Testing has begun

Just saw a video uploaded to Coaster Crews FB page that shows testing on the train that is on the track. The video is pretty grainy, but you can clearly see the train launch backwards up the spike almost the whole way up, then it makes it about 90% up the original top hat before rolling back. Impressive!

Link to Twitter (or X or Q or whatever you want to call it) of the testing video!

Well, I will gladly eat my words. I'm astonished that they are doing high speed testing.

I can't believe it either. They are really taking advantage of the good weather.

Has a Cedar Point coaster ever been powered up and cycled at this stage of an offseason?

I think I saw that on facebook. But that looks AWESOME. Imagine the night rides on that, or even the low cloud cover rides!

Well. I guessed wrong. I would have thought it would take at least a week of testing before the train made it over the 200' mark. Well done to everyone building and testing the ride.

I gotta say, Zamperla has impressed so far.

Currently, I have to agree. I thought they would stick to small yet important tests. This almost full-circuit test is incredibly impressive. They want to make sure opening day goes well!

It's crazy to see how fast it ascends the back spike. And its not even going at full speed. This ride is going to be crazy.

I cannot wait to ride this!

According to many videos on Youtube, Top Thrill 2 is going to be a snoozefest. The launches will feel so slow since the track is so long, and you only speed up a few mph with each pass. Many, many people will be sitting this one out. People are saying.

They’re not going to sit it out. What coaster enthusiast is going to not ride this. They just wanna complain about something.

Fewer people in line in front of me. Sounds good to me.

Exactly what I was thinking!

A lot of people are saying....

Just read Plagues post in Trumps voice and now it makes a lot more sense.

"He came to me with tears in his eyes. Big strong enthusiast......some say the biggest and strongest. He says to me, why are the launches SOO slow? And I said to him. You know what, I couldn't agree more. We need faster launches in this country. Frankly, it's a disaster. We use to have the fastest. Why? Who knows. But I promise you, on day one, I'll fix these woke launches and make them fast again. And Intamin will pay for it.......THAT I can promise."

Dead lol
