Shortest wait times

Its funny you say that Spartan I had a similar ride like that as well. It was one of the Friday's of Halloweekends. Sammy and I ran back to MF and we were the only ones in the station and they sent the train with only us in it. It was hands down the best and slowest ride I've ever had on MF. We made it over the first hill going over to the island with no problem but I was a little scared about a rollback going back off the island and into the last banked turn. The train just crept back. The other awesome thing about the ride was that they had all of the fog machines turned on, and the fog just hung over the park, and the sun was shinning bright and it was truely a sureal experience.


I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

The shortest I ever waited was a walk on after it was down for weather. I just happened to be walking by at the right time.

I have to bring up Millennium Mania again. Man, those were fun times! I remember in '01 riding Millennium 64 times in the 6 hours the event was held that day. It was definately the ability of being able to walk right from unload back into load that allowed that many rides.

And who can forget the next week recieving unlimited free VertiGo rides in the 6 hours because Millennium was down. As said above, that event is probably one of my most missed memories of Cedar Point. Ah, good times!

The shortest wait time I had was back in 2004. Millennium Force was down all day, the rain was falling at times and finally around 10:15pm that night, they opened it. I ran straight from Top Thrill Dragster after riding it 4 times for the day and rode Millennium Force like 5 times. A lot of people didn't really realize it was open so the line was like a 10 minute wait each time. The only time I get that now is if I get there early before the day starts. I always recommend go to Millennium Force first if you want to avoid waits during the day.

That's sweet man! Most i've riddrn in one day was 7. That's because in Sept, Natioal Geographic was shooting a show during the week and needed riders. Being a CP'er off during the week, i had nothing better to do!

Shortest wait I have had on MF would have to be morning test rides.... as far as crawling over the hills... There were test rides on colder mornings where I thought I might be stranded mid course... All by myself.

There really is nothing better than riding a coaster by yourself... Some may disagree but its a wonderful thing to drop 300 feet and just listen... no screams, just the wind whipping past you.

I had the same thing happen to me once on Magnum, only not as an employee. I got in line for Maggie right after a storm and by the time i got up to the station the airgates were closing, well I got through and got front row, but the rest of the crowd didnt make it in time. So as a guest, I got to ride Magnum front row solo... Trimless and all... What a treat... The station applauded when I came back, and the Ride Host actually said "Welcome Back Rider, how was your ride"... classic...

7 times on wicked twister with less then a 5 to 7 min wait each time.was during the laser show in 04.

The best time to have ridden Millennium Force was NAPHA in 2003 or Millennium Mania in 2000.

One of the most disgusting but funniest memories I have of Millennium Mania was back in its first year...I was at the park with I think it was Dan and a Local buddy and while we were in a power riding mode..You know..No line and ride after ride after ride! There was a guy who was doing the same..After about our 15th or 20th straight, he yakked while walking down the ramp and got right back in line...Didn't even stop to sit for a minute

Funniest thing I ever saw..Only a enthusiast eh..haha


Sparty On!

Coaster Junkies may have their quirks, but they're fun as all heck to be around! I'm not quite obsessed, YET...

Hey! I'm new so Hi! My quickest time on MF was when we got in the line and waited 45 mins. It was almost closing time, so they were going to close the line. right after we got off, the operator told me he'd let us back on up the exit ramp since the line was past it and no-one would really see us. We got on three times in about 15 minutes.
