Nicknamed “Millennium Forceless”, absolutely one of the most iconic coasters ever built, and certainly Cedar Point’s most iconic coaster (Besides Dragster 😭). When I first rode this in August 2019, this was at one point the tallest and fastest coaster I had ever been on, and it was the first Giga coaster I had ever ridden. I gotta say, it’s pretty good.
While this coaster doesn’t have the same sentimental importance to me as Dragster, and is nowhere near as good as Maverick or SteVe, it’s still one of Cedar Point’s top coasters for sure. It’s got a great location first off, sitting right next to Lake Erie. It also has one of the greatest first drops I have ever experienced on a coaster ever, partly due to its location as well as the sheer size of it. Other than that, the coaster is simply just fun as heck. Smooth, fast, scenic, exhilarating, and just pure fun. I hear people who call this ride forceless, and I disagree. While it pales in comparison in intensity to say, Fury or especially freakin’ I305, it still pulls some good intensity, especially on the first overbank after the drop. The biggest strength of this coaster however is a front row ride, which is one of the greatest that I have ever experienced in my entire life. Heck, the first time I rode it in the front, I was shaken from how fast it was, call that forceless! It’s no Fury front row, but it’s still 100% a worthwhile experience. If I had to make a complaint, I personally feel as if the layout is repetitive. I love how immense and sprawling it is, but I wish there was a greater variety of elements and not just a ton of overbanks.
Despite its shortcomings, Millennium Force is still one of the best coasters that I’ve ever ridden in my life. I feel as if in recent years this coaster has fallen in popularity, but you know what, I still think it holds up in the modern industry, and it’s genuinely a great coaster. While it may not be quite as good as Fury or I305, it’s still pretty great, and absolutely has a spot in my top 20. It’s definitely one of the best at Cedar Point, and serves as a pillar and a true icon of the coaster wars and American roller coaster engineering, still holding up a quarter century later. Now, I just hope this classic CP Intamin coaster still operates for years to come, and doesn’t meet the same fate as many other older Intamins (R.I.P. Top Thrill Dragster 😭, and Wicked Twister)

X2 is INSANE! It's tall, fast, and so crazy that it doesn't even feel like a roller coaster. You reach a blistering 76 mph on a huge 20 ton ride vehicle as it simultaneously flips and twists you in ways you would never think are possible. One second you are being slammed down into your seat with wind howling in your face and the next you are floating out of it doing some sort of crazy inversion maneuver. And the last raven turn is crazy intense! My tip is to just keep your head back on the headrest. I love X2 so much and it has a very comfortable spot in my top 5.

Arieforce One is hands down one of the best roller coasters I've ever ridden and it's easily my new favorite RMC. Arie's layout has insane pacing and all my favorite RMC elements placed in perfect succession. The ride gets crazier as it goes on. The stall is pure zen, the outerbank is somehow crazier than the one on Steel Vengeance, and everything after the awesome double-up might just be my favorite roller coaster section ever. The arcade roll is unbelievably fast and it's one of my favorite inversions. The sideways airtime pop into the g-force heavy turnaround is so cool, and the final roll throws you into the finale: six back-to-back ejector bunny hops. It's even crazier than it sounds. Every time we hit the brake run, I was smiling so much that my mouth and jaw started to hurt. That is a sign of a great coaster.
I'm so grateful that my family was able to make it to Fun Spot Atlanta before it closed forever, and that we were able to ride Arieforce One. I have faith that someone will relocate it and I hope that I can ride it again someday!

Stardust Racers is more than just a roller coaster--it's truly a celestial experience. I rode the yellow side in the front row at night with onboard audio, and that was one of the single best roller coaster rides of my life. The airtime is both powerful and comfortable, the trains are beautiful, the launches are intense, and the soundtrack perfectly ties it all together. Every time I think about Stardust Racers I can't help but smile. While the green side has more sustained airtime moments, I prefer the sharper, more abrupt airtime moments on the yellow side. I also thought the theming was awesome, which makes me like this ride even more!

Stardust Racers is more than just a roller coaster--it's truly a celestial experience. The airtime is both powerful and comfortable, the trains are beautiful, the launches are intense, and the soundtrack perfectly ties it all together. Every time I think about Stardust Racers I can't help but smile. From my experience, this side has more near-misses with the other track and the other train, but I still give the edge to the yellow side because of its more abrupt moments of airtime. I also thought the theming was awesome, and it makes me like this ride even more!
