Dented Millennium Force Cars

I was just at Cedar Point for Holloweekend on the 6th and 7th, this was my third trip this year. Does anyone know what happened to the Forces cars, if I remember right the blue and red train had dents on the first cars. By the way it seemed to run a little rougher in the cold.

I saw 2 dents/scrape on one of the cars, forgot what color. It was dented on the right side.

Maybe it hit a bird.

The dents are inevitable with a coaster that goes 92 mph gang...It just may hit something...anyone ever heard of Fabio and his Bird Friend..:)

remember these trains are stepped on and moved with a crane occasionally...etc etc etc..Anything could happen!!

I'm not talking little dings, it looks like the cars collided with something hard, like 2 trains colliding or something.

yeah your right now that i think about it!! I saw some employees pushing around an mf car in the parking lot in august and one of them accidently hit a street sweeper cleaning the lot!! LOL :)

When the trains collide, the nosepieces shouldn't touch anything.......

Personally, I've never understood how fixed-park ride tubs get all beat up, but it does happen. All it takes is a person stepping in the wrong place, a shop gorilla with a 15-pound sledge hammer, an improperly placed hoisting sling off a crane following a roll-back, or an unsuccessful attempt to eliminate that cheap rattling noise.....

He was on Apollos Chariot. I kind a feel sorry for him, did you see how bad his face was messed up?

I believe that most are from run-ins from birds. Plain and simple.....Birds!!!

I remember back in June, that the yellow train had a gash in either the 7th, 8th, or 9th car, and it looked like it had been intentionally cut open by a grinder. I don't know what caused it, but someone could get cut on it. I don't know if they fixed it or not.

Yeah, he had bird guts n' stuff on his face.
That had to of hurt!!:)

I saw alot of gashes on the front car of all the trains they were covered with silver stuff.

That silver stuff is the trains. Without the logos, the train noses are entirely stainless steel. That's why I was pissed that they junked it up with the ugly logo.
