Millennium Force

Cedar Point

Cedar Point pushed the limits on roller coaster design in the new millennium, breaking ten world records when it debuted Millennium Force in the year 2000. This impressive steel monster called a "giga-coaster" by Cedar Point was the first full-circuit roller coaster to stand more than 300-feet tall, thus making it the tallest, fastest full-circuit roller coaster in the world at opening.

Designed and built by Intamin AG, Millennium Force has an "out and back" layout in an L-shape that begins with a 310-foot tall lift hill that parallels Lake Erie. This 6,595-foot long scream machine includes a 310-foot, 169-foot and 182-foot tall hills, a stomach stealing 300-foot drop at a near vertical 80 degree angle, two dark tunnels and three overbanked turns. Since its debut, Millennium Force has consistently been voted in polls the No. 1 steel roller coaster in the world. In its first six years, Millennium Force has thrilled more than 10 million riders.
