In a recent video posted to YouTube by Theme Park Predictions, Brandon outlines his reasons why it is a good thing Zamperla rather than Intamin has been chosen for the Top Thrill Dragster reimagining. 

It is suggested that if the Top Thrill Dragster project is cheaper with Zamperla rather than Intamin then this will give Cedar Fair a larger budget for more new roller coasters at both Cedar Point and other parks in the chain in the future.

Another positive point to consider is that if Zamperla is indeed successful with the reimagining of Top Thrill Dragster then they will become a major player as a roller coaster manufacturer, competing with the likes of Intamin, Rocky Mountain Construction and B&M. Competition is always a good thing for roller coaster fans, it means boundaries have to be pushed and manufacturers have to bring their "A game" when it comes to pitching new ideas and technologies.

With Zamperla at the wheel we are guaranteed a new experience with new trains and restraints. As already said, Zamperla's new Lightning Trains should be comfortable and due to its new construction, maintenance should be easier and there should be less issues and downtime because of it. 

Although some Top Thrill Dragster fans will inevitably still have their doubts, what is safe to say is that Zamperla will give everything to this project and as many have said, it is make or break. If done well, this will be the reimagining which will put Zamperla firmly on the map once and for all.

As we already said, it will be interesting to see if more and more Top Thrill Dragster fans get behind Zamperla as the project continues, more information is discovered and further plans are confirmed regarding the layout.
