Millennium Force is a steel roller coaster built by Intamin AG located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. It is the fourteenth roller coaster built at the park. Standing 310 feet (95 m) tall at its highest point, the coaster overlooks Lake Erie. When built in 2000, it was the first roller coaster to be taller than 300 feet, and it was briefly the tallest complete circuit roller coaster in the world, before being beaten by Steel Dragon 2000, Cedar Point's own Top Thrill Dragster, and Kingda Ka. It is also the first roller coaster to utilize a cable lift system, rather than a traditional chain lift. A potential chain lift was considered too heavy considering that Magnum XL-200's chain was 7short tons (6t) and two-thirds as tall. The cable lift uses an 800-horsepower (600kW) motor that turns a set of sprocket gears that pulls the cable. Cable lifts were previously only used on smaller coasters in Europe. After the 2007 season, Millennium Force had given over twelve million rides total. Riders must be at least four feet tall.
Millennium Force has been voted the number one steel roller coaster in the world in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket awards five times since the year 2001, and has never been ranked lower than number two since it opened in 2000.[2] Millennium Force has switched the top position with Superman - Ride of Steel, a hypercoaster of very similar construction, three times in the last seven years.
Today, Millennium Force is no longer the tallest or fastest roller coaster at Cedar Point, having been surpassed in height and speed by Top Thrill Dragster. Nonetheless, Millennium Force remains one of the tallest, fastest, and longest steel roller coasters in the world.[3]

Ride layout
While the train is being loaded in the station, the catch car for the cable lift descends the lift and latches onto the middle car of the train. Once the train is cleared, the cable lift pulls the train up a 45 degree lift hill at 15miles per hour (24km/h) to a height of 310feet (94m). After reaching the top, the train drops 300feet (91m) down at an 80 degree angle and reaches a top speed of 93miles per hour (150km/h) at the bottom of the hill. It then climbs 169feet (52m) through a right overbanked turn at 122 degrees from the horizontal axis, then travels through a tunnel as it passes over the Frontier Trail midway. It then travels over a 182-foot (55 m) parabolic hill, which provides a moment of airtime (negative G-forces) as it passes over a lagoon and down onto Millennium Island. While on Millennium Island, the train completes a 105-foot (32m), 360-degree, right-handed helix, followed by a left overbanked turn and then a small right-hand turn before traveling over another airtime hill to exit the island. After exiting the island, the train travels left through a second tunnel, then travels over a small airtime hill over the station exit before passing by the queue. Finally, the train travels 68feet (21m) high through another right overbanked turn over the queue and is brought to a stop by magnetic brakes.
