The 13th was another stellar evening, my third Millennium Mania event. The evening started with the MF special access gate open so one could walk through from the exit platform back to entrance, but that didn’t last long. Although there was a steadily increasing number of people riding MF all evening, the line was still reasonable unless you wanted the front seat. Elsewhere in the park, the Raptor and Magnum were delivering rerides most of the evening. I achieved 10 contiguous Magnum rides, a total of 19 Raptor rides, and I lost count on MF somewhere after 12.
I did observe a very interesting phenomenon on MF. Just after sunset, I boarded a train and ascended the lift hill. At the top, I noticed that I was high enough to see the sun over the horizon. As the train descended, the sun set again, only to rise again briefly as we crested the third hill. In effect, I saw the same beautiful sunset three times that evening. What a gift. Thank you Cedar Point!
