Cedar Point plans new ride to replace former Top Thrill Dragster

SANDUSKY, Ohio - Cedar Point has plans to turn the former Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster into what the amusement park is calling “A new formula for thrills”
A video posted by Cedar Point this week shows the framework of what was once one of the tallest and fastest coasters in the U.S., sending riders up 420 feet with a 120-mile-per-hour launch.
The ride closed in August of 2021 when a piece of metal fell off and seriously injured a woman waiting in line for the ride. Top Thrill first launched in 2003 and officially retired last year with park officials promising a "reimagination" of the ride.
An update on Cedar Point’s website promises what the park says will be one-of-a-kind addition in 2024.
The video includes no narration providing additional details of what’s to come.
