New Construction Pictures
I have to agree with bryan and natas. I am starting to think that the first hill may be the least of our worries. :)

Hometown parks: Kennywood, Cedar Point!
105 days until the real "Millennium
Good pictures. This coaster is looking more and more promising. I was going to ride it no matter what, but if it were JUST speed I wasn't sure I was going to like it as much as Magnum or even, say, Jackrabbit at Kennywood (I'm a big fan of major airtime pops :) )
I was already going to reserve final judgement until I've ridden it, but seeing that monster going up...wow. Now I can't wait.
Looking forward to May!

Yea, I'm a speed freak myself, but MF is going to be so much more! I think we will all find something to love about this one!

I don't know. To be honest, I'm feeling like I could be disappointed in May. I'm sure it'll be a cool ride and all but i'm not sure it'll be as we're all playing it up to be. I'm guessing it'll be fun, and then I'll be like , ok let's go ride Magnum. Also, from the layout, it looks kinda short. However, I am predicting that the most fun part will come from the part right after the first turn where the trains come close to the ground.

One can't truly appreciate the scope of this ride unless you've seen it in real life.

It does have less hills than Magnum, or say...even the Blue Streak. Millennium Force is definately a speed coaster, although I hope there's something for everyone...(the press release promises airtime)
i saw the thing for myself in December before the track was on the lift, I could see the lift structure as soon as I turned on Cleveland Road.

Yeah but height is height. That's like trying to convince me that Superman :The Escape at SFMM is a good ride because it goes 100mph and climbs to 4 hundred something feet. It's not. It's a terrible ride. There's more that height and speed that makes a good ride. I'm sure MF will be high. I'm also sure it'll be fast, a blast, and a thrill, but I'm not as sure it'll be better ride than the Magnum. Or even Raptor. Little things that go beyond the specs contribute to the awesomeness of Magnum and Raptor to me. (Like the way you feel like you're on top of the world when you pull out of the last tunnel and take your well deserved "victory stroll" around the plaza as the train of satisfied riders applauds. Or even the first time you rode Raptor and probably couldn't remember a time when you felt more disoriented) In other words, it's got the height and the speed, but does it have the originality and feel to make it an awesome ride? I think we'll have to wait til May for that one. :)
it is something about certain rides that make you keep coming back for more. like they have a personality or a life/mind of their own. like you are riding something that is more than just a machine...i know what you are saying, RockDown. that's why i ALWAYS ride SFGAm's Demon. it's got ATTITUDE. like Maggy does. or Raptor does. Raptor's got attitude till next Sunday as far as i'm concerned. Mean Streak has it, but it's chained like a mad dog. MF might have MORE ATTITUDE than the others and THAT, in my mind, is what will make it a good ride. not just the drop, or the speed, or the turns...it's how much ATTITUDE, NASTY, MEAN, BIG BAD ATTITUDE it's got...
