    Airtime hill was very much needed, for how little they brought to the table with how much they hyped it up, and the name could’ve either remained the same or given a cooler name

      Let’s be fair though I don’t think “they” hyped it up, it was all the RUclipsrs that hyped it up. But yeah a little double up would have been cool as well as an airtime hill

      Agreed that long run after the spike looks kind of boring

    I've yet to hear anyone give better alternative names for the coaster that sound equally basic, generic, or derivative. I kinda feel like people would complain about the name no matter what.

      I mean, I thought because people called it simply dragster. I would call it dragster 2 or dragster 2.0

    • @nickallen13
      @nickallen13 Год назад

      People are going to shorten any name regardless, for simplicity, so I'm sure it will just be called "dragster" and everyone will get over it

  • @kurtbrigandi

    I totally agree with the name, the first thing I thought was they built this in Roller Coaster Tycoon and just forgot to change the name.
    I am not as thrilled with this as other people claim, unless they are just saying that to cope with how underwhelming this is. Dragster was really all about the intense launch, not the top hat. They could have used this opportunity to really make something spectacular with this space of the likes of Maverick and SV, this was not it.

    • @zachjones2346
      @zachjones2346 Год назад

      100%. With the space, Intamin's vertical launch would have been perfect to go over 500'. Now we have a coaster with a total price tag of $40 million?? that is getting less thrilling as time goes on. It may be fun, but it probably won't be better.

  • @lyndsiedrapeau527
    @lyndsiedrapeau527 Год назад +3

    The speeds stay the same. If you don't go as high on the spike or tophat, then you will get a bigger boost in speed. Win either way.
    Most coasters start great then end "ok".
    Good coasters keep the pacing through out the ride.
    Elite coasters gradually get better as the ride goes on.
    That's why at a stand still 74 will seem just fine.
    120mph gets you to 420ft
    60mph gets you to 210ft so
    74mph gets you to 259ft on the top hat
    101mph on the vertical spike gets to 353ft.
    The new trains will be nothing short of great.

  • @joesmith6972

    Dropping Dragster from the name was necessary. Because it sure as hell doesn't launch like a dragster anymore.

  • @justinkyle09
    @justinkyle09 Год назад +2

    I love the name and the logo too. I’m so happy that this is happening and we get this coaster back! And everyone saying the wait times will be more well it’ll probably equal out to normal if it doesn’t go down all the time. A working and reliable Top Thrill 2 I will take !!

  • @FlashFoxBox
    @FlashFoxBox Год назад +1

    Ok, I was expecting a reverse lifthill launch (50mph backwards upwards the spike to the top and releasing the car) to improve throughput, but not a triple launch.
    But apart from that, this was what i was expekting.

  • @zachjones2346

    I'm in the minority; I'm fine the the Top Thrill 2 name. I'm not surprised that they are staying with that ultra iconic theme.

    • @stevejewett3610
      @stevejewett3610 Год назад +2

      It’s not a creative name but who cares. It’s just a name. It doesn’t change the experience. I think it would’ve been cool to add. May be a little double up before the spike or something like that. But I still think it’s gonna be a fun ride. Hopefully with the fast track switch capacity is pretty good.

  • @Frankenberry
    @Frankenberry Год назад +1

    Im still excited for it, but, I'm not gonna lie... I'm kinda disappointed. I knew there would be no airtime hill, because they never changed the launch track footers... So, I was kinda ready to accept that. The names kinda dumb... But I can live with that too. My main problem that keeps me from being as excited as I would have been, is that weak ass roll back. I was excited at the aspect of getting the roll back every time, but if the rendering and animated povs are any indication... we are NOT getting that experience. It appears the front of the train MIGHT hit maybe 175 feet... Doesn't look like the rear of the train even gets vertical, I think it would have been WELL BETTER served for that first launch to get closer to 90mph.. So at least you would get 3/4 the say up the spike, maybe the first couple of cars get into the twist toward the top. The Spike looks like it gets BETTER height... but still not getting near the top. But, Oh well... kind of a missed opportunity in my opinion. But, I'm happy it's at least still there, and I'll definitely be going to ride it next year.

  • @constable012
    @constable012 Год назад +4

    I'm curious how the rear spike will feel compared to the tower on Superman at SFMM when it was launching the train in the backwards direction. I'm also very surprised to see that the line is still in the center. It looks like they have some shielding on the sides, but still.

    • @TheCoasterJosh
      @TheCoasterJosh  Год назад +1

      I thought they would move the line too! I think the backwards launch will surprise people.

    • @stevejewett3610
      @stevejewett3610 Год назад +1

      My home park is MagicMountain. I love the backwards launch up, superman. It’s really cool to be up there and looking straight down. I if I could have one complaint that I would say I wish the first lunch went a little bit higher up the top hat, a more true rollback. But I’m not complaining. I think it’ll be fun. I hope with the fast track switch they can get a high capacity.

  • @rollercoasterheaven2170
    @rollercoasterheaven2170 Год назад +2

    The name is a little dumb but I love the logo. That backwards launch is definitely going to be the best part no one is really talking about that they are so focused on the first launch

  • @jeremycovelli
    @jeremycovelli Год назад +1

    It's a bit odd that they're taking out the grand stands.. Also the new / old station looks very weird. I understand trying to keep the old statin roof for nostalgia.. but they probably would have been better just starting from scratch.

    74 mph launch is lame. Better than it being closed but the ride is not anything like the original experience. Never was a fan of these rocking mechanics. I like fast launches.... Really was hoping for at least 100 for the launch... Luckily kingdom ka still exists for now....
