Here’s How You Can Ride The New Top Thrill Before Cedar Point Opens In May

Cedar Point officially opens for the season on May 4, but there are a few opportunities to ride the new Top Thrill 2 before the park officially opens to the public.

Anticipation has been building ever since Cedar Point announced Top Thrill 2 in August, touting it as the world's tallest and fastest triple-launch strata coaster. According to information provided by Cedar Point, the two-minute ride will reach a speed of 120 miles per hour, towering 420 feet above the park.
