Cedar Point's Top Thrill 2 won't reopen this year after running for only a few days after its debut this spring.
The armchair engineers at Coasterbuzz (who usually end up being right) suspect it's in part because of a different center of mass on the new Zamperla trains.
Comparing videos from the old Intamin trains on the original ride to videos of the new version there seems to be more "roll" on the trains, which suggests that at very least the seats are higher from the track.
Observations of sensors placed on one of the trains being used in test runs seem to indicate they're testing stress on the chassis of the trains, possibly meaning there were cracks either forming or potentially forming.
Best of luck to Cedar Point and Zamperla while they try to make this cursed penis-shaped thrill ride work. I swear, the site of that ride must be the site of some horrible ancient battle or something because the spirits seem big mad about anything there actually working right.

Pretty sure at this point, Cedar Point extended their season just so they could maybe get TTD2 open for at least a second week this year.
I swear the site of that ride is flippin cursed. Ancient Druidic ritual site or something.

The fact that Top Thrill 2 didn't even last a week before having an "extended closure" for "mechanical modifications" is so amazingly on-brand for that cursed skypenis. I couldn't make it up if I tried.

The civil lawsuit regarding the Top Thrill Dragster accident will begin in Feb 2025. Rachel Hawes (the woman injured) is set to testify along with around 50 other witnesses. #CedarPoint #CedarFair #TopThrillDragster

(Don't worry, Manifold isn't real money and it's not crypto. It's pretend.)

For TWENTY YEARS I've listened to unhinged roller coaster enthusiasts talk about how "Cedar Point could totally add a back spike to Top Thrill Dragster and make it a multi launch coaster."
For TWENTY YEARS I dismissed them saying "nice wishlist, bro. But it's never gonna happen."
Today I am here to eat my words.
It looks like a lot of fun.
