Millennium Force official stats revealed

Well Jeff what about the extra weight of passengers? And also jeff whats up with you trying to sue me because I was helping you out?
you won't answer my emails either?

Thanks for clearing that up for me Jeff.

WOOD RULES!

no jeff your wrong as the tracks and wheels heat up it causes them to become slicksr causing the train to go faster. And when the people that work at cedar point ride it they go around 122 mph. Because they dont use the brakes on the train. And on a normal hot day at cedar MF can go 115 mph because of the heating of the train and track.

oh and the Sd angle of decent is 67

Millenium Force is by far the best coaster on the planet!!! I don't know about Steel Dragon, but a 67 degree drop is good for a hyper coaster (like Superman Ride of Steel), but not as good for a giga. I just got back from Cedar Point and Kings Island. Son of Beast was pretty good even though it beat you up pretty good if you didn't get in the front seat!!! I know my sister suffered dearly!!!

GForce, you are nothing but hot air on these posts. Do yourself a favor and think before you type. We all realize you are forever in love with CP but this is ridiculous.

"DONT FIGHT IT, RIDE IT",,,,RAGING BULL

Yeah, as soon as you start talking about "brakeless" rides your credibility is somewhere in the toilet, since the only brakes on the ride are at the end.

Besides, you can't tell me anything that Isaac Newton proved otherwise hundreds of years ago. It's time to let go before you make yourself look even dumber.

you are an idiot the coaster has brakes underneath the train,. a ride op and mechanic that i know and i am friends with them told me and they know and you dont know ****

No GForce, you know nothing and have no right calling people names. The brakes are mounted on the track, on each side of the train. Fins on the side of the car slide through the magnetic brake calipers. Due to physics involving the force of earth's gravity, there is no way the coaster can go even 100mph., much less the 122mph and 115mph you are saying. The ride was officially measured at 93mph., go read the news section on this site.

Thank god we dont have to deal with him anymore.

No brakes?!? 122 MPH?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's about as believable as a 450 foot tall stand up inverted wooden coaster, HA!

Ride 'Till you drop

Exactly, the only way that the ride could reach 100 is if it was propelled down the hill which it is not. The stories about 115 and 122 are just mere myths and you have fallen for the lore GForce
why don't you go read a book on GForces and you will see that the earth's gravity will not make a car fall faster when it has more mass. It increases the terminal velocity, but if the ride can reach only 95 under ideal conditions then in the real world, 93 sounds about right.

f=ma
f=force exerted: Increases proportionally with the mass of the object being acted upon.
m=mass: If this changes then the force is multiplied by the same factor.
a=acceleration when we are talking about gravity this is always approximately 9.8m/s/s.

From that formula we can see that when the mass of a rollercoaster train changes then the gravitational force changes by the same factor and the acceleration will remain the same. More mass doesn't mean a faster fall. The rest of the ride may run a little faster due to more momemtum, but the first fall should always be pretty much the same.

Jap should stick to cars and cd players dont mess with the best MF forever!!!!!!!! 318 whooooo 8 ft bigger cedar point rules

Jeff just wondering if a coaster verted out could it possible reach 100????

In a vaccuum an object would have to fall approximately 335 feet in order to break one hundred miles per hour in free fall. With wind resistance and given the fact that rollercoaster drops are not completely staight down a coaster would have to be much taller. Probably at least 350 ft. I don't know enough about the physics in real world situations to give you an exact answer.
