Millennium Force...
Termed a "giga-coaster" for its extreme height, this colossal coaster looms an incredible 310 feet above the ground and reaches a top speed of 93 mph!

In 2005, Millennium Force was voted No. 1 in the "Best Steel Roller Coaster in the World" category in a poll conducted by Amusement Today.
Millennium Force takes its passengers over 6,595 feet of steel track that includes 310-, 169- and 182-foot-tall hills, two dark tunnels and two 122-degree overbanked turns.
