We anticipate Top Thrill 2 will open for the 2025 season. Please follow our social media channels for ride updates.
Have a need for speed? Get revvved up in 2024 and buckle in as Cedar Point introduces 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 new, cloud-piercing vertical tower, giving you never-before-seen 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.
Join the CP Racing Team and conquer Top Thrill 2 – a new formula for thrills. Follow construction updates and the rise of Top Thrill 2 on X, Facebook and Instagram as we race to the summer of 2024!

An Exhilarating Race
Top Thrill 2’s track prowess is driven by state-of-the-art linear synchronous motor (LSM) technology, creating acceleration that’s seamless, smooth, quiet and FAST. First, shift into drive and launch from 0-74 MPH and climb toward the sky and experience a rollback as the train shifts into reverse and enters its second launch. Speeding to 101 MPH, you’ll accelerate backward and speed up a new, 90-degree, 420-foot-tall vertical tower and feel another moment of weightlessness before shifting into drive yet again, falling forward into the high-speed straightaway: a pedal-to-the-metal launch to 120 MPH, sending you to the top of the track, cresting the corner at 420 feet and right into a 270-degree spiral before crossing the finish line.
Reaching New Heights
Top Thrill 2 is the only vertical speedway in the world, featuring not one, but TWO, sky-dominating towers. The existing 420-foot tower will give every rider a guaranteed rollback – that unmatched moment when your racer doesn’t quite complete its lap and returns to the launch in reverse.
You’ll have commanding views of Cedar Point as you’re launched backward and straight up the all-new, 90-degree tower, looking straight down at Iron Dragon, Rougarou, Power Tower and even coaster icon Millennium Force before enjoying even more airtime. Top Thrill 2 is the ONLY dual-tower strata coaster in the world!
A World's First
Known for its innovation in roller coaster thrills, Cedar Point is the first amusement park in the world to reimagine and redefine the “strata coaster” – a roller coaster that eclipses the height of 400 feet. The unmatched original is reborn with its three signature launches, new LSM technology and new jaw-dropping vertical tower. Each of the three all-new, high-performance trains boasts a state-of-the-art chassis, milled from a single piece of aluminum and crafted with an aerodynamic fiberglass and carbon fiber body. With their greater seat comfort and design, Top Thrill 2’s trains will give you a true open-air riding experience as you take on a race unlike any other on Earth.
