Coaster Mania 2000

Here Mantis dives down from the
quick turnaround after the immelman. Mantis is one of the better
stand-ups out there. My only critique of it is the brake down
the first drop takes way too much speed away from it taming the second
half.
Let's see how many coasters can
you see in this picture? There's 5 including Cedar Point's
newest the 310 foot tall Millennium Force. The Force's lift is
to the left and then you can see several more of this monstrous coaster's
hills spread out over the park.
Millennium Force drops you at an
80 degrees and you end up going somewhere around 93 miles per hour at
the bottom of the drop. The speed is mind numbing.
Here the Force fly's up into it's
turnaround. Before the tunnel this ride is just a blur.
If Millennium Force is one thing it's a speed demon.
