NOT AN ACCIDENT! This is Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. What happened here is a roll-back, they did not get stuck. As stated later on, this is quite normal. Sometimes, the hydraulic launch does not build up enough pressure to propel the train over the hill. That is why there are brakes installed at both sides of the top hat. The train just gets launched again, and that's it. This ride has since been converted to one with a magnetic LSM swing launch, which is more reliable, so there should be no more unwanted roll-backs. Instead there is a planned one each time, as the train passes the launch track three times (2x forwards, 1x backwards) in order to build up enough momentum (there is a spike at the other end).

This is a rollback. It's not an "Terrifying Rollercoaster Incident" any more than a train stopping on a lift hill is.
@PreppyDiaries321
This is actually how the roller coaster was made. It’s supposed to go up halfway come back down backwards, gain more momentum, and then go over all the way.☺️
@connie7483
It's called a rollback..this use to happen in xcelarator at knotts berry farm in buena park California
@BANDPLAYEr
For those who don’t know: This coaster is called top thrill dragster. This coaster launches you 400ft in the air and sometimes the launch does not get the train going fast enough to crest the tall hill. The launch is also designed to stop the train on such occasions.
@byronoden2715
This IS NOT an accident. This ride does this for the first few launches until the ride is warmed up.
@roukeyaa.3522
The magnet accelerators are designed to swing the roller coaster more momentum, this is very normal its called an rollback if you didint know.
@freddiebermudez6639
That's what the roller coaster is supposed to do. You don't go to amusement parks that much, do you?
@KatieKatDuzArt
Rollbacks are completely normal and all launch coasters are made with mechanisms to slow down the train if it does rollback. It’s not too common on most rides but it’s definitely not a terrible accident ❤
@Violet-xh4kg
ngl i thought this was going to be the actual serious incident of a malfunction that threw a piece of the ride that hit a woman and maimed her to the point she died in the hospital
@superhoomanmia9524
This one actually was taken before the ride got its update, meaning it was not supposed to do that. The new TT2 is supposed to and has a long launch thing in the back for that reason. The old one, this one, does not. Info abt the new one if anyone cares: Its like silver, white, and blue tracks woth these race car type cars. It was shut down soon after opening because of troubles with the car wheels (which are still in progress of being fixed) and another problem in which the details they have not full said.
@stevenlimb9076
People live and pray for a roll back who ever is on this train are the lucky one's. It really gets me mad when someone who doesn't know what they are on about calls it an accident.
@WoahDudeYt
It’s called the Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point, Ohio. Great ride.
@kiancarter8802
For those who don’t know, this is called a ‘rollback’ it is when the roller coaster doesn’t have enough momentum to make it over the top hat ( a top hat is that type of roller coaster shown in the video). This is why before these top hats start, the brakes go down and once launched, the brakes rise back up. This is very normal so don’t panic if this happens to you LIKE THIS SO HE SEES IT AND PIN SO OTHERS SEE❤
@mickeymouse-eb2qv
This is not an accident and luckily as you said nobody was hurt
@Roblox_Player1911
Don't worry, Top Thrill Dragster's hydraulic launch has safety systems to prevent injuries on roll backs, but an accident did happen in august 2021 where a metal piece flew off the green train on the brake run, and it hit a person waiting in line, the coaster will reopen in 2024 as Top Thrill 2, with an LSM swing launch, and a reverse spike!
@selinmss
I can’t stop laughing with no reason-
@beowolf9480
this can happen on any launched coaster, it's known as a Rollback, and when this happens you just get launched again and go through the layout. This has even happened on Wicked at Lagoon and that has a vertical launch up the top hat
@funnyfish1982
He literally sounds like thanos saying "NOOOOOOOOO"
