 Review of Millennium Force @ Cedar Point
1 Rating Posted by: bumprnugit on 7/31/2004 1:32:00 AM
I first rode MF its debut season. I happened to be in Cleveland for an extended work-related trip, and jumped at the chance to get to Cedar Point during the weekend with some less-than-coaster-saavy co-workers. We wound up at the front of the line for the next train, and I was torn. front or back seat? I just knew the back seat going down that first incredible drop would be gut-wrenching, but since there werent a lot of big drops designed in the ride after the initial plunge, I headed the group toward the front. air-time would rule this day. And boy, did it ever!
I committed myself to riding the full circuit hands-up and did, but with considerable fright, as I could feel my glasses start to float off my face. The negative-Gs, especially going into the tunnel the second time, are extreme. The speed is incredible, intense and constant, right up to the brake run. This ride easily earns a ten, but I personally rank SRoS @ SFNE a better ride due to its better use of layout with more hills and more airtime, and a few twister elements sprinkled in. That aside, MF is a fantastic ride, and I can only hope to get a ride in the last car to compare it to the front, and confirm my first front seat ride choice was correct. As a side note, my three co-workers found religion pretty quick, and still talk about this great ride.
********************************************** Rating Update: Score changed from 10 to 8 **********************************************
I rode MF multiple times in the front and back late August of 2008, and although the first drop was still great, the rest of the ride, although speedy, left me underwhelmed. I felt like I was just being speeded along to the station. After all, it is the journey, not the destination that matters. And I felt this journey was nowhere near the experience that SFNEs S:RoS offers.

The front seat on this ride is the best way to experience this ride. I prefer it everytime now.
