Top Thrill Dragster 2022 Status

It's fake. It was posted on ParkFans earlier but the person that posted it later backtracked on it being real. He posted it then said "Update I might have gotten tricked by one of my friends on discord. if it’s fake I’m sorry I’m trying to prove it rn" followed by "Yep we got pranked I think"

Yeah, I’m not sold at all with the authenticity of that ride description. It sounds odd and confusing, not to mention the top speed makes no sense. To add, there is no way that Tony would have just blurted out the name of the new ride in a tweet like he did last week.

Someone else has pointed out none of the other coasters name headers are all caps like that screen shot:

Good evening. Long-time fan, infrequent poster. Thanks for taking my call.

It's fake (oh, the internet...). The shipping labels are from Wild Mouse. Rougarou's colors are a coincidence, not a PointBuzz tribute (sorry, Jeff). Thank you, sit tight, fellas, and goodnight!

Intamin confirmed!

@Tony's Pointbuzz account:

No better time to pop back in, amirite??

He said sit tight fellas! Confirmed… sit down roller coaster. Just glad this ain’t a stand up

Wait?! Is that really Tony or am I being punked?!

Tis real

Well then that remark about Zamperla shipping labels being left over from Wild Mouse throws a huge wrench in a lot of the speculation and “confirmations” based around that.

Intamin hopefuls...

I mean I still am not confident with the info we have to pick a side. Just because these labels aren’t for TTD2.0 doesn’t mean it isn’t. But it surely kills the last “confirmation” it is Zamperla for sure. Track seems to be retrofit of the old and the labels are out the window. Seems manufacturer is back to being completely up in the air.

Welp, now the real mystery has been solved.

OnPointTony:

sit tight, fellas

Couldn't have said it better myself! 😉

No need to apologize. I didn't even realize it until it was mentioned here last week.

Tony can you answer one question about the new ride?

Will it go fast?

I was today years old when I found out THE Tony Clark has a PointBuzz account. That's the coolest thing since Air Conditioning!

Well. Back on the Zamperla train! Someone on Reddit pointed out that public records show 3 shipments in the last month to Cedar Point. All leaving from a port with a carrier that is known as Zamperla’s freight partner.

Darn.. I was wrong for years. Thanks for the confirmation. I figured I'd never get an answer to that. I knew we'd find out about the TTD2.0. But I thought that Rougarou question would go unanswered for life. Thanks, Tony!
