Millennium Force
Millennium Force is
probably the most hyped roller coaster in the history of roller
coasters. It has this distinction for good reason. How often can you
go 93 mph down a 310 foot hill at an 80 degree angle? Answer: only
when you are at Cedar Point. Millennium Force is huge. There is no
other sensible way to describe it. Millennium Force features a cable
driven lift, which means that you reach the top of this hill in 20
seconds. It also means that there is no traditional "click" noise as
on other coasters. Trains are literally thrown over the top and into
the decent. The decent is so angled that it appears that the train is
actually going into the structure. It doesn't stop there. The train
travels up another 182 foot, highly
banked hill, and then into a tunnel. The train comes out of the tunnel
onto an island. On the island, several turns are performed at very
high speeds before hitting the "airtime" hill on the way into another
tunnel that exits the island. The train then shoots out over the queue
line, makes a sharp curve, then hits the brakes. Millennium Force is
out of this world. Added in 2000, Millennium Force has occupied the #1
spot on the world steel roller coaster poll for multiple years. Be sure to
ride Millennium Force. Millennium Force is intense. The ride is meant
to be intimidating, so be intimidated. You can let out your fear while
going down the hill. There is no going back when you reach that
point.
