★ Predecessor (Top Thrill Dragster) held world height & speed records, 2003–2005
Top Thrill 2 is a launched steel roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, open since 2024. The ride stands 420 feet tall, drops 405 feet and reaches 120 mph over 2,800 feet of track.
A ground-up rebuild of the original Top Thrill Dragster, now launched twice from opposite towers instead of once. The second launch sends the train backward up a twisted spike before a final forward run to the brakes.
Field note: the rebuild followed a serious 2021 accident that closed the original ride.
