MF 4 trains?

No difference.

MF stacks with 3 trains. 4 would not help, and possibly make things worse. With 4, there would always be one stuck on the mid-course block section(if there was one).


Coaster Count: 147

There are 4 block sections. If there were only 3, then everything would have to be constantly moving. Take the number of trains, and add one and thats how many blocks you MUST have to keep a roller coaster safely running. Since Millennium Force has 4 Block Stations [Loading, Unloading, Breaking, and Track], there can only be 3 trains. There never was a 4th train, and there never will be.

Hope that answers your question, and sorry for all the people out there that think that everyone knows everyhing.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.


We'll miss you MrScott and Pete

Yes millennium does have a block system so a train should not be able to leave the station till the previous train clears the second tunnel but....... it is possible for the blocking system to fail. everyone remember the two trains on the raptor lift last year. so yea it happens.

Most of the time they wait until the previous train comes back and then the next train dispatches. Millennium Force would have to have another airtime hill with Mid-course brake-run somewhere along the route to enable 4 trains. I do think they should have a 4th train in case they have to take one off for maintnance.

The pictures of MF with two trains on the track can be found here. The fake part his both trains are the same color.

Will Jeff or Walt please close this topic! Thanks.

Oh chill out. They're just having fun, and the topic was started because someoen didn't know. Leave them alone. Next time you say something stupid to me, i'll hound the freak out of you.

After the ride has been around for 5 years people should know there has never been 4 trains, never been a green train, and as a member in good standing on this board I think I have the right to ask for this to be closed! If I ever say something stupid to you, oh... wait a second, I wouldn't! I do not say stupid things on this board! I have common sense! Which a lot of people on this board do not! So hound away, but be advised on what you are talking about, because if not you will not like the end result! Have a nice day!

You know Tony its funny how you comment on things you have no idea about. I have been on this site since october 2004 and have been a CP fan since 2003. If I dont know a few things about a ride oh well. But there is no reason for you to make a stupid comment like that. Do you get enjoyment out of putting people down? Next time you ask a question on these forums ill be sure to tell you, you should of know what that meant. (Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was talking about what you know about me and how you think I should know something that you know.)

I have no idea about Millennium? That is a "stupid comment"! Oct 2004 was soooo long ago?!? I have been on this site before 2000 and Millennium ever came around! I have been a C.P. fan all my life as I grew up around C.P.! So I know what I am talking about, if you don't then maybe you should not comment on this topic! I do not post on things I have no knowledge of! Which is very little. More of, I do not post on things I do know about, because it is not for you to know. So on that note, I will let you alone with your "stupid comments", great knowledge of the Point, and your long history on this site, so you can think about things before you respond with your next "stupid comment"! I am sure it is comming!
