    Pace Smoothness Harness Disappointing!

    I still say that this is one of the world's most overrated coasters ever. The intensity is massively overrated and I don't understand why people consider it to be so intense. The first turn around I grey out the same amount on a number of coasters, shoot even Back Lot Stunt Coaster! The layout is very bland in my opinion but also unique. I love the weird airtime/lateral hill, but the first giant hill and the back to back turn sections just don't do it for me. I do enjoy the airtime hills near the end but they're over so quickly. I think if this ride replaced the back to back turns with airtime hills, it would be one of my favorites. but for now it honestly feels like a less intense version of Maverick.

    First Drop Rattle Airtimes Dead spots

    Oh Millennium Force, one of the world's most boring rides. If you like rides that are tall, fast, and long, you'll love this ride solely for that purpose. But if you like literally anything else... uhhhh. This ride has legitimately zero airtime, even the flojector hill is laughably bad. I've been riding this ride for 10+ years, every seat you can imagine and I still find it boring. I'm not going to call it forceless, because the first overbank makes me grey out, but I will call the rest of the ride pretty forceless. Even the first drop, which is arguably the best part of the ride has only floater in the back seat. Not to mention that rattle that persists throughout the E N T I R E ride. I don't care that it was the world's first giga, or that it's been consistently ranked one of the "best", this ride is just not a world class ride and has significantly slipped in my rankings as I've ridden more roller coasters.

    Disappointing! Pointless Airtimes

    I've heard in the past that this ride is just plain rough. That is wrong. This ride is just BORING. Legit, I've been on kiddie coasters that have been more exciting that this, for example Woodstock Express. The ride is not terrible but I sat in the second to front and second to last and oh my god it was just plain boring. Just get the credit and you're done.

    Layout Headbanging Discomfort

    Wow. This is one of my least favorite rides ever, and is actually one of the two coasters out of 91 I've ridden I consider rough. If you thought Mean Streak was bad, which I actually enjoyed, prepare to literally die on this ride. Riding this first was a huge mistake as it made my back hurt for the rest of the day strangely. I love Vekoma SLC layouts and it was still a fun ride, but ouch. Beware.

    Inversions

    Honestly, this ride gets so much more hate than it deserves. I rode this ride this past weekend and it was running beautifully and it was never that bad in the years previous. I find standing slightly on your tip-toes makes the ride a lot better. I did not get any headbanging, only part I kind of had to brace I guess was the corkscrew, which has a hell of a whip. The turn around after the loop has a very fun spot to jump at and the helix is surprisingly good, one of my favorites! The seats this 2018 season seem to have become easier to move up and down, which was probably my biggest complaint before.
