SO INTIMIDATING!! MF is one of a kind. There is nothing like it on Earth. It is so good, theres nothing I can say that is bad about it. There are some things that could have been improved on but absolutely NOTHING bad. I can tell you, its very rare you see a person come off of it not smiling, laughing or talking about their experience (and the people that werent doing any of the above, me and my friends just thought there had to be something wrong with them). But enough about that...the ride is what really matters. The station, for one, is very futuristic and has some unique touches. For example, the red light above the train. It lights up and goes from one side to the other and really gets you pumped just looking at it. They really are cool. The lift hill...what can I say...mind-blowing. It actually scared me. We were heading upward so fast and you feel SO vulnerable. You can either look to the left and see the water of Sandusky Bay, which just makes you feel even more vulnerable or you can look to the right and see all of CP getting smaller and smaller. Either way, it was as if I was being carried up to my doom. All I could do is sit back , wait for the crest and express how nervous I was to my friends. Then when you are about to go over the 310 ft. hill, you dont just glide over it...you get PULLED over it and down the hill. It really feels like you are plunging towards oblivion. Its the greatest sensation of what I call the "heart feeling" that Ive ever experienced. Ever. Not even TTD could match (the reason why, I dont know). A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The 1st banked turn was pretty good...nothing too special unless you were on the inside of the turn. If so, it really does feel like you will fall out. The tunnel following was a great touch and the rush into darkness and back out really makes you recognize how fast you are going. The 2nd hill had some nice floater air, very similar to the 2nd hill on another one of my favorite, S:ROS (SFDL) and the two banked turns on the island ended up being a whole lot more exciting than the 1st one. The 3rd hill propels you out of your seat into sudden ejector air which is SO satifying. One of the best examples of it that exists on Earth is on this hill. The ending afterward sustains the excitement all the way to the brakes. CPs crown jewel is MF (Sorry, Top Thrill Dragster is not it...) and they really have something great. It deserves all the praise it has gotten and I will now try to convince others that dont give this ride at the Minimum...Bottom Barrel...an 8, as others on this site do, that there is something wrong with that. It really is one of the greatest thrills on the planet. Still, I think the Incredible Hulk Coaster is a little bit more worthy of the #1 spot, but thats just me. MF is a close 2nd though. Its still an excellent coaster, though, that deserves every bit of recognition it has gotten and almost everyone that has experienced it can agree with me. I adore Millennium Force.

I agree with you a hundred percent magnum man, this ride is my favorite and its speed just turns me on along with that drop.

It really is one of the best thrills on Earth. It is also an amazing piece of engineering. The lift hill, for one, is a technological acheivement in itself and just makes the ride...and the drop...so much better.
