| Why
the Millennium Force is #3 on my list... When I got off this coaster the first time, my hair was almost standing straight up! This ride picks you up and takes you for the ride of your life. At 92 mph, I couldn't even tell where we were or what was happening. The first drop was amazing. Almost straight down from heights that the average person doesn't experience every day. Looking out over Lake Erie from the top of that hill will knock your socks off! This ride is unbelievable! I can't wait to ride it again. |
