After going to Cedar Point in May years and years ago.. I told myself I am not gonna go in May again, because a lot of rides shut down that day due to wind. As a coaster enthusiast it is very frustrating when you travel there whether it be 2 hours, 10 hours, or overseas. I went opening weekend, because of Top Thrill 2 for sure. I got my rides. That being said, not shocked about this, and for the most part I am not worried about it. The ride will run fine and be more consistent, but I expect May to be an issue due to the lake weather.
It wasn’t that windy yesterday. If they shut the ride down due to yesterday’s wind…. They would never be open.
@@derekk6906 that day I think it was reporting 20mph winds. We will see what happens… eitherway can’t wait to get back on.
Stood in line on Thursday during early entry just for them to not open due to the rain (makes the ride uncomfortable). As the rain got lighter, ride ops started testing again and the train did a full rollback. Ride never opened for the day and every time they tried testing it to try and open it rolled back. Went back Friday and the ride was hauling then was down several times and they ended up going from 3 train ops to 2 train ops. Praying that the train mods work.
Here is my thoughts, and I tried explaining this to someone earlier. Part of the issue with the new trains is the height of the train. You sit higher off the track, the seat backs are higher. Which yes it affects the heartlining, and gives you more whip thru the twists. But it also creates more drag. 20 mph wind at ground level is probably more like 35-38 at the top of the top hat.
It's like having a spoiler on your car, the more you stand that spoiler upright the more drag. The higher rider and seat level is going to increase the drag coefficient. Which is not good with the lighter train.
The height of the trains could definitely play a role.
Interesting development. Thank you, guys! As usual, we can all always count on you for the latest up-to-date news on all things Cedar Point!
When TTD opened in 2003 it was down almost as much as it was open, I was there for 4 days and it was closed for the first 3! It opened on the 4th day I was there and I rode it from the first row and all was good! This is like Deja Vu' all over again
It used to close for every drop of rain too
Being a channel member is definitely worth it. I highly recommend joining.
My son and I were there Friday. We both got to ride it for the first time. It was fantastic.
Was so fun to be able to thank you for your videos in person! (Stopped to talk to you by the Vengeance train tracks on Sat)
TT2 had so much downtime while we were there last weekend.
It was frustrating because we drove 12+ hrs to ride it and it seemed like every time we entered the line, it went down. Thankful for our season fastlane so we were actually able to squeeze multiple rides in. Hoping they're working out the bugs and isn't like this all the time!
What pisses me off about these roller coasters is the fact they don't fit tall guys like myself (I'm 6'6" & 320 lbs), and it sucks! I'm sick and tired if bot being about fit in these rides. They should make these rides more accessible to everyone! I'm not even fat, just really tall.
What is the max height limit for Top Thrill? I couldn't find it posted...
I did think these were some of the largest, most accomodating seats and restraints I've ever sat in on a rollercoaster... including those at Disney parks.
@@astralhitchhiker12 its not the seats and restrains that are the problem its the fact that they literally had to cut out a support to fit the new trains 😭 unfortunetly
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
Don’t really see any of this being the case but time will tell.
So you're just making things up and stating them as fact?
Thanks for another great and informative video. I’m planning a solo trip at the beginning of June before school officially lets out and then I’m taking the fam as many times as I possibly can lol. Hopefully I’ll see yinz there one day! You guys are awesome! Thanks for the updates!
Solo trips can be so fun and relaxing. We’ll be there plenty so please say hi if you see us.
It def seemed like more than weather and a premeditated decision. It’s interesting how Cedar Point disabled the comments on their tweet about TT2 being down too. I bet there were so many disappointed people today, I know I would have been!
I wonder who was monitoring the weather and winds anyways?
Yea I was there on that Thursday, rain was light but persistent and winds weren't that high. I saw the ride rollback twice early in the day and didn't see the ride running for a while. The weather cleared up at around 2:30pm and they tried to test it but it just couldn't get over the top hat even with the weather being clear. I think they ran it like 10 times and it cleared the top hat maybe twice.
My wife and I just got married and are celebrating our honeymoon by going to Cedar Point tomorrow (yes Monday the 13th) and flying out to Fort Lauderdale on the 15th for four nights and then a five day cruise. We’re both Clevelanders and I’d hate to start the honeymoon with some mishaps at Cedar Point. She already said she doesn’t want to get on TT2, but I sure as hell do. One of my closest friends will also be going as well (of his own accord) and he’s going to ride it. We both got the fast lane plus passes so if the weather holds up, then it should be a smooth trip. I keep checking the forecast and I see 74 and partly cloudy. But that’s ideal to me. After tomorrow, I could perhaps update this post as to whether TT2 is operating or not. Love the video guys.
*UPDATE TT2 will be closed indefinitely until they fix whatever is wrong with it. My friend who sent me this video sent me an image of a notice from the park stating as of May 12th it’s down until the problem gets resolved. I’m a bit pissed. Oh well I guess it’ll be Millennium Force and Maverick for us 😢
Steel Vengeance is amazing and well worth the price of admission
You’ll have fun with all the other rides in the park
@@vincespiert it definitely was, although they make you do the most just to get on. You’d think you were getting ready to board a plane or something. I understood why when I got on though. Because my wife had a fanny pack, we had to buy the $3 lockers across from the entrance to the ride (twice because it broke down the first time)
I saw you guys in line for the TT2 on Friday! Awesome content!
Thanks for watching
Yep, the hype has everyone upset. But honestly I don't know why anybody is surprised. This thing is a record breaking new coaster, that surely has things that will need to be worked out over time. It's HUGE, and has A LOT of tech and mods. Heat, wind, rain, structure, speed, rattle, ect. All that will be figured out as it runs through a meriad of circumstances and situations during the season. Hey, they built it for all you hard core nuts. Be glad it runs at all. In my opinion, Cedar Point has a phenomenal amount of great rides, so just go enjoy those, and hope for the best with TT2. Wishing you all luck and fun times!
Sunday may 12 the weather was perfect 65 degrees only 6 mph wind and zero precipitation it’s no excuse why their newest ride is down. Came all the way from New Orleans and for 3 straight days no TT2
That stuff happens. Can’t go places for one ride
Great meeting you guys on opening day when you guys walked into the fast lane ticket shop. Your sons a lot taller than I thought. Keep up with the updates fellas!
Apparently it’s the LCMS. If you look closer at the launch section, they have put blue tape on some magnetic fins.
It seems like some trains are scratching on them during the wobble.
Only speculations.. It is interesting to see the tape though.
LSMs. Linear synchronous motors. But yeah, we noticed the tape that has dates written on them. That may or may not be the issue. But definitely can’t be banging into them if that’s what the trains are doing.
Yes…….as a member myself it’s great well worth the money everybody, so support the channel these guys are great……so join !
Thanks for the endorsement
We are going today, 5/12. The weather forecast is sunny and 65. Winds 3-10mph. If it's closed today, it's definitely a maintenance issue.
We are here now. TT2 still closed. My guess would be they are doing some maintenance work and some fine tuning prior to the busy upcoming Memorial day weekend.
@@BamaRailfan Nope, it needs the trains completely rebuilt. Ride is hot trash currently.
@@supersanic1254 "hot trash" may be a bit of an exaggeration..but apparently there is some modification needed.
Always appreciate you guys perspective!!! I hope it’s not down for long 😃
Thanks for stopping in. See you in a few weeks
I just saw a post that they're closing it for modifications for awhile, no reopening date announced as of yet.
Yup. A lot of speculation about the modifications but nothing concrete yet
Haven't ridden it for almost 15 years cus it's always been shut down or before fast pass so the line was 3-4 hours. Guess I probably won't again this Halloweekends... lovely.
We’re not saying anything for sure. Right now it’s speculation.
@@BeachcliffStudios With my luck, its almost certain lol
@@HalloweenScreamI've also lost my confidence in Zamperla seeing how immediately after opening they had to do modifications on the ride. I fucking wasted my one trip to Cedar Point this summer on the very weekend it closed. I'm fuckinf livid at both Cedar Point and Zamperla for wasting my fucking money and time.
@stephenlee1664 I flew in for that same weekend but luckily canceled my hotel and tickets a couple days before because the weather was gonna be so horrific. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if it happened again this year
So let me see if I got this str8, CP is mad at Company A they bought a prototype ride from with issues, SO THEN you hire Company B to reimagine your prototype ride that’s has NEVER done a project this big with prototype trains, mean while Company A has now work out there issues is now killing it. HMMM 🤔
I’m not sure we know that cedar fair is upset with zamperla. Haven’t heard anything like that
I know many are disappointed and I get that and totally understand, especially if you are planning a trip there to ride this now but just remember, this is a good thing, they want to run this thing and make adjustments so down the road it's a very fun, reliable, SAFE ride that you will eventually enjoy. Just give them a little time to work this out and I'm sure all will be fine.
I think this is a lot more than just some weather…. My birthday trip to go to CP is in mid August I really hope whatever it is the situation is fixed by then.
You’d hope it won’t take that long
Spring is very windy. Summer the weather can change at the drop of a hat too though. Fall is oddly very reliable, you get 1 washout day a week, typically falling on or near the same day every week (in 2021 and 2022 they fell on Sundays or Mondays, hopefully for Halloweekends you get lucky and it falls on say Tuesdays) while the rest of the week is nearly completely clear and humidity-free. 2022 Halloweekend Thursdays for example were perfect weather literally every time.
Unpredictable
We’ve had a pretty unusually high number of tornado’s touchdown in Ohio recently as well. I actually think all things considered it’s been running really well. There’s a pretty high likelihood that there are reps from Zamperla still hanging around and “playing“ with the operating limits. The nice thing is that it can’t valley!
Zamperla stayed in Sandusky for like two months after wild mouse opened last year. They’ll be there at least that for TT2
i hope they can figure this out quickly
I'd assume that this seasons there will be alot of "fine" tuning of the final launch, in relation to adverse weather conditions.
The engineers will get a chance to fine tune it on site when the weather is being temperamental, then they could adjust the intensity of the final launch to combat the wind in order to make it over the top.
That's only if the LSM's aren't maxed out already, if they are then their screwed.
Has anyone seen a wind measuring sensor on the top hat?
Haven’t looked for one but I don’t recall seeing one up there.
Why does everyone forget that when Top thrill dragster opened, it had to be shut down for modifications to the trains, like removing the big wheels the wing off the back 😂
They took scissors and cut that spoiler off. 😂
What happens when the coaster rolls back un expected ? Do they allow it keep rollling back with a small trim going backward and continue for a fourth launch? Or do they slow it down, stop it and restart the process
Never seen a roll back on this one but the old one either relaunched or pulled in the station and shut down. We’re not sure what made the determination for which one happened.
I got to ride may 10 and loved it! I live in Raleigh NC so carowinds and kings dominion as well as Busch gardens at all home parks for me as I’m right in the middle of all 3. I seen you guys in line! But didn’t wanna be that guy….
Glad you got to ride.
notice that in the video, any time the train is struggling to make it over the top hat, the ride is empty. with the weight of the passengers comes more momentum, making it easier to crest the top hat. if the park had put some water dummies on the train, it would have not had any issue going over the top hat. there is a lot of talk about CP and zamperla adding more weight to the trains, i honestly dont think it would be necessary. i havent seen any reports of the trains struggling to make the hat with passengers since the relaunch.
True but even empty trains should make it over
@@BeachcliffStudios They usually do, however they do it at a snail's pace. Top Thrill Dragster would also regularly struggle with empty trains.
Most coasters will run at a crawl, or super slow when empty. Several top tear a+ coasters have to have water dummies in a couple rows while testing, or they will valley between elements. It's a fine balance when engineering rides. If they design them to run full speed or close to it when empty, they will FLY around the track with riders on it, causing more g-forces to be applied to the riders and the track/ structure
Hey I got some information for TT2. It was rolling back on the cold and windy day because they were testing the threshold of it during those conditions with the higher wind speeds and it was closed today because they were testing some stuff on it. Cant say more than that 😉.
Not sure we follow. How were the rollbacks and barely clearing the top hat part of a test?
@@BeachcliffStudios It has never operated in those conditions before so they were sending empty trains in it knowing that it would most likely fail to go over the top hat for it to be looked at and tested.
@@Keelay04 they operated in the winter during early tests and then in March and April. I guess if they are testing to fix possible issues then that is definitely a good thing.
It gives them more time to figure out the locker situation. Maybe that's why it's down lol They'd need more lockers for HalloWeekends Saturdays. TT2 was very rough side-to side. TT2 isn't a coaster I'd ride a lot. TTD I looked forward to riding numerous times. A true rollback was incredible. TT2 still had nice things going for it. I'm glad it's a hit. They're selling a lot of merch. They'll get it running. If it's smoother I'd be more apt to ride it. I might even splurge for a locker lol
Unfortunately the lockers are what they are. Highly doubt they’re motivated to fix the issue.
@@BeachcliffStudios yeah I was being funny : )
Honestly they most likely are catching too much wind so they will most likely either
A. modify the trains for better aero lowering the seats if possible as the most likely option since its taller than the old trains
B. Throw some ballast on the undercarriage in form of solid metal to help it not get affected as much since the intamin trains were much heavier but that could also cause much more wear and tear on the trains since they werent designed for that much weight without going back to the drawing board
I have a CP trip planned for 5/21 and 5/22. I really hope the weather pans out for at least one of those days. I’d be heartbroken to drive 5.5 hours from Louisville to not get to ride TT2. Thanks for the info!
Good luck!!
They practice a 3rd launch roll back every morning. If you get to the park early enough you see them do it. I’m pretty sure that’s what this video shows. Just the early morning roll back attempt. To my knowledge I haven’t seen anything remotely close to a roll back during the day… I’ve been at the park every open day except Sunday May 12th. I’ve Ridden TT2 9 times
That video was all during the day. It was definitely not rolling back on purpose. And we’ve been to the park early for many years and never noticed any intentional rollbacks.
We’ve gotten on it 17x so far and also never came close but also only rode it on nice weather days.
It makes sense with the weather. Old Dragster had heavier trains compare to the lighter trains.
New trains are actually heavier. In general, LSMs trains are heavier because of the magnets.
They are much lighter. The older versions still had magnets on the bottom because the brake fins on the tracks were all magnets.
@@BeachcliffStudios they had to use lighter material for the train because of the change to LSMs which involves way bigger magnets. Indeed they had some before but these ones are way bigger. I would be very surprised if these trains are lighter than the original ones.
@@quality_coasters1360 not really following that though because there are a lot of LSM coasters but these are the first to use the aluminum chassis to keep the weight down.
@@quality_coasters1360 pretty sure they said these are lighter because they are aluminum. If you’ve ever worked with aluminum you know it’s waaaaay lighter than steel
FYI GUYS……I’ve heard a new update on TT2 closer Tuesday May 14 !!! That it looks like it’s a problem with the trains wheels and that a best case reopening for the ride will be sometime in July ! And a worst case is it will not reopen till next year ! It all depends on how fast Zamperla can redesign and test and install new wheels for all three trains. Sorry to be the bearer of this reported bad news.
We’ve seen similar rumors but we’ve decided not to say anything about it until something more concrete comes in. There’s definitely a possibility of a very long delay though, that’s pretty much a given.
u think they would have thought of this wind issue, like having some wind sensors at the top of the ride so the computer can self adjust on the final launch to give it more to get it over the top hat at a consistant speed.
I was In line for opening day and I saw you two in the front row!
We’ve got some rides on it at least. 😂 now to get it back open.
I read about this thanks for doing this video and better explaining about this issue have a great day guys
Well this was before the news today.
My friend who works there said they were testing on Thursday to see if it would go over in those conditions since they didn’t really have that weather while testing previously. Also I was there Thursday for my birthday and it was terrible multiple downpours, wind was so bad that Valravn had to shut which can run in 30 mph winds. Steel vengeance got shut a couple times for the wind as well. Top thrill 2 wasn’t open as well with most of the other rides that day.
Was Millenium open Thursday?
@@piercem26 I did not see it run, I was not in the back of the park much on Thursday I did Maverick twice and the rest of our rides was on wild mouse
@@piercem26 rode millie twice in the morning (they let us get right back on the loading platform because there were hardly any people in line), then rode stevie twice within 30 minutes. After getting off the first run on stevie, I saw a guy get the whole train to himself b/c nobody was in line at the platform,lol
I think you guys nailed it on the head based on what they put on their site. “We will do everything possible to reopen Top Thrill 2 as soon as we are confident we can deliver the ride experience that our guests deserve.” Sounds to me like it’s nothing to do with a mechanical issue, and they’re upgrading the ride.
When do you think we will see an announcement from Cedar Point with an estimated fix and reopening date for TT2? I have a 2 day trip planned to Cedar Point on June 3rd and 4th but will reschedule for later this summer if this ride is down. I have 4 other people coming with me so I’m hoping they announce soon when they think this may reopen again.
From the looks of things early June is highly unlikely. But it may not be as big of an undertaking as we think and maybe it’ll surprise us.
@@BeachcliffStudios Ok thanks. I was hoping they would have this going again by memorial day weekend or by Coastermania. Just don’t know how bad the problem is with whatever caused it to shut down. If this isn’t open by May 28th, I’m probably going to reschedule for sometime in July.
Hey guys. First cedar point trip and finally have to make a decision sometime tomorrow.
First week I’d be arriving June 3 and staying 4 full days after that. The only real concern here is ride ops and the park not being open late. But pros are probably much less crowded right? My other option is to arrive June 15th and have the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I just have realized that the 16th is Father’s Day. How bad will crowds be between the two? I’d love night rides but not if everything is absolutely slammed.
Will buy fast lane if needed.
I suppose I could also look at the 24th week as well as that is an option. What do you guys think. For me this could be a once in 20 year trip so it’s not like just be back next year kinda energy. If it was I wouldn’t even remotely rethink it. I wanna ride as many coasters as many times as I want
I’ll be there June 3rd and 4th. Hoping TT2 is up and running and the weather cooperates. I’m making a 13 hour drive so I’m not going to be too happy if TT2 is not operating.
@@Coasterfan71 are u nervous lol? This will be my first time. I probably won’t get to come back for a long time. Do you have an opinion on what I posted?
June 7th you’ll get some night rides but only one day of your trip. Crowds shouldn’t be terrible but will still have decent lines on major rides.
Your other option is open until 10 each day but all weekend days. If you’re willing to buy fast lane then it shouldn’t be too bad for you.
The week of the 24th looks like your best option though. Open til 10, weekdays vs weekend, still would want fast lane for at least a day though.
@@BeachcliffStudios so in your opinion first week of June will still be just as crowded as later June?
I was hoping for a Jumpstart
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
I was planning on going out today (Sunday) just to check things out. just got a new car a month ago and I'm itching to take a little road trip
Go for it
I’m going to Cedar Point the first week of June for 2 days. Going to be driving 13 hours to get there. If TT2 isn’t up and running those days I’m there, I’m going to be real pissed after driving all that way. I guess we’ll see. Fingers crossed.
I didn't go today because once I saw the tweet from CP about it not opening, I changed my mind. They better fix whatever the problem is quickly because next weekend is my birthday and I'm staying at the Express Hotel. They cannot be letting this stuff happen.
Yea it’s ruff I drove 7 hours to not get to ride it a few years back
You are out of luck. Closed to fix a mechanic issue on the trains. Once complete the ride will get in inspected and reopened. No reopen date announced.
@@kurtwetzel154not true.. it'll be fixed faster than you think..you just sit back and watch. Guarantee it's no longer than 5 or 6 days
@@jeffbizieyou can't guarantee that, haha.
The ride is closed for a mechanical operation on the trains. After that it will get inspected and reopened. No date yet.
Is it possible to speed the launches up for days like this?
If indeed it’s weather causing difficulties getting over the top hat then something would need to be done
I hope they can fix it soon. Miss when CP was open everyday when it opened for the season.
We were actually itching to go this weekend to ride TT2 again. I feel better about not going now. Did much needed yard work instead. See you next Sunday at MI Adventure preview day to ride Timbers? : )
LOL unfortunately it’s not in the cards at the moment.
The trains being empty obviously have an effect on the ability to clear the top hat. However it’s hard to do those test runs before opening without sending empty trains.
True, empty trains make it harder but they should have still be making it over
CP has never really been transparent concerning extended ride downtime, and it doesn't make sense. Tony loves to tweet anyways, so it wouldn't hurt at all if he tweeted TT2 was getting updated with better wheel bearings or whatever.
They hate transparency
Did you really think this wouldn't happen? This was an experimental coaster. New Coasters always have a temporary closed period to work out the kinks overtime now that the ride is fully open to the public. This should be no shock to the internet honestly and it's too early to tell if the ride is going to be reliable long time. You have to wait until later this year to answer that question. This is the first coaster lightening trains were ever put on EVER. So plz really this should be no surprise. The ride will be fine and will be open again soon. The same thing happened with Wildcats revenge closed multiple times for a few days over the off season in its first operating year.
It’ll be back open…soon is a real question though
They said winds were 20 plus mph. I visited Carowinds in April 2023 and the winds were around that strong and Fury 325 and Intimidator were down most of the day until they died down. Not many taller coasters operate in winds that strong im shocked Dragster operated in 30 mph winds. That seems like that would be a disaster.
We've seen Fury operate in some pretty harsh conditions. It's supposed to need to the temps to be in the mid 40s but it's operated at barely 40 degrees in the past.
Heard it was down all day today
Indeed it was
Perhaps that’s the “ shake” you felt?. ElToro’s vid from today says it’s closed indefinitely.
They announced the closure the day after we recorded this. It very well may have something to do with the shake but we can’t say with certainty.
Just glad you guys are ok🙏
@@annmariemarino2003 we were never in danger I’m sure
W vid. I think it just the weather. The wind is crazy there
Apparently weather and faulty trains.
Mostly the downtime is because of the switch track.
Most of the mechanical downtime is. The weather downtime is a different story
The weather in OHIO has been rather rough. Lightning, downpours, high winds, and tornado warnings. I’d rather them be safe than sorry. It’s fine.
The tornadoes haven’t been up north though. But middle part of Ohio has been slammed with them this season.
Im scared that it wont be stable in the long run, its a double prototype ride. Hopefully they dont install seatbelts because of increased dispatch and discomfort.
Don’t really see why they’d add seatbelts. Obviously anything is possible but don’t see any reasoning to do that
see i knew i wasn’t the only one who was thinking what yall were
This is what I thought the uncertain mis alignment of the switch track
I think they may have figured out that the silver train needs to be exchanged or something needs done to it, we went Friday and they shut down the ride to take it off the track completely. Have they discovered that the silver train is a problem child and they need to address it?
Looks like they are all being modified.
They need to put a friction wheel at peak of tophat. So doesnt get stuck up there haha. Its happened on a ride before. Itll work itself out.
maintenance not worth it to go all the way up there for a tire
It’s definitely too difficult to maintain something 420ft in the air.
@@BeachcliffStudios Watcha mean? Kingda Ka has one (or it used to) and there's an elevator that goes up to the top of the tophat. They even have evacuation procedures for that scenario. That's why there's railing up there. There's other tophats that have one. Just a trip up the elevator every 3-6 months.
Someone told me its the train wheels apparently a wheel cracked on the silver train from what i was told
Everything is speculation. Very few people actually know the real issue.
Why were some trains not loading the center 2-4 seats?
We know that there were some issues with a couple rows. And then it seemed like randomly they’d have empty rows for no reason. We’d see a lot of people assigned to a row and then move to another. This could account for that if the line attendant isn’t always paying attention.
Oh how do they distinguish that you have an all season fast pass to get unlimited rides on TT2?
They have scanners at all the fast lane lines so your fast lane when it’s all season is “attached” to your pass. It’s just a way for the scanner to know you’re all season vs daily.
All that and they pulled the silver train off on Friday afternoon which makes me think maybe a maintenance issue
It’s not unusual for individual trains to be pulled off for maintenance.
@@BeachcliffStudios yeah, thats true
I don't think we will know if it's more reliable for a couple years
They just shut her down until further notice for train modification:/ supposed to be there next week hoping for it to reopen but not holding my breath
If the wind blows hard enough in the right direction, it would be cool to blow the train right off the spike... Id still ride it if given the chance.
Sorry folks TT2's Closed. The Snoopy out front should have told you.
Why dont they design these with a magnetic failsafe at the top to get it over if its not going to make it?
We wondered that too. It probably has to do with the difficulty doing maintenance on them if something goes wrong
its a bummer that it migth close for the season
It won’t close for the season
If it’s a modification to the train then i think i might re open late mid season.Hopefully as soon as possible
It's just weather for the love of god, it can't operate in above 35MPH from the top of the tower. So calm down it is all ready shown better reliability then TTD.
You should watch the video. LOL
So on second rollback does the ride stop?
Yes
It's a wheel bearing or lube problem, thats why they were checking all wheels.
Where did this info come from? Because they’ve been checking a lot of things
@@BeachcliffStudios most coasters have different wheels for different temperatures, but most coasters don't go backwards at 101 mph wheel bearings don't like that, they need bigger bearings to handle the speed.
Is that a Canadas Wonderland map in the top middle?
Might be
Would have to look
New update from cedar point modification being worked on
Because you have any idea.
We need complete sentences here
Anything cold or windy? It’s in Ohio it’s mostly cold and windy 😂
Not from June to October. And that’s their operating season
This is a "new" coaster. It's going to have kinks to work out. I think it'll ultimately be OK.
Ok
nobody trying to hear this. weather...really. They knew this ride would be off Lake Eerie. Not a good look for Cedar point and Zamperla
The weather seems like an issue but keep in mind that was never confirmed. Could just be a crazy coincidence
I'm going to Cedar Point on May 23rd
Have fun
I’m not gonna even try to ride it when I go just focus on the others and let people stand in line it’s gonna be a junk ride again just like the original
They are having an issue with the trains it's now closed temporarily untill problem is resolved
Yup
Bet it has something to do with the shake people are complaining about.
We were one of the few channels not afraid to call out the shake. That said, it’s possible but doubtful because so many rides are rattly and shaky and they just keep on keeping on. 😂
Everything has issues… nothing always run smoothly.. I’m sure all the bugs will get worked out
They may be setting up to work them out now with the closure
The thrill with the original was the blast off. That's all gone now. MEh.
The launch was definitely what we liked so much. But the sustained speed at 120mph on this one coupled with the backwards launch has its own amazingness
I definitely think even with all eyes on them they felt they needed to make these changes..kudos to them for taking the heat but also being transparent and doing whats best for the longevity of the ride and the safety of the rider's!
For sure
did you all know something?! CP posted it's closed for a while
Yup we just saw a little while ago
I’m starting to think that this is something inherently created by the ride itself. Maybe Stratocaster designs in general, no matter what launch system you use, this might just always be unavoidable
When you go that high there can and will be issues.
It's a zamperla struggle coaster, atleast it looks good
It’ll get back up and running sooner than later
Ok so a brand new, PROTOTYPE ride has to close after its grand opening for some adjustments..... to this never been done before PROTOTYPE.... this is completely normal, why is everyone on the internet going crazy.
This kind of thing happens all the time with new prototype never tested before in the real world things and yet nobody says anything, interesting.
Who’s going crazy?
@@BeachcliffStudiosI've seen 8 vids in the last few days popping up all over youtube and TikTok. TONS of people conjecturing and pitching fits in the comments. 😂 Glad I'm more of am RMC/Mack/Intamen/B&M fan. I like rides that are long and twisty. Cedar Point has a lot of better rides than TT2, so I dont get the big deal. 🎢
I heard if you rollback after the 3rd launch it launches you again at 150mph and you go flying right off the spike into Indiana
This is a joke if u couldn’t tell
