It's in the name: RIP!!!!!

It's in the post all: "ballast bag". To @Peter Immelmann's point, a more improvised water dummy than one with more body form/designed to fit within the restraints for regular testing. Something more akin to photo 1 than photo 2 below: Used balast bags a lot during my high rope climbing...

Oh dear - I fear they're going with the "Project" theme continuity they used for Orion, built on the trope that each "Project" (aka roller coaster or major thrill attraction) is some advanced science experiment. (photo from Orion queue below) This bit has a downside: Very few people will...

We're all bots mans, some of us just don't know! Good flag. Thank you for liking their post, again. :P

Overall wouldn't read too much into that, as it could be a bad mount point or simple on-ride jostle that isn't noticeable from the rider seat. (See the TTD POV below) Or at the very least... still smoother than Kingda Ka. :P

We have on-ride POV! It is just a completely different ride than TTD. It could be better, could be worse - it's going to be hard to call until we get a few passes on it. Color me optimistic on having more attraction versus a 16 second trick shot. On the whole I've found I generally prefer...

April Fool's. ;)

Really just powered coasters, especially Zamperla Mini Miner coasters (e.g. Back at the Banyard at Mall of America). I mean, still definitely, totally, counts.

I asked ChatGPT for a rough mock-up; looks like Cedar Point has a ways to go for that final render:

Easily adds at least 5 horsepower!

A lot of great photo updates packed into the latest construction blog update: https://www.cedarpoint.com/blog/tt2-construction/top-thrill-2-construction-updates Chief of which is signage photos, which are just mint. 🤌 We also have some better vantage of the train color designs, which I am...

I mean there is a very real tragedy that led to the "demise" of Top Thrill Dragster. It's a simple PR tactic to put all of your eggs into reframing, and "never again" mention the predecessor, especially to not risk any attention of negative optics to the end of TTD's life. And also it isn't as...

It's a real nailbiter.

As is tradition: we have a top hat stall!
