Millenium Force Idea

What I thought would be cool would be to make Millenium Force a giga out and back coaster. Kind of like a large shivering timbers with steel. I cant even imagine the airtime a giga out and back ride would have! It would be cool to have blue streak be built up a little with a taller first drop and more hills. Then Cedar Point would have the best out and back trio, Millenium Force, Magnum, and Blue Streak. Even though they would most likely not have the space for it, it would be different.

Uh, they have a out-n-back giga. Steel Dragon 2000. Its in Japan though.

Yeah Only SD2K has only 3 large hills (I guess) The design is just another copy of Magnum with a fancy turn around (like most morgan coasters)

You forgot one MAJOR detail-Extremely ugly trains!

Trim brakes-a necessity???

Millennium Force is a out-and-back roller coaster

Kind of out and back. Blue Streak is a true out and back, with the tracks parallel to each other. IMHO, MF is a free form coaster.

Sure hope this doesn't turn into another "Is it an out-and-back or is it a twister/etc." debate, a la (now closed) "If you could choose new coaster" in the General Forum...

Nah, I'm much more passionate about wooden coasters than steel ones.

MF's got a strange layout, it goes out, around, out again, around again, then back sorta...

Steel coasters don't lend themselves to the same easy grouping that wooden coasters have. I hear SD2K is a true out-and-back over 300 feet though. Sounds exciting, wish I could get on it. :oI

SD2k is an out and back with an extended 'flipped double-helix' turnaround.

I'm glad MF is not an out-and-back. It's makes Magnum stand out more and brings more identity to both coasters. But a steel giga the likes of Shivering Timbers sounds very interesting.
