What could make MF better?

I love MF. I'm not complaining or nothing, I just want to know what could make it better, and be realistic please...

Here we go again guys.....

Substance would be nice

Let the fighting begin!!

Welcome back Raptor riders-how was your flight??

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

Of course, if we used political terms in this argument, I'd be a Libretarian - I like 'em both. :-)

Raptor is awesome 'cause of all the twists, turns, flips, dips, etc... it leaves you disoriented and feelin' fine.

MF is just sheer speed, height, and intensity - flying along the ground right after the first turn at 92 MPH is just awesome.

So I guess it just depends on what you like better - the tight, twisting intricate, clausterphobic layout or the wide-open, sprawling, and really freakin' fast type ride.

Exactly. All you're going to get are responses to the tune of a "favorite" thread, basicly opinions, and Jo is right, there would be no substance to that.

All speed and so substance...WHATEVER!...as Godsmack would say.

At Coastermania, this thing was delivering the best rides on the face of this planet. Not many could disagree with that.

I don't know...about the only thing that could make that ride any better would be shorter lines :o)

I rode Raptor 8x Maggie 15x and MF 3x (4x?) during Coastermania and sorry but Raptor and Maggie delivered more substance than MF ever has.
MF wasn't any different during CM as any other day, that's not a flame, JMHO ;)

I rode Magnum 20x, and MF 6x. I was questioning my favorite coaster during my 15 rides power riding at ERT, but once I went over to MF, it was a no-brainer. The sheer speed and intensity was unlike anything I've ever felt...even on past night rides. The first tunnel was deafening. I just love Millie. It rocks.

As for Raptor, I didn't get up to the front of the part to ride it after ERT in the morning, but I did later in the season. The paint on the rails is a big improvement. If the paint on the rails effects Mantis as much as it does Raptor, I think that the trim will be grabing much harder next year. :)

To answer the original questions, I think MF would be better if the lift hill was slower.  I know that sounds strange, but a longer lift would give you more time to enjoy to view and build up the excitement.  Besides that, I think the rest of the ride is awesome. 
Better then Magnum or Raptor, who can say, they all offer something different.

To make Millennium Force better? How about roughly 1,100 fewer people waiting in line?

Millie and Maggie???????? PLEASE!!!

Are we at Cedar Point or an old ladies rest home built somewhere on some hicks farm out in BFE.

Just curious there Superstew, do you really have any respect for anybody ? It seems that every time you post something on this site you have to bash somebody for something that they have said, is it needed ? NOPE.

So in Lehman's terms Rideman, it's make the line one hour shorter. :)

Well, when Maggie was first created, so was The Simpsons...which is a hit with many coaster enthusiasts...anyway, Maggie on there doesn't look like an old lady does she? Didn't think so.

Could we please stay to the topic.

I think Millennium Force is just a wonderful design for delivering non-stop speed, which of course is what the ride is all about. It’s just about perfect, and is highly reridable due to its smoothness and moderate G force load. I love the ride. CP has a wonderful selection in Millennium Force, Magnum and Raptor. Each is excellent, and delivers its own type of ride. I can’t really choose a favorite among those three, but together they make a really nice combination.

You must have me mixed up with someone else. And to satisfy your curiosity, I've not bashed or disrespected anyone on this site. Those are just two horrible nicknames for two of the best coasters in the world........You can be a Millie and Maggie lover and I won't, fair enough?

In the future though, you shouldn't make accusations you can't support.

More theming in and on the tunnels.  Right now, you speed through drain pipes.  the theming on Frontier Trail doesn't have much effect because you can still see the shiny metal tubes sticking out!  

I think a few more bunny hills could help, but im happy with whats already there.

I think they want to keep the tunnels dark, and if they do that, theming would be pointless. On night rides, the first tunnel is just a really load, dark blur. :)

As for the outsides, you can only see part of the first tunnel on the outside. I don't think that putting more "mountain theming" on that would help the ride out any. Besides, I think that the way it's set up now defines the boundary of the midway and Frontier Trail.
