Unquestionably the best first drop I have ever experienced on a coaster, due to the height, speed and angle of descent. The cable lift makes for a rapid ascent to the top, the scenery is great, the turns are nicely banked and it's overall an outstanding ride. It could use a few more drops, which is why I rated it less than perfect (only El Toro has that distinction in my rating system), but I love this coaster and apparently so do a lot of other people, as I had to stand in line for 2 1/2 hours to get on it. That is the one downside, no pun intended. - Bobbie Butterfield

AN AMAZING RIDE. unlike the top thrill dragster, this one never gets old. - Steven D

A great coaster! The only one I like more is Maverick. That could be because I rode MF once & Maverick 4 times. The best part of it is the speed. It's probably the smoothest coaster I've ever rode. Intensity: 9.5/10 - Will Gibson

The drop is positively AMAZING! I dont know how some people said it was over ratted!!? Actually I tell every one that the millennium and the dragster are just as good,they are very different but its a tie! the millennium is so smooth and thrilling. the first hill makes my stomach sink it is the best!when youre going down it feels like your almost going inward and its got a great veiw while your riding down the -seems-its-never-ending-first Hill. and i am glad that is isnt as short as some of the other coasters (excluding the dragster)This coaster is Oustanding - Ann Marie krystofek

After the INCREDIBLE first drop, you can forget about air-time on this overly smooth ride. Score 8 out of 10 - Russell Fox

WAY OVERRATED but still a good ride the speed never lets up and the first drop has nice floater airtime all the way down. This is probably the smoothest coaster i have ever been on. 8/10 - Bob Miller

My parents, who are nearing 60 years of age, love Millennium Force. It is fast, smooth, and delivers every time. As long as you avoid riding after dark during the month of June due to swarms of bugs, any ride on MF is stellar. Best experienced in the front seat if you are willing to wait. 9/10 - Jamie Bennish

We got in 22 rides in 3 days. My favorite coaster anywhere. I never tire of it. The best coaster experience you can ever have is riding MF after dark in the front. It's just incredible. - Roger S
