It is the Best Steel coaster in the world. Love this ride. - Will Chilcote

Best ride ever. The ride is extremly fast but as smooth as silk. The three airtime hills offer great floater air which is really exciting when traveling at 93 mph. The first drop is amazing, and the ride never slows up from there. The entire ride is fast, smooth, and thrilling. The best ride on the entire planet. Perfection. - Chris Gottschalk

This is currently my favorite ride. That first drop is just awesome. I laughed through the whole ride the last time I rode it. - Anthony O'Neal

One of the best rides ever! It is not overrated at all! Not sure what rides you have been on, but MF is amazing! It deserves a perfect 10! - Adam Clinard

Millennium is a great coaster and ranks within my Top 5. While I love the first drop and the speed and smootheness of the coaster, I feel it lacks a little in the sense that it doesn't really do much else for me. So while it is a fun, thrilling, and smooth ride, it definitely isn't tops for me. For the best ride experience, try out the very last seat. - Erin B

This has to be the smoothest ride at Cedar Point the break run is not bad at all. Tons of air time. Best seats are in the front car or the last car! Well worth any wait! - Alex Gamso

Standing more than 300ft tall, it's no wonder Millennium Force has become the main highlight of the park. With top speed of more than 90 mph, the coaster is able to finish its cycle in just under 2 minutes. It's one of the few examples of coasters that live up to its title; Millennium Force, where speed and force create an unforgettable experience. Try to ride this at night. It's better. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

This ride scared the crap out of me and I loved it. I personally think its a little scarier than Top Thrill because you go up the hill much slower and get to see everything below you. Air time is great on this one - Jen T

It was long, fast, and unbelivable. The first hill was amazing. If you like roller coasters, you'll LOVE this one. Thrill factor for me: 5 out of 5. - Carrie Wehlage
