10 years ago today Millennium Force was announced.

@Twisted, Oh yeah, people really struggled with: "Where's the beach!?" It's not like the gate was in plain sight right next to Windseeker.

Trust me on this, you WILL get a lot of seemingly obvious questions while working at the park, especially at the CPLE, it's just one of those things.

Also if TwistedWicker77 is who I think, they've spent a good chunk of time working right there on the beach, but from that point it's not immediately visible how to get onto the beach.

To those saying DT wasn’t a turd, we’re talking about a ride that they continued to sell 3D glasses for in the queue (knowing full well zero effects worked and the ride was pitch black). The amount of people I watched buy these glasses, and then get off the ride all confused was entertaining but sad to watch. That disaster (literally) puts DT at the top of my turd list.

Like What Time Is The 3 O’clock Parade?

You mean you cannot deny how trashy the ride was towards the end of its life. That's your opinion. Personally, I did not find it trashy at all, ever, and neither did many other people.

Sure, but most people found it trashy. That's what park officials care about. Not what you find good or bad, what the majority do.

Plenty of other rides have issues, TTD is a prime example. Does that make it trashy? Generally, people would say no, because they personally like the thrill of the ride. In reality, TTD has more maintenance problems than DT did, but the opinion is much different because people find TTD to be more fun.

Yes, and surely things like the fact that Dragster has consistently high ridership plays no part in this. Are you intentionally being this dense?

I was looking at a post from 2012 and someone asked what was up with the obsession of seeing the lake from every single location and I agree, what is up with that obsession? DT was torn down, opening up the view of your favorite lake, and that made you people happy... for a while. Then you had to find something else to consider an "eyesore": the stadium. Now that the stadium is gone, what's next? Wicked Twister probably, as that's not "aesthetically pleasing enough". When that's gone, maybe you'll look at the other side of the peninsula and call Millennium Force and its queue/station, along with those trees, eyesores for blocking the view of the lake from the path. And you want a wooden coaster on the beach? Ha! After 1 year of that you'll be like "Ugh, that wooden eyesore is blocking the view of the lake! Tear it down!!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH straw man x100000. Good Lord.

Many people loved DT. Sure, STR was bad and it was good it was removed. I was not aware of the issues with STR before the accident but now I am. Gatekeeper is a great ride, I'm not denying that at all. In fact, it's one of my favorites. But you act as if everyone shares your opinion about DT when that is not true at all. But whatever, you can keep pretending everyone hated or should hate DT, doesn't change anything.

Once again, the park could not care less about outlier opinions such as yours and the "many people" you speak of. Ridership and majority opinion clearly indicated that it was time for the ride to go.
