Millenium Force/Coastermania

The ert on Raptor was walk on the whole time. I got 7 laps and 1 on MF. I had to leave before the night ert. :(

I just got home and had a great time.I was actually kind of dissappointed about MF,it really lacks airtime and intensity.
After the first drop it just seemed to cruise at a slow dragged out pace.All in all I thought it was a good ride but not worth the wait.
My congrats goes out to Cedar Point for hosting a great day and winning that British coaster clubs award for best park or something like that.
Almost forgot does anyone know what caused that brown out around 4pm?????????

Brown out(was there one)?

Brown out? I was napping back in my room at that time (see my trip report), so I missed that.



I got 8 Raptor laps and 1 MF ride in during the morning ERT. One Mantis (token ride) and one Magnum during the evening -- could have had more on Magnum but decided to call it a day.

Yeha I do remember that. I saw the Iron Dragon, Wildcat, and some others stop at their lift hills. O yeah, Dirtyvern you must have lost your head. How could you say that MF was sluggish? It was so fast the whole time. Whatever, I guess it is an opinion.

When I went on MF, I thought it was a great ride! I got to sit in the second seat from the front (I wanted to sit in the front, but some guy took it before I did). What's up with the Iron Dragon going so slow up the lift hills? I don't get it. I am so jealous of some of you for going on Raptor 8 times! I only got to go on it once, and the MF line took me 2 hours! I wish I woulda went on June 2. I think I might go on July 4th because people say it isn't busy. I like the Gemini a lot too because you can get on and get on again! I love it.

I noticed that to about the Iron Dragon. I rode it 5 times and every time it alllllllmost stop on the lift.

Iron Dragon's first lift hill slows to prevent a block violation by that train against the one already on the course. When the train on the second lift hill is just about to crest it, the first lift hill will speed up again. If you see the second train crest it's lift hill and the lift does not speed up, THEN get worried.
