Millennium Force...During Coastermania ERT.

I thought this thing went fast last year, boy was I in for a surprise! This thing's wheels were roasting! It was as fast as I have ever felt it.
Going through the first tunnel was almost deafening. I also found out a new riding technique for myself. I get as much space and stuff between me and the lapbar--but in addition, my legs are just short enough for my feet to make it over the little bumps in front of them in the elevated seats. So, I stretch them out and lift them up during the ride. The airtime is 10x better riding this way.

Did anyone else notice the awesome ride Millie was dishing out?

Sort of like riding on a floorless train, I see. I'll have to see if I can do it next time, I'm 5'10" though.

Crady Crady!! CRADY CRADY!!

...I'm 5'9". I hope you'll be able to do it, because the only thing I was touching on the drop and 3rd hill was the ab-bar. It is such a rush!

COOL, That sounds real awesome, I'll try that on all of the rides.

I have to agree - it was THE fastest ride I've ever had on MF! Usually it's an awesome ride at night anyway, but it was really kickin' that night.

mf laps = 100! No More No Less!!

It was rock'n but, I think it is still hold'n back a little bit. Some warm weather would help it alot.

The fastest I timed it this year was about 1:33 (Lift to Front hitting first magnetic brake). That was when it was about 70 degree's and sunny (which was what, once this year)? The Cool Morning of Coastermania it was running about 1:37, while night ERT was around 1:35. Red Train I don't use because it messes everything up. It's usually slower while some days its up to speed. It also likes to rollback.

My times may be off because I start when I see the sled start moving form my position in the queue. I time maybe 2 or 3 cycles of trains and average them in my head. Poor system, I know :).
