This is it folks. The number one coaster in the world, well at least it was until I just read Amusement Today posted Superman: Ride of Steel as the number one ride in the world  But not to fear, Millenium Force is still the queen of the Giga-Coaster world. The que legths can be a bit long for the ride but not to fear. The wait is well worth it as it is even for Top Thrill Dragster. The theming is great and I still can remember that techo music when you enter into the loading platform. I find myself replaying the music over and over again trying to really remember all that the ride was about. But I can just look at my on-ride photo and see my expression which brings it all back to memory. The tallest coaster I had ever been on before this ride was Valleyfairs Wild Thing. A few buddys and I packed up our items and left Minnesota on a 10 hour drive to simply ride this thing. Not only Millenium Force but it was the main reason and it did not disappoint at all. This ride is simply breathtaking and needs to be ridin at night. The first time I was in Cedar Point my friend and I went in the que line at about 8 at night and didnt get on till about 10. Let me tell you the wait is easily worth it. The darkness all around you when going up the tow line is horrific. All you can see is a huge body of water to your left and that was where my eyes were fixated. And then all you know is that you are up 310 ft and about to accelerate to 92 mph in a few seconds. And the best part of that is you can barely and I mean BARELY see th track because of its dark blue color so basically it seems as if you are falling off of the track and plummeting towards your death! The might be a little far fetched but thats what it really can feel like. The whole ride is awesome especially the first drop. The tunnels are sweet and the air time is good on both of the large humps. Blasting by the que line with a minor abrupt hump is the final ingredient to a truly perfection ride. I rode this goddess about 5 times while I was there for 4 days. I really wish I would have ridden the thing more and the only reason I did not is because I wanted to get all the other rides in. I miss this ride so much and it does have a very large place in my heart. I also love the four extremely banked 122* turns. Go Cedar Point and keep bringing in the best coasters on the planet.
