In the US all structures 200ft or over must have those aircraft warning lights. (Fun fact, that's why Tower of Terror at WDW is 199ft)

Only 5 of their 17 coasters (including TT2) exceed 200ft,So basically every coaster at cedar point near enough
What you mean only
How many parks in the world have that many coasters over 200ft. The point was that Cedar point are known for their massive skyline

The train has gone over the top hat.
Very much a video of telling not showing but the fleeting clips from on board TT2 makes me consider booking a trip back to Cedar Point ASAP.

Crickey yes, it is. "Arms down. Arms down"!Considering this is taken from a track angle POV and not the guest's eye level, that station head chopper is going to be immense:

That does look amazing. It will definitely be a great part of the ride, and something that TTD 2 offers that the original didn't have.Considering this is taken from a track angle POV and not the guest's eye level, that station head chopper is going to be immense:

My current favourite head chopper has to be the valley after El Toro's first drop. But crikey would this take the biscuit! Even knowing all the clearance envelope stuff, there is no way I could ride this and not dip my arms at least a little haha.

3rd January blog update.
Says there now concentrating on the ride area now the initial testing is complete.
Good selection of new photos as well, can't believe how close the station track is to the spike track. Though they're about to build some sort of fencing between the two.

Latest update from the park, quite a short one detailing the work being done to the station building.
Also saw for 2024 the parks Fast Lane+ offering for $99 will only get you 1 go on Top Thrill 2 alongside unlimited usage on the other attractions. Six Flags Great America did the same on their Flash Pass for Maxx Force of just 1 queue jump on that ride per day when I visited in 2022. (Kondaa at Walibi Belgium also did the same)

It's up to $199 for FL+ depending on date of visit. Plus tax.
I've always thought it odd that Cedar Fair only offer the equivalent of Towers' platinum FT. You either get unlimited all day priority access to everything (or nearly everything for a lower price) or nothing at all. I just want to avoid the 2hr waits for Maverick and SteVe but apparently that'll cost $165 + tax when I'm there.

Makes you realise that Towers platinum is a decent price

Latest update from the park as they continue to paint, pour concrete for the new fences and queue line, and have the ride control panels now in place.

Latest blog update. Some great photos from the site.
Still loads to be done and they're soon going to be testing on 2 trains, with the 3rd still not on site yet.

Obligatory looks slow post.
Also looks like a bit of a wobble as it nears the end of the launch track. Certainly be a much higher riding position in those trains than the old Intamin ones.

Latest Top Thrill 2 video from Cedar Point.
Focuses on them getting everything ready for the signage to go in.
But more importantly shows Tony Clark riding it with mixed footage of a pov and rider cams.
Have to say it looks like the initial launch takes you a decent amount of the way up the tower, and that head chopper when coming back down the reverse spike!
