What is the fastest roller coaster at Cedar Point?

Top Thrill 2, formerly known as Top Thrill Dragster, is an upcoming launched roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.



As of 2026, the fastest roller coaster at Cedar Point is Top Thrill 2, which reaches a blistering top speed of 120 mph (193 km/h). Reimagined from the original Top Thrill Dragster and opened in 2024, Top Thrill 2 is a "Triple-Launch Strata Coaster" that uses an LSM (Linear Synchronous Motor) system to propel riders forward, then backward, and then forward again at its maximum speed. The second-fastest coaster in the park is Millennium Force, which hits 93 mph. Top Thrill 2 features a 420-foot vertical tower and a second 420-foot "spike" tower for the backward launch. Because of its extreme speed and height, the ride has very strict safety requirements, including metal detection for all riders and a "no loose articles" policy in the queue. It remains the crown jewel of Cedar Point's "Roller Coaster Capital of the World" reputation, offering a high-energy motorsport experience that few coasters on Earth can match.
