If i were to rate this coaster soley for the first drop, it would be a 10. But i think to be fair, i must include the rest of the track as well...there is still over 4000 of it afterall! So, after the first drop is where i get disappointed. The overall speed of the ride is fantastic. What this coaster lacks though, especially when compared to other Intamin hyper coasters is airtime. there are only 2, maybe 3 hills that you get a little air. But the airtime is really minimal when you compare it to Intamins Superman coasters. The Intamin overbanked turns are a fun element, but they are used too often on Millenium. The first one and last one are OK, but i wish they had done something a little different with the middle two...maybe they could have put a section like Supermans helix section at SFNE. At least that would have added another 1 or 2 airtime hills. So, I would rate the first drop a 10+, and the rest of the coaster a 6, so I chose 8 as an overall.
