Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

Sorry to be so pragmatic, but I cannot believe they are not done with the trains yet.

Literally model them after the TTD Intamin trains that have bogeys which have been proven for 20+ years, install the magnetic fins for the retrofitted launch and be done with it.

The optimism from Tony is great, but the fact of the matter is nobody can confirm anything until those trains are on the track and running.

I'm not holding my breath.
I doubt it's that simple, designing something that does rapid 0-120-0 mph cycles in a short period of time is a unique challenge. That's a lot of energy to deal with and wear and tear as well from friction and g forces. I wouldn't be surprised if intamin have a bunch of patents around their trains and wheels that would prevent zamperla copying them and zamperla may have to work around their patents to find a solution.
