boldikus Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Millennium was just SO HYPED UP for me that it was a bit of a letdown... its got a great drop but the rest is just fast turns and some really nice floater over the hills. I admit everything changed when I rode it at night but I completely understand why anyone would say its a "meh" ride. That little red steel bronco around the way though... giddy up! Blew my mind all over my face on every lap we took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 ^Yea I noticed a lot of people do bash M-Force for some reason. Its the only giga coaster I been on so I guess I can't say much. I'm sure the newer gigas are more intense but that doesnt mean M-Force is a lame coaster. I really enjoyed M-Force. However do I admit I would like to try the other gigas as well still even then Im sure I'd still enjoy M-Force a lot. I've ridden Fury, I305, Leviathan and MF and still think MF is the best. If you ask 3 different people what their favorite North American giga is, you'll get 3 different answers. Virtually no one will say Leviathan (though it's a great coaster) because Fury is similar but infinitely better in every possible way, but I305, Fury and Millennium Force are all totally different types of coasters so it all depends on personal taste. They're all amazing coasters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 In the words of Robb Alvey "I305 eats Millennium Force and craps it all over Cedar Point". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Now that we're kinda on the subject, I'd rank the Gigas (I've ridden) as follows: 1. Intimidator 305 2. Fury 325 (Both top 6 steel) ... 3. Millennium Force 4. Leviathan 5. Steel Dragon 2000 (These last three sit between 16-26 steel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVicesAndVirtues Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 ^^I agree, i305 definitely eats MF and craps it all over Cedar Point... ...however, after about 3-4 rides, it eats me and craps me all over the midway outside the exit. And I need to wait an hour before I can be subjected to those kind of forces again. I'll agree on Fury, it's sooooo good. I did not expect that from post-1998 B&M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 I'd actually very much like to ride MF again now that my expectations are lower. I'll probably enjoy it more the next time around because of that. It's definitely been the case w/ other coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) I honestly never had much of a problem with bugs on Millennium Force. I notice it a lot more on rides where they have spotlights pointed up at the track, attracting the bugs. Riding Gatekeeper at night feels like you're riding a coaster in the rain.

Mossed Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I305 and Fury are both much better than Millennium, I thought. Hypers, I'm going with Behemoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnlloyd Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Since Leviathan is technically a giga coaster, I won't include it on my list below. So, here is my favourite hyper coaster list based on the hyper coasters I've been on: 1.Behemoth 2.Diamondback 3.Steel Force I am hoping to make my first visit to Kennywood next summer in order to take a ride on Phantom's Revenge as it looks like an amazing hyper coaster!

Angle O. Descent Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 1. Bizarro/STR 2. Phantom's Revenge 3. Ride of Steel 4. Behemoth 5. Diamondback Other sit-down coasters with no inversions or launches: - Lightning Run - New Texas Giant - I-305 - Millennium Force - Fury 325 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Updated list 1. Phantom's Revenge 2. Mako - Quick pacing and a better first half than any other 200ft B&M. Without the trim and mid-course this could be tops. 3. Nitro 4. Diamondback 5. Raging Bull Honorable mentions to Magnum, Superman (SFA), and Apollo's Chariot. Intamin gigas would be the top two if they were included. Steel Force is nowhere near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotanicalStig Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 #1 has to be Magnum for me. The view and ejector air time hills are just great. I've never been on an Intamin in the 200ft range. Frankly, none of the B&Ms are worth sorting out. They've all been fine. None of then have been great, and none of them have sucked. IMO they all kind of feel the same.

Canobie Coaster Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I find the biggest thing with the B&Ms is how hard the trim brakes/mid-course brake run hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Magnum. Not just my favorite hyper coaster, but my favorite coaster ever. Period. Because nostalgia. Being 13 years old in '89 and staring up at the unfathomable enormity of planet earth's very first ever hyper coaster was an utterly mind-blowing experience that I will never forgot, and one that simply cannot be recreated for me without the aid of a time machine or magical age-reversing pills. It isn't exactly the ride itself; it's what it represented to me at that time at that highly impressionable age. Roller coasters eventually got taller and faster and steeper and whateverer, but for me, there will only ever be one Magnum. It's very very special.

cparkes92 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've only ridden two hypers: 1. Magnum XL-200 (even though it can beat you up if you sit in the wrong seat, it has ejector air the entire way back) 2. Raging Bull (only rode this once in 2005 and don't remember anything special about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamj2543 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The only real Hypers I have been on are Behemoth and Magnum XL-200, so I guess my list is 1. Magnum XL-200 2. Behemoth I find Behemoth to be overrated as hell (not a bad ride), but also looks just as good as all the other B&M hypers. Idk why everyone likes them SO much, but maybe I am bored of it because I have probably been on it 200+ times in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
