Located in Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, USA
What else can possibly be said? Cedar Point took the roller coaster record book to new heights and speeds in 2000 with the addition of the epic Millennium Force. Termed a "giga-coaster" for its extreme height, this colossal coaster looms an incredible 310 feet above the ground and reaches a top speed of 93 mph! Millennium Force destroyed 10 world records when it debuted in the first year of the new millennium. In 2005, Millennium Force was voted No. 1 in the "Best Steel Roller Coaster in the World" category in a poll conducted by Amusement Today.
Millennium Force takes its passengers over 6,595 feet of steel track that includes 310-, 169- and 182-foot-tall hills, two dark tunnels and two 122-degree overbanked turns.
The $25 million Millennium Force gave 1,414,521 guests a ride on one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world in 2005. In its six-year history, more than 10 million guests have gone "full force" on Millennium Force. Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to ride.
