What time of year were your 8 trips? My 4 CP trips have been opening week, early June, and late August/early September(twice). The longest I've ever waited for Millennium Force was an hour, and each trip we've been able to get in 2 or 3 MF rides each day. Have you checked out a POV video of Millennium? That will show you exactly what the course of the ride is. It seems that the people who don't enjoy Millennium Force are expecting more airtime. I don't know. After viewing the POV literally HUNDREDS of times before my first ride, I knew exactly what to expect of the ride. I just wasn't ready for the exhilaration (sp?) of the speed and the smoothness of the ride. It IMMEDIATELY became my favorite coaster. My 53-year-old mother loves it too. So, I'd have to say that if I went on a busy day I'd be willing to wait 2 to 3 hours for the best coaster on the planet as well.
The wait is part of riding MF and at a park as large as cedar point. Opening day and early september i find it less crowded because i assume it is not peak vacationer season and public schools being in session. You wont be disappointed after a 2 hour wait even though it would be nice for it to be shorter.
TTD launch is the ultimate rush
Millennium Force is the greatest coaster in the world
Millennium Force was the first ride I rode on my first trip to the Point, and my friends and I waited about an hour and 20 minutes, and I have to tell you, it was VERY much worth waiting that long in the hot July sun. I loved the ride and it is now my favorite roller coaster I've ever been on.
Definately wait in the line! Its totally worth every second of that coaster!
