Great article!

What I'm most excited about with regard to TT2 isn't the ride itself, it's that we have new major player who can competently deliver marquee, record-setting rides.

And it's a low bar to set, but if this ride is more reliable than Intamin's typical dreck, it'll be exciting to see what else Zamperla can pull off.

Surely they can improve after 21 years of innovation & technology lmao.

The way the TT2 project seems to be going, they can improve on anything Intamin has delivered in the last decade. But again, very low bar to clear.

I'm on the same page. Excited to see where this could lead for Zamperla.

It will be interesting to see if they are involved in Project 305 at Kings Dominion.

I'm curious as to your line of thinking.  Project 305 is generally reliable, so I don't think it needs a reinvention.  I assumed it would be a name/ theme change with new paint, etc.

This is pretty cool:

Just watched it. I hope the jittery-ness doesn't mess with the overall experience or maybe that's something that won't be as noticeable with a full load.

Meh, it had a bit of a vibration as TTD even when it was new.  I'm not that concerned about it.  Kingda Ka's vibration is worse.  

EDIT:  Here is a POV when it was new, vibration and all.
