Cedar Point to Keep Top Thrill Dragster Closed in 2022

Cedar Point has confirmed that they will not open Top Thrill Dragster in 2022, updating their website to reflect the news (seen above). The ride was closed in mid-August 2021 after an accident took place that injured a guest in line. The news of the ride staying closed this season comes after a full report on the incident was released by the Ohio Department of Agriculture which did not find any fault in the park's maintenance of the ride.

Fans of the towering 420 foot tall ride, which is capable of launching trains at 120 miles per hour, will be understandably disappointed when they visit The Point this year. Cedar Point has not said any further detail on what their plan is for the ride. An obvious choice would be reconfiguring the ride's queue to keep guests further away from the ride's path while it is in operation.

However, we all know that Top Thrill Dragster has given the park its fair share of operational troubles through the years since it opened in 2003. It is a premier ride at the park no doubt, but it also feels legitimate to wonder if the coaster will be viable as a part of the park's line up come 2023.
