Absolutely the most overrated ride at Cedar Point. I place this ride at about 6-7 in my Cedar Point ranking. I have Valravn and Gatekeeper ahead of this, while Magnum is interchangeable with Millennium's spot. I will also preface this by saying my first and most ridden giga is Fury so maybe I am a bit spoiled when it comes to this coaster type. This is also not to say Millennium Force is a bad ride. It certainly is fun and has its moments, its just that a lot of it is nothing to write home about. The cable lift was quick and offered nice views. The drop was nothing more than ordinary in my opinion but the pull out from it into the outerbank was intense and a lot of fun. The airtime hills are another element worth noting especially the picturesque first massive hill that can be seen almost anywhere in the park, and then bunny hill before the last overbank. But thats about where my praise stops. The rest of the layout felt dull and uninspired. The ride also had a slight rattle that was surprising to me. The rattle by no means hurt or took away from the ride too much but definitely caught me off-guard on my first ride. Another thing that I dont like to criticize rides for but this ride seemed plagued with was downtime and maintenance issues. She's seemed to have a rough 25th. It was closed for about 2-3 days leading up to my arrival and the reopened on my second day there. My first ride I baked in the uncovered queue while they addressed whatever issue it had. Overall I wouldn't dare call this ride Millennium Forceless and I appreciate the boundaries it broke for coasters, but at the end of the day it made me homesick for Fury and was the most unexpected disappointment of my Cedar Point trip.

Absolutely love this ride. The theming and story-telling is fantastic and blew me away. The inversions (especially the jojo roll) and pacing were brilliant and relentless. On my second go around on this ride I got evacuated from it. They ended up prying my restraints open with a broom handle. But that absolutely did not take away from this marvelous ride.

Growing up I was absolutely terrified of coasters. But pushing through those fears led me to Pantheon. Pantheon transformed me into an enthusiast. I may not have ridden many coasters at the time of writing, but I know this is what i’m going to continue to look for in others. This ride has little to no dead spots. It’s fast, relentless and full of fun elements. Everything from the first zero G winder to the airtime on the multi-pass launch to the brake run is engrained in my memory. Even the restraints to me are masterpiece material. Pantheon the coaster that you are, I love you so much. No matter what ride comes before you in my ranking you will forever hold the most special of places in my heart.

Came into this expecting it to topple afterburn off my favorite invert spot. However I came off this ride and realized its instead my least favorite. The first drop was the best on any rendition of this model and unlike any others ive been on it made my tummy drop a little. But the rest of the ride rattled while the restraints got tighter and tighter. The elements I was excited for ended up being overshadowed by the discomfort this ride brought. I will note that I only rode in the last row and that certainly could've broke this coaster for me. I believe that a re-ride is for sure needed in the future but as of right now this sits as my least favorite invert and the biggest disappointment out of all my credits.

For me this was a slightly above average B&M hyper. Very fun ride but nowhere near as relentless as ive found other hypers to be. Floater was great and the splashdown was unique and felt magical. Oddly enough however, I prefer Intimidator at Carowinds to this when I expected it to be the other way around. Maybe a re-ride in the future will have this placed higher for me.

Orion is my #1 at King's Island. After a long day of disappointment graciously handed over to me by this parks coaster lineup Orion really surprised me and raised my spirits high. A decent first drop followed by an unusual layout with some unique forces. The horseshoe turn was a lot of fun and the figure 8 helix had good intensity. Overall I would consider this Fury's little brother instead of a distant cousin like I expected it to be. Its sad to see this ride not get the love it deserves due to the fact it didn't break any records. Id also like to note that this is definitely a giga coaster and is the most rollercoaster rollercoaster of all time. When I close my eyes and think of rollercoaster Orion's blue track pops straight into mind.

A fun family coaster I could've seen myself enjoying when I was younger. The helix out the launch was surprisingly intense and same goes for the dark part after the helicopter scene. The rest of the layout was fun but a bit uncomfortable. As for the aforementioned helicopter part, nothing happened on my ride of this. It played Ride of Valkyries while not a single prop moved. Then the music stopped and we sat there for about a minute in silence. Absolutely peak action and stunts.

After taking a hike through the woods (seriously was all that queue space ever necessary??) this ride was by far the most rickety thing ive strapped myself into but it was a surprising and fun experience. The location in the woods certainly helps this ride stand out even if most of the ride time is the lift hill. Bonus points for the Son of Beast station being visible around this ride.

Very surprised by the quality of this ride. Growing up Rock'n Rollercoaster was about the only coaster I could tolerate/like, so riding this felt warm and nostalgic even if I didn't have Steven Tyler singing to me the whole time or a big ass guitar out front. That is not to say that this theming is not worth mentioning. It was fantastic and one of the best themed rides I have ever been on. Everything from the building facade and conspiracy van to the UFO in the queue was fantastic. As for the ride itself this layout is superior to that of Rock'n Rollercoaster. I love launched dark spaghetti bowl rides and after riding a grand total of two of them this is definitely my favorite. It provides great forces (especially on the launch) and the corkscrew at the end was a lovely surprise. My only complaint is the restraints, They're restrictive and crushed my feet but it is still better than Rock'n Rollercoaster's over the shoulder harness. I am not fond of King's Island's coaster lineup but this and Orion made the trip there well worth it and this ride in particular was a nice surprise.

I will preface this by saying I think my weight has a lot to do with my dislike of it. I have yet to find a wooden coaster that doesn’t rattle my spinal cord into my brain and I think that’s because I weigh about a button and a bottle cap. My hypothesis was proven when the borderline obese guy next to me seemed to be having the time of his life while I was terrified that I was gonna come off a paraplegic. As for the ride it starts with that comedically slow chain lift into an actually decent first drop. Followed shortly by one of the only moments of airtime I remember. Skipping past what might’ve been an actually fun layout that went unnoticed by me while I was playing defense against every inch of the track. We get the second lift hill which offered a nice view of a bunch of track winding through the woods. This was followed by the helix which was surprisingly fun and one of the most intense moments on any ride i’ve experienced. Fun until I hit a spot that made my spine feel like it exploded and made me realize how good the retrack on the first half actually was. I then spent the rest of the ride in fear that I would be unable to wipe my own ass for the rest of my life. Overall I think if my glutes had more padding and I didn’t get thrown around like I was in a dryer I could’ve enjoyed this way more.

Somehow the best and most enjoyable wooden coaster i’ve ever been on. I tag it with smoothness not because it’s actually smooth but because it’s the smoothest wooden coaster i’ve ever been on. The airtime on this was great fun. Also a shame it wasn’t racing when I went.

Like I mentioned in my Beast review I believe that the fun of a wooden coaster gets left at the station due to the fact I am built like a malnourished grandma. However this ride is one I could understand being highly rated if I was anyone else. It seems like a fun and well paced layout that was hindered by my attempt at defending from paralysis and a mild concussion.

Realized about 2 months late that I never wrote a review for this but after getting 10 re-rides give or take on this since I feel like I can even more accurately review this ride. That first drop is absolutely breathtaking with amazing airtime. From there you hit one of the most complete and well-paced layouts in the world. The emphasis on low to ground moments with ungodly speeds feels absolutely surreal. The interaction with the path leading up to security and the treble clef turn around are both intense and memorable. You almost always have someone down there marveling at the speed the trains pass by at. From there the ride slows down which is my only complaint. However the airtime hills and head-chopper moment remain some of my favorite parts of the ride. Growing up before I was a fan of rollercoasters and refused to get on anything except Goldrush this ride made my heart race and stomach churn just at the sight. Now i’m proud to say this is my favorite at my home park and a solid entry into my top 5 coasters. Really wish I could put more pros for this ride as it really has everything you could ever want from a ride.
