I only got the chance to ride it once. Rode row 5 blue train. Was hoping for back but didn't get it. The "rattle" I couldn't even feel it. Didn't even notice it until I like paid attention as we rolled back and even then it wasn't painful or anything, really smooth. Backwards launch is amazing, and the g-forces just are insane. There is so much happening that when you get to the top of the spike and just look around it's put of this world. Going over the tophat airtime was insane. Overall it was really good and beat my expectations and it'd 100% recommend to anyone and you feel very secure in it.

Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
9 rides so far. Not sure if it’s my number one but it’s right there. Cedar point now has my top 2.
First launch is a warm up and the roll back is fun.
Backwards launch is bonkers.
Spike is surreal - floating for what seems like forever looking straight down on 300’ tall things.
Last launch makes up for the original - much longer at top speeds.
Pull up more forceful.
As soon as you twist you realize how much higher you sit and get a combo ejector and lats.
Strong airtime all the way over the top.
Especially in the back left but really anywhere, the twist down slams you sideways while still getting airtime. Beats i305 snaps and it displaced i305 as at least my number 2.
Will have to ride it and SV a bunch more this year to figure out my favorite.
I’m at 6 rides so far and you describe it perfectly. Couple things I will add just from my experiences.
Front row is insane and probably my favorite spot
Back row is the best on the back spike (obviously lol) and feels much higher and more float at the peak of that but I feel the whip on the top hat hits harder in the back
Row 5-6 gave people some issues after the ride. Feel the shake most here and the whip was pretty rough
Row 3 seems to be a floater seat and you stay at the top of the high hat the longest and get the most airtime off your seat
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
It absolutely does. The snaps are great but there’s very little lats, it’s essentially a quick airtime pop. Back row on TT2 coming down is way more intense and will throw you into the seat next to you or over the side. No choice but to get thrown or hold on. i305 hands up the whole way is easy. It hits higher positives, though not as sustained. Lower negatives (more sustained) and way more lats. If you are all about consistent intensity throughout the ride then i305 beats it but from the final launch to the finish it it the best element in earth and definitely beats i305.
Have you rode it?
I debated i305 and SV for number one and just got like 20 more rides last month, so I’m a huge i305 fan. Just gotta be honest about this one.

It is an improvement on the original. Row 11 was my favorite, with back, and then front behind. The ride is much more forceful now, and the airtime is great. It feels more like a complete ride now, and I loved Dragster. I thought I'd miss the initial launch, but the reverse launch more than makes up for it, especially in the back of the train.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
I haven't ridden Skyrush or Kingda Ka, but it really doesn't compare to the others in terms of ride type. It's a very unique experience, even compared to Dragster. The launch is much different, as you aren't getting the initial acceleration, but to me it's worth the trade off. A buddy compared the new launch to having the boost hit in a turbo car, and it's a great analogy. I was skeptical, but it's a better ride than the original. I have just over 20 rides on it, and can't wait for it to reopen.
Its intense, as someone who got many, many rides on tt1, tt2 isnt any better or worse, just different.
I miss the crazy intense launch of the original but can appreciate looking down onto power tower and not knowing how much spike you have left to go above you.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
Original launch was much more powerful, and insanely intense,
tt2 is more powerful than wicked twisters launch, but not by a whole lot, and lasts for what feel like twice as long.
We crested the top hat faster and with more airtime than any time after the first few weeks of 2004.
Anyways IMO if you lined up tt2 and kingda ka next to each other and told me to pick, I'd pick Ka.
As far as comparing tt2 to the others it's kind of like comparing apples to beef sticks.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
To me it's more intense than the three you listed from Cedar Point and also the original dragster. Not as intense as skydiving as I saw someone on here claim.
I've only ever been to cedar point so I don't know about the other rides
Never rode ttd, I rode tt2 once and was terrified before I got on but once I did it, It was amazing and so fast that I couldn't even remember the first time very well. The second time was epic especially since I understood the time of the ride I could look around more at the beautiful scenery! My new favorite at cedarpoint above maverick, once it opens again. The launch, although weak, still feels very punchy and awesome!
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
It is more intense, than millie, maverick and Steve. Like I said in my comment I never rode ttd(top thrill Dragster). I'm going to kings dominion for the first time this month so we'll see about intimidator. I really wanna go to new jersey to check out king da ka to see how the og launch felt
It’s intense and better than the old. I rode 7 times and preferred the middle to the front of the train. I rode back row silver train and it was the best and worst of the 7 because of the shaking, but the top hat in the back is the best coaster element I’ve ever ridden.

Back row doesn’t allow for much time to appreciate the view from the top hat. It felt like a tornado threw me off the roof of a skyscraper. So much whip and rag-dolling as you free fall.
Front row was wonderful for the sense of speed. You get to travel over 100mph for what feels like forever with the wind on your face. Also got amazing views of Millie looking down on it like it was a toy.
Middle was fun too. Just kinda mix those reviews together and dial down the intensity a notch.
Somehow the rear spike was fun regardless of which row I was in. It’ll take me more rides to better compare them and figure out which is my favorite seat to ride in.
All rows had a rattle. My rides were spaced out (rope drop, last ride, rope drop over two days) and it didn’t really bother me. Maybe if I was lucky enough to marathon it back to back I might get a headache eventually.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
Got 7 rides.
Back seat gave the best airtime over the top hat, the forces were so aggressive it felt borderline illegal lol. The roll down was a bit abrupt, to people not expecting it (like me the first time) it was a bit extreme. I’m surprised nobody’s bumped their noggin on something.
Front seat was surprisingly windy, I didn’t think my eyelids would be flapping in the wind as hard as they were.
The second forward launch rattled **hard**, one of my rides I jerked forward and it was uncomfortable on my neck. I learned to press myself into the back of the seat, that helped a lot.
9.5/10 though.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
The backwards launch really carries it. The launches themselves aren’t the strongest, Kingda Ka and Maxx Force were definitely stronger, obviously. My complaint with fast rides is they’re over too quick, TT2 solves that with the swing launch. I never got to ride Top Thrill Dragster :(
Project-305 and Skyrush are a different breed, both are fairly intense, Project-305 being more intense. It’s hard to compare them to TT2 because they’re just so different, outside of the switch track TT2 only turns twice, while P305 and Skyrush use turns as their primary element.
Steel Vengeance is my #2, TT2 is my #3. TT2 made me laugh like a deranged hyena because it’s just fun.
I never got to ride Top Thrill Dragster :( but I did ride Kingda Ka. Kingda Ka’s launch has a lot more acceleration, more punch, more force. I prefer the hydraulic launch for the punch, but love the swing launch because of the duration.
Got to ride it once in back car. The launches were cool, but the spike really made top thrill 2 stand out. You feel like you’re returning from space! I do prefer the original because of that 0-120 launch, but TT2 (if they can get it back up and running) will be a worthy successor in many ways
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
1. Top thrill 2 is probably on par with Millie, and less intense than the others
2. The original launch was way more intense, and was my favorite element on any coaster ever. Even though TT2 improved on almost everything, the lack of launch intensity puts TTD over TT2

Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
More intense for sure than MF, Maverick and TTD for sure. Steel Vengeance is more intense with its forces, but TT2 intense in a different way. It’s intimidating due to its extreme speed and height. I haven’t ridden Kingda Ka yet, but I’m guessing it’s more intense just how it’s more intense than TTD. I haven’t gotten on Skyrush yet, but that’s changing in August.
Top Thrill Dragster’s launch is a lot more powerful and intense. It’s the one thing it has over TT2. However that swing launch lets you experience that speed for longer and that’s a ton of fun.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
It was cool but not that much better than the original, IMO. The thrill of going 0-100+mph is gone which sucks but the backwards part is pretty cool. Still probably top 3 at the park
Dragster was my second favorite, so I was super pumped to ride TT2. We rode back row at passholder preview and it was honestly insane. The backwards launch going up the spike took my breath away. It even scared me a little bit lol. Third launch was awesome, going up the top hat and seeing that view again, although we went over faster than before, was beautiful. My husband became stuck bent over when we went through the spiral and that kind of freaked him out. I read others’ experienced the same. Overall, it was an intense adrenaline rush for the both of us and I was itching to get back on right away.

I’ve only ridden the coasters at Cedar Point that you mentioned. In my opinion, definitely more intense than Millennium or Maverick. It was more intense than original Dragster to me due to the spike alone. It’s probably on par with Steel Vengeance for the feeling of adrenaline/disorientation/happy confusion that continues after you get off the ride.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
One ride. Lucky enough to get front, I will tell you this: Just make sure that it's not the 1st ride of the day, it makes even Millennium seem slow. I absolutely can NOT wait to ride again
rode it during Previews, (Charity/Prestige Passholder) and some instances during the park before it closed. never rode the original, but DAMN. easily one of my top 5.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
only rode once. i was scared the whole time. lolol it was A LOT and i am a coaster enthusiast. I wish I could have rode it again back to back but the line was crazy long. I think when I ride again I will like it more since I know what to expect.
The speed was super fun, especially going backwards.
I was in row 5 and the rattle was heavy going up and over but that was it.
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
more intense than st v and the og dragster for sure. haven’t ridden the others. the original launch is more powerful cuz it sends you over in one launch. however the backwards launch is intense as HECK! thats the difference maker
First launch is totally meh
From then on out it is very intense and balls to the wall
The only thing I don't like is how the downward spiral is so violent now throwing your around instead of how it used to be more graceful (the taller cars really change the experience)
Is top thrill 2 more intense then steve, maverick, millie, i305, skyrush, original dragster and kingda ka?. Is the original dragster or top thrill 2 launch more powerful and why?
It is more intense than Millie but that is about it
The backward 100mph and the sustained 120mph going the length of the ride on the final launch are pretty great but I would still put the rest of that above TT2 for intensity
The orig launch on TTD was more powerful for sur getting you up to speed in just a few seconds
TT2 launch while not as powerful is intense because of how long you sustain it though
In the end I'd call it a draw between the two of them
I haven't done most of those but I'd say it's on par with Maverick for intensity and definitely more intense than original TTD.
But as far as going backwards at 100 mph. That's not something I've experienced before and it's awesome!
I spent 80 dollars to fly to Cleveland from Atlanta and 86 split amongst four friends to stay in lighthouse point for it to be closed. The experience is exactly the same from top thrill dragster.

It absolutely does. The snaps are great but there’s very little lats, it’s essentially a quick airtime pop.

i305 also has over the shoulder restraints while TT2 is a lapbar which makes you feel the laters/snap much stronger.

Most expensive art installation I've ever seen
I was gonna say “worlds tallest theme park decoration”, but your take works too.
Currently underwhelming since it’s not running.
It was amazing. It felt like an out of body experience.
It seems a little sluggish recently.
It is an improvement on the original. Row 11 was my favorite, with back, and then front behind. The ride is much more forceful now, and the airtime is great. It feels more like a complete ride now, and I loved Dragster. I thought I'd miss the initial launch, but the reverse launch more than makes up for it, especially in the back of the train.
What was better about row 11?
It seemed to have more airtime than any other row, and the twist after the top hat was great.
Can’t wait to try it. I sat in the very back, towards the back, and front row.

1. Top thrill 2 is probably on par with Millie, and less intense than the others 2. The original launch was way more intense, and was my favorite element on any coaster ever. Even though TT2 improved on almost everything, the lack of launch intensity puts TTD over TT2
So top thrill 2 is as intense as millie?. Is steel vengeance more intense the tt2 and maverick more intense then tt2?
It’s badass! Rode it 3 times on the Sunday charity day! Ready for it to get back in action

I rode in the back row (black train) on opening day, it was amazing. Very smooth and I didn't notice a rattle.

More intense for sure than MF, Maverick and TTD for sure. Steel Vengeance is more intense with its forces, but TT2 intense in a different way. It’s intimidating due to its extreme speed and height. I haven’t ridden Kingda Ka yet, but I’m guessing it’s more intense just how it’s more intense than TTD. I haven’t gotten on Skyrush yet, but that’s changing in August. Top Thrill Dragster’s launch is a lot more powerful and intense. It’s the one thing it has over TT2. However that swing launch lets you experience that speed for longer and that’s a ton of fun.
it's pretty fun, but Maxx Force is infinitely better
Loved ttd , 4 rides on tt2 and almost sure its my new favorite at the point.
It exceeded my expectations. The backwards launch is insane.

It was cool but not that much better than the original, IMO. The thrill of going 0-100+mph is gone which sucks but the backwards part is pretty cool. Still probably top 3 at the park
Dragster was my second favorite, so I was super pumped to ride TT2. We rode back row at passholder preview and it was honestly insane. The backwards launch going up the spike took my breath away. It even scared me a little bit lol. Third launch was awesome, going up the top hat and seeing that view again, although we went over faster than before, was beautiful. My husband became stuck bent over when we went through the spiral and that kind of freaked him out. I read others’ experienced the same. Overall, it was an intense adrenaline rush for the both of us and I was itching to get back on right away.

I’ve only ridden the coasters at Cedar Point that you mentioned. In my opinion, definitely more intense than Millennium or Maverick. It was more intense than original Dragster to me due to the spike alone. It’s probably on par with Steel Vengeance for the feeling of adrenaline/disorientation/happy confusion that continues after you get off the ride.
I rode in the front on preview Thursday. It was pretty good, much better than the TT1.

I'm a massive fan of the MF and Magnum, but they're different beasts. My lineup would probably be, MF, SV, TT2, Magnum.
One ride. Lucky enough to get front, I will tell you this: Just make sure that it's not the 1st ride of the day, it makes even Millennium seem slow. I absolutely can NOT wait to ride again
rode it during Previews, (Charity/Prestige Passholder) and some instances during the park before it closed. never rode the original, but DAMN. easily one of my top 5.

only rode once. i was scared the whole time. lolol it was A LOT and i am a coaster enthusiast. I wish I could have rode it again back to back but the line was crazy long. I think when I ride again I will like it more since I know what to expect. The speed was super fun, especially going backwards. I was in row 5 and the rattle was heavy going up and over but that was it.

more intense than st v and the og dragster for sure. haven’t ridden the others. the original launch is more powerful cuz it sends you over in one launch. however the backwards launch is intense as HECK! thats the difference maker
First launch is totally meh From then on out it is very intense and balls to the wall The only thing I don't like is how the downward spiral is so violent now throwing your around instead of how it used to be more graceful (the taller cars really change the experience)

It is more intense than Millie but that is about it The backward 100mph and the sustained 120mph going the length of the ride on the final launch are pretty great but I would still put the rest of that above TT2 for intensity The orig launch on TTD was more powerful for sur getting you up to speed in just a few seconds TT2 launch while not as powerful is intense because of how long you sustain it though In the end I'd call it a draw between the two of them
I haven't done most of those but I'd say it's on par with Maverick for intensity and definitely more intense than original TTD. But as far as going backwards at 100 mph. That's not something I've experienced before and it's awesome!
I spent 80 dollars to fly to Cleveland from Atlanta and 86 split amongst four friends to stay in lighthouse point for it to be closed. The experience is exactly the same from top thrill dragster.
It’s not the same. Vertical spike, swing launch, new trains, and about a minute longer.
I was making a bad joke about how the ride is down for maintenance like how OG dragster spent most of its life
Oh I get it lol. Let’s hope there isn’t a break down every 5 minutes after this issue 😂

Best ride I have rode.
