This was during the coaster wars era that was occurring at parks across the world. I feel like Millennium Force was one of the catalysts that pushed rollercoaster design further than it ever had been at the time. Now there's Falcon' Flight in Abu Dabi of all places. That one is over 600ft tall! We'll see if it ever opens though.

8:53 I think that was the last operating Trick Track in the United States until it was removed about 6 or so years ago. The only one left, to my knowledge, is the SBNO Mega Zeph at the old Six Flags New Orleans.

I don’t like that these types of shows we started getting in the late 2000’s and the start of the 2010’s it felt like a lot of the people that were being interviewed were not enthusiasts

As of September 2022 this ride has permanently closed, Anybody who got the chance to ride this One-Of-A-Kind RollerCoaster is EXTRAORDINARILY lucky.. Unfortunately Intamin does not make Hydraulic Launch Coasters anymore, they used Linear Synchronous Motors for a launch nowadays, and that doesn't have nearly the same trajectory as this Marvellous 17 Second Coaster..

Cedar Point missed a big opportunity by not playing the hydraulic motor in a huge glass dome for people to watch. That thing is huge and fascinating.

I started watching this and I was thinking "this shows footage of it running. I was expecting it to have footage of it getting stuck on top or a rollback because that IS rare." Then I reread the title. Oh wait, it running is rare too.

I find this ride & launch system to be as addicting as the late 60s & 1970 GM muscle cars equipped with Muncie 4-speeds (GTO, SS396, 442, Gran Sport). And I've been around a L O N G time-
