A sense of the 'Force...

Well, MF's lift looksto be around 200 ft. or so. Is anyone having that same gut feeling on how steep this is?! Whenever I looked at the drawings and the video, I was a little nervous. Now tat I see the lift going up and continuing track, that gut feeling seems to be getting higher like the MF lift going up...

Yea, I would have to say that beside the height the steepness is what I am also amaized by. The 45 degree lift hill and not to mention the 80 degree drop is going to be quite a rush!

All I know is that the drop is going to scare everything I have inside of me out!!! It looks truley awsome...but I am going to be nervous the entire way up that 310ft hill!

If only you could see the complete POV animation... ;)

As soon as I have it you'll see it, if it's not on the official site already by that time.

I cant tell whether I am feeling the "sense of the force", or if that is a lump in the back of my throat! GULP!

Easy for you to say - you didn't have to wait.

Give me a sense of comparison here. How steep is the lift hill on Magnum?

Magnum is about 30 degrees, I think. I always tell people to draw a right triangle off of Power Tower at 45 degrees and you get the idea. That's pretty darn steep.

More comparisons... the cross members of the lift support structure are roughly at 200 feet... the height of Magnum's hill. The third hill of MF (crossing the lagoon) is 182 feet tall, only 23 feet shorter than Magnum. (And did I mention that's the THIRD hill?)

Another sense of the 'Force here: Can you imagine the skyline of CP come May (or sooner)?! MF is over 300 ft. tall, you got the "king" Magnum, and Power Tower and The Space Spiral. Where else can you find all these 200ft.+ rides?!

I feel like I just have to run out and spread the word of MF, if you've ever in a conversation with somebody about Cedar Point, and you start talking about MF, they don't know what we're talking about. I bet only about 5% of the general public have heard of MF, if that much.

MF has a very high brand recognition rate in the Cleveland market. A surprisingly large number of people know all about it. The recognition rate I can assure you is much higher than 5%. How do I know this? Well, I just know this stuff.

Don't you think the POV will ruin the ride for us when it opens though?

Of course it will. Now that I've seen it, I don't want to ride it at all.

Well, I guess I won't be going to CP next year then...

Ok Jeff, that will be one less person we have to wait for in line. I don't mean in Cleveland I mean everywhere else, this is coming from Indiana
