It's back and better than ever! Cedar Point announced what they are calling Top Thrill 2, and it's even more crazy than the original.

The new Top Thrill 2 will be the worlds largest and fastest triple launch strata roller-coaster shooting into the air 420 feet. That is 20 feet taller than the coaster that they ordinally built in 2003.

Check out the teaser for it!

“Top Thrill 2 will be the boldest and most advanced roller coaster Cedar Point has ever introduced. It’s another one-of-a-kind that could only be built at Cedar Point,” said Carrie Boldman, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point, in a statement. “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.”

Everything about this coaster in state of the art and new the the coaster game, from the "lighting" trains and launch system it is all game changing!

The new version of this coaster will hopefully be open by next year. Which will be a huge day for Cedar Point and all of it's fans.

People will launch from the station at 74 miles and hour going halfway up the first track, then riders will be launched backwards at 101 miles an hour. After that they will get launched back up the track at 120 miles and hour.

Honestly, to me it seems a little confusing but I am sure it will be one badass of a ride!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
