In my opinion Millenium Force is the coaster that I am looking forward to the most out of the new coasters for 2000. Cedar Point wanted to make the ultimate rollercoaster for 2000 and they couldn't of done any better than this. Millenium Force's stagering stats puts it in a class of it's own. Millenium Force will be the first and only coaster right now to bear the name "Giga-Coaster."
Many new features that have never been used on any coaster have been put into the "Giga-Coaster." These include an elevator cable lift system and stadium seating on the trains.
The new stadium seating for Millenium Force's train's.
Millenium Force will reach a height of 310 feet and then it will plunge 300 feet to the earth at an 80 degree angle while going 92 mph. There will be two tunnels and a 122 degree banked turn,(the steepest in the world).
Now here are the unbelievable world records that Millenium Force will break: 1. Tallest Coaster (310 ft.) 2. Fastest coaster (92 mph) 3. Longest Drop (300 ft.) 4. First coaster to break 300 foot mark. 5. Steepest non-inversion banked turn on a coaster (122 degrees) 6. First coaster to use an elevator lift cable system. (Now records that Millenium Force will break for Cedar Point.) 7. Most rollercoasters in the world (14) 8. Most rides in the world (68) 9. Most rollercoaster track in the world (44,013 ft.) 10. Most steel coasters in the world (12).
This chart show's Millenium Force's height compared to the Statue of Liberty, Power Tower, and the Capital Building.
