1) Millennium is spelled with two 'n's
2) SOB was announced in late April/early May, months before MF.
3) Construction for both SOB and MF started way before the beginning of the '99 season. Both MF and SOB have probably been finalized since the close of last season.
4) Look at the number of parks building gigantic rides for this year (PKI, CP, SFMM). It's been a while since any of these parks added a major coaster. Why not do it in 2000?
5) When you get right down to it, SOB and MF are two totally different rides. Personally, I don't think they can be compared directly. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
