Just post your reviews of coasters you've ridden here! It can be simple, or detailed.

 

I'll start, here's my review of Millennium Force

 

I got in to Cedar Point late at night in the beginning of June. The most dominating sight to see was this massive Intamin Giga. The next day, after I rode Maverick (my favorite roller coaster), I headed over for this ride. Going against some advice, I was expecting this ride to be my #1. Going on a Friday, I expected much worse lines, but I can't say I waited much longer than 10 minutes for Millie. Once getting in the Intamin cars, we were off. The lift hill felt a lot steeper, and I got some great views of surrounding Lake Erie and other coasters of the park. Luckily, this was a pretty fast lift as I was awaiting the expecting best coaster to begin. Then, after cresting the top, we plunged down the BEST, most INTENSE drop I've ever experienced! I tried to put my hands up, but it was so insanely long and forceful I couldn't possibly do that. Perfect start!

 

After reaching the bottom, we were thrown into the first giant overbanked turn. It reminded me a bit of the overbanked turn on Goliath at Great America, only much larger and forceful. After that excellent beginning, the rest of the ride after the first tunnel let me down. It was very fast and relatively smooth with some rattling, but it just wasn't all that thrilling. Probably because both large hills offered NO airtime. Even when I rode in the very back row. Okay, that little hill next to the station offered a little ejector, but that was all. Nothing too notable. So that's that. Yeah, I don't think it the layout was anything special. It didn't BORE me by any means, but it was far from being my #1 like I expected.

 

Overall, the ride was exhilarating with the speed, but I see why it's considered overrated. I wholeheartedly agree. I did really enjoy the size, insane drop, smoothness, setting and pacing which I do feel could've had more done with such a long duration. But as you can see it is my 2nd favorite steel coaster under Maverick, so I don't hate it at all. It is a great coaster despite being overrated

 

What are some of your reviews?

Don't we already do this with trip reports and posts in the designated park threads? It's much more organized that way.

Just, let the thread die a natural organic death.
