Some argue that technically the start of any millennia begins with the year 1, 1001, 2001 etc. More here – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium

I was just nitpicking. Obviously, I know that we all celebrated the new millennium in 2000.

I thought that you said: "Never mind the fact that the real start of the millennium was 2001." What did you mean by that?

I liked this ride more than Joel did. We are in agreement that the first drop is phenomenal but in disagreement as to the rest of the ride. I can't claim that it offers extreme airtime but the overbanked turns are wonderful, the tunnels are a lot of fun and the overall ride experience is excellent. In comparison to Intimidator 305, which is 2nd on my list of top steel coasters after MF, I would have to say that while Intimidator may offer more airtime, MF offers more diversity and scenery. The view of Lake Erie to your left as you go up the lift hill is incomparable whereas Intimidator is more or less out in the middle of a field. Also, after the 1st drop on Intimidator, you are more or less going back and forth over a twisted rack; on Millennium you get more variety. Of course the ride operators have nothing to do with the quality of a coaster but I thought I'd mention that while I found those on Intimidator to be very matter of act, those on MF are quite entertaining. The young lady who said "Millennium Force, of course, goodbye yellow train – toodles, I'll miss you" set the tone for a good ride.

The Magnum could have better restraints, and it is rough. I totally love the MF and think it is the best. After that, Top Thrill Dragster

I prefer the 5 degree steeper I 305 drop, instead of Millie's extra 5' height. You can't tell that it is 5' lower, But you sure can sense that it is steeper. That first turn is not as bad as people make it out to be. [I never rode her pre trimmed or trimmed] I never have an issue on that turn, except a little dizziness…After finally riding Millie, I do understand her rank. She is so smooth and sweet, I think her re-ridablity counts for a lot. My favorite part is in the back of the train how you get wrenched down the hammer-heads. I would call Millie's air very nice and smooth. I305 does have better air now though after the fix… It's air is much stronger than Millie's…

But on I305 some people black out after first drop. Maybe the 5 extra degrees might be better for you but Millennium Force is Ranked #1 coaster in the world now including 2012 for 3 straight years. Millennium is longer and faster and taller. That is why millennium force is better. Also millennium force. Is amazing airtime.

I recommend clear glasses (with a strap) for MF and TTD …

I also agree with a "9" for MF, it's a great ride, fantastic first drop but some more airtime on the hills would have been appreciated. I liked I-305 more.

Hey CP guy, Have you ridden both? I wonder, or maybe you rode i305 trimmed…
I agree the over banked turns are incredible, and one of my new top coaster moments for sure. I would never say Mille was disappointing at all. I would say she has nice floater air, and the tunnels are great! BUT, I305 has a better drop, much stronger air and those incredible Maverick style twisty turns but at around 90mph. The 5 degree steeper 1st drop= way better air and intensity.
I305 is much more intense. I actually enjoyed that fact a bit because I could ride Mille 10 times in one day. I have never ridden I305 more than 4 times in one day. I305 is a bit too strong for that many rides… That says it all in my book! Also because of this fact you will never wait long [15 minutes on average] for I305 midweek. {Thats with only one train running!} Mille had a steady 1 to 2 hour wait all 3 midweek days I was there. [3 trains running] This caused me to have to pay for the stupid Fastlane for my first time. Also Mille in the dark = Bugs for dinner. I305 in the dark it is pitch black for 85% of the ride, so no bugs. The first drop, all 3 twists, and for both big airtime hills you are completely blind. It is absolutely crazy!
Please don't think I'm hating on CP… Millie is my new #4…
Maverick= #1, Eltoro=#2, I305=#3, Millie=#4

What? Millennium Force is amazing airtime and the best coaster in the world. It beats I305 easy. This ride is not disappointing. The over banked turns are amazing.
