I always do starting from Florida with a hire car and driving north then east then south and dumping car in LA to fly home (but I might actually do it differently this time and try the Dallas to Sydney flight and just miss California altogether). However, I will say, from a coaster enthusiast's point of view, I do understand why they couldn't add an air time hump after the top hat as they just didn't have enough room, but I wish they adjusted the launch to have a camelback instead, as some new coasters are doing. I think having a wild airtime hump both forwards and backwards during the launch would have truly made it a complete ride, but, it's still way better than it ever was now, despite the launch being a lot less powerful.

I wish the launch was faster, but the ejector over the top hat and the spike makes up for it

Shoulda kept the voice “Arms down head back and hold on” sequence

@Theme_parchive

That would’ve been cool if they did but my guess is they don’t need it because the initial launch isn’t intense enough on the acceleration to dislocate your shoulder anymore lol

That’s because coaster enthusiasts gotta complain about something. “Oh the first launch is so weak….I’m gonna miss the 120 hydraulic launch….blah blah blah”. The first launch can’t exactly hit top speed because it isn’t going over the top hat. Not sure why that’s such a hard concept to grasp.
