This one is so big, its in its own rankings-the Gigacoaster...

    Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio is called "America's Roller Coast," and with good cause too. Millennium Force will be Cedar Point's 14th roller coaster, an outstanding feat for any amusement park. They have made millions of dollars in investments in world class coasters such as Magnum XL-200, the first coaster to break 200-feet, and still number one in many people's minds. Mean Streak, is an awesome wooden roller coaster that is quite large and fast, and looks a little bit like the Texas Giant at Six Flags over Texas. Raptor, a B&M inverted creation, is also many fan's favorite roller coaster. Along with a very tall stand-up called Mantis, a suspended called Iron Dragon, another wooden called Blue Streak, an Arrow Dynamics idea called Corkscrew, and many others. If you're looking for high speed thrills, especially in 2000, Cedar Point is the place to be.

    A Millennium Force experience will be like none other. Millennium Force will also allow Cedar Point to break 10 world records. The ride will begin with a lift hill, only steeper (45 degrees) and a new concept: an elevator cable system for the lift. The trains, made by Intamin, will feature new stadium-type seating, for great views anywhere, and also have open sides. As you near the top of the lift hill at an outstanding height of, *gasp* 310-feet, you can see anything in the park. Then, you will start plunging down the 80° first drop reaching the speed of 92 m.p.h. That's incredibly tall, steep, and fast-all in the first drop! After the 300-foot drop, you will speed into the very overbanked turn-a-round, at 122° its not exactly an inversion, however, it's extremely banked, and will no doubt feel some intense G's. After making another quick turn to the left, it will rush into one of two tunnels and then after some spiraling and more turning around, it will run into the new magnetic braking system. Six Flags Magic Mountain and Cedar Point are dueling again with SFMM's GOLIATH and Cedar Point's Millennium Force. Who shall win? Time will tell, but regardless who will win, Millennium Force will be absolutely huge, and no doubt, another world-class roller coaster.
