Woohoo

Just spent a couple days at Cedar Point and can safely say they don’t call it the roller coaster capital of the world for nothing.

This one is mind blowing!

Rode this one three times.

While I am not against a little adrenaline once in a while, I think I will stick to something a little tamer...

 

[Tom Speirs]

Wow. Good for you. I wet myself, and i am 10,000 miles away!

We're going back for four more days before the end of summer.

Took a bit for me to work up the nerve, but I did ride it on Saturday.

 

 

Top Thrill 2

The World’s Tallest & Fastest Triple-Launch Strata Coaster

Have a need for speed? Get revvved up and buckle in on Top Thrill 2, the world’s TALLEST and FASTEST triple-launch strata coaster. This record-breaking, next generation motorsport machine races a course unlike any other on the planet. Sleek, aerodynamic vehicles launch you not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES as you drive the sky in an epic competition to reach the finish line.

Experience true weightlessness as you immerse yourself in three “free-fall” moments, including the coveted, fan-favorite “rollback” after you’re first launched forward. Then, launch backward and rise into the sky on a cloud-piercing vertical tower, giving you dramatic views of America’s Roller Coast®. A third launch rockets you forward at 120 mph, sending you on a race to the stratosphere before reaching the finish line.

Kinda torn between spewing or crapping myself!

You have bigger balls than King Kong!

Once you’re past the initial shock of loading and sitting on the main drag before first launch you don’t really have time to think about it. 

Backing up that giant second launch ramp and back down once over the crest is a view you’ll never forget!

The lighting and sound effects you don’t see in this video really emphasize the entire experience.

Cedar Point is a great amusement park. All 364 acres of it are on a peninsula on Lake Erie, which provides some really cool views.
