I don't mean to be too skeptical, but they could be saying this just to keep season pass sales going. Is there really any reason to believe this will be ready for opening day? I am, indeed, skeptical.
Attraction Top Thrill 2
- Thread starter YachtyLogs
- Start date
I am the same with sirens curse. They say it should be ready by coastermania but I want to know how realistic it is.
New from Toledo TV station WTVG: "The 13 Action News I-Team has been checking in on the ride’s progress for months and Cedar Point’s spokesperson tells us that there is an inspection request set for the ride for approximately April 10."

I have faith in the fact that it’ll be opening with the park. Whether or not it’ll stay open is another question, but I’m personally optimistic.
The fact that TT2 is included on the ERT for Coastermania in June is another good sign that the park is confident in the fix, at least for right now.
I’m actually curious myself. The scale definitely isn’t always the most accurate (SteVe is noticeably taller than Magnum and about the same height as Millennium), but the strata nanos do definitely look tall in pictures.
Likely won’t be able to get to the park this year, hopefully they put TT2 in the online shop. Siren’s Curse is there, holding off on ordering until the park opens so I can try to save on shipping.

Update: LMFAO

Imagine driving however long to find out that TT2 won’t be open. I can’t imagine the absolute chaos if it’s closed
Cedar Point’s Top Thrill 2, set to open Saturday, awaits state certification
"Cedar Point spokesman Tony Clark said on Tuesday that the ride should be ready for opening day on Saturday.
“The inspection of Top Thrill 2 is a multi-day process (much like our other large rides and coasters),” he said. “We anticipate it will be licensed before the park opens.”
The coaster is one of the most highly anticipated of the 2025 amusement park season. A revamp of Top Thrill Dragster, the ride debuted last year but operated for just a week before it was shut down for the remainder of the season due to concerns about the new coaster trains.
The trains have been modified by European ride manufacturer Zamperla and the coaster has gone through testing in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, the state inspection process is under way, according to Levin. “While there isn’t a determined date of completion, once the inspection is finished a ride inspection report will be available,” he said."

The Strata nanos are pretty tall. Here's the Kingda Ka one next to El Toro (Toro's turnaround between the lift and the drop is about 3 inches in height). Sorry, not the best quality on the picture.
Wait, I just realized something. Didn't CP publically say last year that they would discontinue all TT2 merch?
