Cedar Point is partnering with Italian ride manufacturer Zamperla to create the new coaster, which will retain Top Thrill’s iconic 420-foot tall hill and add an equally high rear tower that riders will ascend backward.
Riders will first launch forward at 74 mph, traveling partway up the original hill, then rolling backward; then they’ll launch backward at 101 mph up the new rear tower set at a 90-degree angle; finally, they’ll launch forward again, at 120 mph, up and over the hill.
“It’s another one of a kind that could only be built at Cedar Point,” she said. “Our stamp on the industry is in roller coaster innovation, and today, that’s solidified as we redefine the strata coaster into a mega-thrill that our guests will come from far and wide to experience.”
