Ohio: Here’s Your First Look At Cedar Point’s Top Thrill 2

For years, visitors of Cedar Point would rush to hop in line to get a spot in line. The lines would easily become 2 1/2 to 3 hours long in minutes. Everyone wanted to experience the thrill at least once if not more than once each time they visit. So, many people were sad when the red and yellow tracks of the Top Thrill Dragster were being taken apart and rolled away, what many saw as the end of an era as the roller coaster was retired and sent to join the rest in the graveyard.

There were many concerns with the functionality of the coaster as it had been standing for almost 20 years since it debuted in 2003. There were also talks of the coaster just being old and needing an upgrade. Many Cedar Point visitors were concerned that the Top Thrill Dragster would be gone forever, but Cedar Point has other plans in mind. They announced that they would be building a Top Thrill Dragster 2 that would open in 2024. The time has come and we now have the first looks at what the Top Thrill Dragster 2 coaster will look like.
