Millennium Force starting to show it's age??

Anyone who gets off Magnum complaining of roughness likely sat in the third row of a car. The ride the first two rows gives comparing to the third is night and day. Rides in the back row of a car can be horribly rough, but were the same two decades ago. And rides in the middle and front rows are fantastic, just as they have been since 1989.

That said, 1-3 is still my favorite seat in the house.

I find that the middle row of each car is the smoothest on any arrow coaster and I've heard it's because there is no wheel directly under your seat as there is in rows 1 and 3 of each car. With that said, 5-2 is my go to seat.

Valravn has this annoying vibration too, and it's only a few years old. Really rough after the big dive loop, or "immelman". I've never felt it on Millennium, but it's prob just a bad set of wheels. Gatekeeper used to do the same thing once. Now as for corkscrew, that ride is dead to me.

MF was smooth as ever this weekend, IMO. Always rode toward the back.

Honestly, I would have to say that it depends on the train. Yellow train(aka Past train) is kinda rough on the drop and first turn, but otherwise a smooth ride. Row number doesn't really make much of a difference in ride smoothness to me.

Rode Millennium Force yesterday morning and enjoyed my ride.

We rode at least once on each train and never noticed any difference.

4 rides this weekend, our first of 2019. 2 on red, 2 on yellow. All 4 in the back 3 cars. Felt smooth and fast to me. Very short lines Friday and Sunday, Saturday got over an hour.

Sorry, I hate that my second post is going to laugh at a comment made on this thread lol " Maybe the wheels weren't put on right"

Not a chance because if they weren't the coaster wouldn't run. Also I think the maintenance team knows better.

I don't wanna call out but come on lol

^Welcome to PBuzz. Sounds like you'll fit right in here. :)

Haha Thank you for the warm welcome!

Is it just me or has it been broken down a lot more than previous seasons? Today at around 1:30 I saw 3 maintenance guys in the motor building

We saw it running yesterday morning where we first got there. After lunch, we noticed it was down and was not operational any of the times we checked after that.

Sometimes they put the wheels on incorrectly, sometimes even backwards.

It hasn't ran once today.

Well sometimes the lift hill starts leaning towards the lake, so they have to jack up the foundation

God forbid that actually becomes another meme. So is Millennium also sinking?

Must be. It's definitely closer to the lake level than ever before!

Looks like MF is having some issues today. Yellow train has been stuck on the lift hill for close to 2 hours now. They are starting to evac people off.

Steel Vengeance is down for another day. They have boom lifts on perimeter road working on the second hill.

Their Twitter says delayed opening so that may mean it will open at some point today. I just asked the employees standing by the shop and they said they have no idea when it will open. Answer I pretty much expected. I saw the evac taking place on MF.
