Cedar Point To Build World's Tallest Roller Coaster
310-Foot-Tall "Millennium Force" To Debut in 2000;
New Thriller To Break 10 World Records
Sandusky, OH -- July 22, 1999 -- Cedar Point amusement park/resort will take a quantum thrill-riding leap into the next century when it builds the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world for its 2000 season. Named Millennium Force, the goliath steel roller coaster will be the single largest investment in the 129-year history of Cedar Point, will be the park's 14th roller coaster -- more than anywhere else on Earth -- and will break an amazing 10 world records!
Millennium Force's statistics are staggering: with a monumental 310-foot-tall first hill at a 45-degree incline, speeds of 92 mph over 6,595 feet of track and a first drop of 300 feet at an extraordinary 80-degree angle, this mega-thriller will awe riders with its dynamic world-record-breaking dimensions. Termed a "giga-coaster" for its extreme height, Millennium Force will be the first and only roller coaster in the world to break the 300-foot-tall barrier.
"We want to enter into the next century with the 'knock-your-socks-off ' roller coaster of the millennium," says Don Miears, executive vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. "Millennium Force will introduce the world to a whole new level of roller-coaster-riding, while reinforcing Cedar Point's strong commitment to being the foremost thrill ride park in the world."
Millennium Force will shatter 10 world records: 1.) tallest roller coaster at 310 feet; 2.) fastest roller coaster at 92 mph; 3.) longest drop on a roller coaster at 300 feet; 4.) the most roller coasters anywhere in the world with an astonishing 14 at Cedar Point; 5.) the most rides anywhere in the world with 68 at Cedar Point; 6.) first roller coaster to break the 300-foot-tall threshold; 7.) most steel roller coasters anywhere in the world with 12 at Cedar Point; 8.) more roller coaster track than anywhere else in the world with 44,013 feet; 9.) first roller coaster to use an elevator lift cable system; and 10.) steepest non-inversion banked turn on a roller coaster at 122 degrees.
Millennium Force will use prototype roller coaster technology with a newly designed elevator cable system to carry the coaster trains up the towering lift hill versus a traditional lift chain. This will be the first time a roller coaster has incorporated an elevator cable system, which will provide a quicker and smoother ride up Millennium Force's 310-foot-tall lift hill.
The new coaster will also have several newfangled concepts: the stainless steel trains on Millennium Force will use the latest design in roller-coaster-seating where the second row of seats are tiered above the first row on each of the nine cars on the coaster's trains to offer an unobstructed view for riders (similar to cinema seating); and the braking system will utilize unique "magnetic" brakes rather than the typical "friction" brakes present on all but a handful of roller coasters in the world.
Millennium Force will challenge riders to a 2-minute, 45-second rampage over the rails that begins with a 310-foot-high lift hill, followed by a 300-foot drop at 92 mph. Riders will then encounter a 169-foot-tall turn that overbanks (extremely banked, but not quite inverted) at a dramatic 122-degree angle, dive into a tunnel, cross a lagoon, scale a hill that stands 182 feet tall and plunge onto a small wooded island. On the island, the coaster will race into an 87-foot-high turn, zoom into a curve 100 feet in the air at an overbanked 122-degree angle and then travel back across the lagoon and through a second tunnel. After emerging from the tunnel, riders will experience "air-time" before flying into a final 68-foot-tall overbanked turn and then return to the station.
Located in the center of the park along Frontier Trail, Millennium Force's expansive layout will cover 13 acres. The Giant Wheel will be relocated adjacent to the Disaster Transport roller coaster to make room for the mammoth Millennium Force. A two-tone futuristic structure, blending a brilliant blue track with sleek silver framework and three trains displaying the primary colors of red, blue and yellow, will dominate the Cedar Point skyline. The three 36-passenger trains will allow for a capacity of approximately 1,600 riders an hour.
Millennium Force will be the seventh world-record-breaking ride Cedar Point has introduced since debuting the world-class No. 1-rated Magnum XL-200 steel roller coaster in 1989. Plus, it will be the seventh roller coaster the park has added during this same time period.
"Our philosophy of reinvestment continues with the stunning addition of Millennium Force," comments Richard L. Kinzel, president and CEO of Cedar Fair, L. P., which owns and operates Cedar Point and four other amusement parks. "This clearly represents the largest project that our company has ever been involved with, and I can't imagine a more exciting time than the new millennium to kick off such a blockbuster roller coaster!"
The internationally acclaimed roller coaster engineering and manufacturing firm, Intamin of Wollerau, Switzerland, and Cedar Point's Planning and Design Department, teamed up to create the layout of Millennium Force.
Roller coaster enthusiasts around the globe will soon be buzzing about Millennium Force and its impact on the coaster community. "Talk about roller coaster bliss," quips Bill Linkenheimer, president of the American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE), a worldwide organization of roller coaster buffs with 5,800 members in 49 states and 17 countries. "Cedar Point is well-known the world over for setting the highest standard in thrill rides. Millennium Force will raise the thrill-factor bar for roller coaster enthusiasts everywhere seeking the ultimate scream machine."
Construction of Millennium Force is currently under way and will continue throughout the winter. Guests will be able to take their first ride on this "giga-coaster" when Cedar Point opens for the 2000 season in May.
but my perfect roller coaster would be like this:
it would get chain hilled up to 780 ft and then fall on a 102 degree angle under ground 100ft and come up a hill that is 1700 ft tall by launchers at the bottom of the hill then they would plunge down do a large loop were they twist up and then they would do eight loops and 12 hills of 600ft giving you 89 seconds of weightlessness than going up a 2000ft pole and reversing till they got to the 780ft hill then they would go forward again but instead of going up the pole the pole would fold to reveal a tunnel under ground in wich they would do helixs going down to -400 feet then doing a giant loop to get back up then would hit a laser guided area off the track in a crazy way so no two rides were the same they would stay off the track for 2 minutes before geting back on doing 17 loops and two twists to go up a pole and go all the way back to the 780ft hill and then go forward until they got back to this pole were they would go up half way and curve off to continue the ride going though a tunnel and up 67 hills of 1000 ft being re launch up each one and then going in a intiaman loop like twist and then doing a hellixed loop though a side ways twist going up 900 ft then falling stairght down then going up a 750 ft hill and hiting brakes to go down though a loop and up a replaca tower of the kingda ka and plumiting down to go though a tunnel and up a loop,then turning back into the ground and doing a side ways loop on a 60 degree angle then coming up and going though haunted castle while going up and down 200ft hills then affter that would be going though a tropical island paradise while going up and down 100 ft hills and then going though a hole in water and rocketing though an aquirium at 134 mph for 6,832 ft and then soarin up a huge 600 ft hill to come back down do two loops and a butter fly loop(like at dolly wood on the tennesse tornado)and then go up 4187 ft hills until coming to a cork screw and then though a cave on a 45 degree angle sideways then geting out and going up a 400ft hill giving you 8.4 seconds of weightlessness then plumit and go up a 300ft hill then two loops and four twists then you would go though a mt everest replaca (like at animal kingdom's expedition everest),followed by a 112 ft drop and a animatronic yeti chasing you until you do a 50ft drop to hit brakes,and plumit of 138ft and though 3 loops and two hills of 60 ft to hit brakes and go into the station,it would be a camaflage color that allowed it to blend in with all the trees surronding it or when in the beach area a beach color it would be called the dark singapore and would cost 2 billion dollars and would be located in my back yard and if you wanted to ride it between 7am and 4pm it would cost you $5 for unlimited rides next to it would be 123 holes of mini golf and a tiny wooden roller coaster called racer that would be 50 ft tall with a top speed of 30mph,along with a replaca of the iron dragon from cedar point there and to ride all the other rides and attractions it would be five more dollars
which would give you unlimited times for the length of the time that my yard was open.
truley all 15 of those coasters are #1 but kingda ka was unique at 128mph and 456ft all in 3118ft of track!
Jackson, NJ - January 14, 2005 - Six Flags Great Adventure "topped off" (placed the apex, or top piece of steel track) the massive, 456-foot-tall tower of Kingda Ka - the tallest, fastest roller coaster on earth. An enormous crane, towering more than 500 feet in the air, hoisted the final piece of steel track into place, completing the record-breaking roller coaster tower yesterday.
Kingda Ka's tower stands 151 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty and dwarfs London's Big Ben.
Kingda Ka will shatter existing world records for speed and height, launching from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, and reaching a maximum height of 456 feet. It is the cornerstone of the new Golden Kingdom, an 11-acre mythical jungle also featuring the Temple of the Tiger show and exhibit; Balin's Jungleland, an elaborate, new children's area; plus a plethora of exotic creatures, and new shopping and dining facilities.
SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE LAUNCHES NEW MYTHICAL JUNGLE SECTION AND ROCKETS THE TALLEST, FASTEST ROLLER COASTER ON EARTH
INTO HISTORY BOOKS
JACKSON, N.J. — A "great new adventure" awaits guests at Six Flags Great Adventure this season as the park launches Kingda Ka, the tallest and fastest roller coaster on Earth and the cornerstone of The Golden Kingdom, a mythical new jungle-themed land within the theme park. The Golden Kingdom includes Balin's Jungleland, a new children's adventure area; Temple of the Tiger, an entertaining and educational exhibit featuring the original, Broadway-style show, Spirit of the Tiger; exotic animal ambassadors plus new shopping and food service conveniences.
Spirit of the Tiger headlines the park's largest family entertainment program in its history, featuring seven new productions. The Golden Kingdom and enhanced live entertainment package are part of a comprehensive, new guest service focus implemented for the 2005 season.
"Six Flags Great Adventure has unveiled the largest expansion in our 31-year history," said Rick McCurley, vice president and general manager. "Our guests will experience unparalleled thrills and family entertainment with outstanding guest service. It's our first step in transforming the world's largest regional theme park into a true family destination."
As guests venture into the 11-acre Golden Kingdom, they encounter giant temple ruins, colorful shopping bazaars and winding pathways enveloped by lush, tropical plants and trees.
The centerpiece of the new, mythical land is Kingda Ka, the "King of Coasters," shattering all existing world records for roller coaster speed and height by legendary proportions. It rockets riders horizontally from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds before vertically catapulting them a mind-blowing 456 feet (45 stories) into the sky at a 90-degree angle. After a brief moment in the clouds, riders descend 418 feet (41 stories) back down to Earth in a 270-degree spiral, only to experience another breathtaking moment of weightlessness as they soar over a 129-foot-tall hill (nearly 13 stories) and then glide back into the station.
"There is no doubt that Kingda Ka is the top stop for ultimate thrill seekers from around the world," McCurley said. "And our youngest guests experience the same level of thrill and adventure in The Golden Kingdom as they journey through Balin's Jungleland and Temple of the Tiger."
Balin's Jungleland features a world of excitement, fun and exploration for little ones. Kids climb high into one of the world's largest play structures, Tigerland Treehouses, to explore three towers of fun offering cargo nets, slides, bridges and more. Toddlers can discover Cub's Corner, an interactive playground designed especially for them. For a break from the summer heat, kids can frolic in Splashwater Oasis with two towers jam-packed with spray guns, tipping buckets and a "jumping" fountain.
Plus, Balin's Jungleland offers new, pint-sized adventures on five themed rides. Kids fly through the air on Royal Elephants, hop aboard a train ride on Jungleland Express, swing in suspended seats on Monkey Around, drive colorful bug mobiles on Bugaboo and spin on the fast-paced Raja's Rickshaws.
Inside the Golden Kingdom's Temple of the Tiger exhibit, guests encounter majestic Bengal tigers while exploring the 33,000 square-foot area. Trainers share their experiences one-on-one with visitors as they work and play with amazing tigers. A new 1,000-seat amphitheater is home to Spirit of the Tiger, an exhilarating, Broadway-quality show fusing multicultural music, dance and animal athleticism.
Spirit of the Tiger begins as "animal ambassadors of the wild" — such exotic creatures as capuchin monkeys, albino pythons, kinkajous and macaws — stroll the aisles with their trainers. The show's pace quickens as amazing Bengal tigers, along with stilt walkers, Indian and Balinese dancers, body balancers and tribal percussionists bring the "spirit of the tiger" to life through multicultural music and dance.
Young adult tigers Balin, Faruk, Hara and Chandi, along with extremely rare golden tabby cubs Kingda Ka and Raina, and white Bengal cub Kiril, take turns stealing the spotlight throughout multiple daily performances. The tigers display their natural animal behaviors like jumping, wrestling, pouncing and swimming. The show's eye-popping finale features more than a dozen performers, multiple tigers and brilliant special effects.
"The Golden Kingdom offers something for everyone, from the littlest guests to ultimate thrill seekers," McCurley concluded. "This exotic kingdom is a one-of-a-kind experience that guests have come to expect from Six Flags Great Adventure."
Six Flags Great Adventure theme park, Six Flags Wild Safari animal park, and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park are located in Jackson, N.J. The parks comprise America's largest regional family entertainment complex. The combined 2,200-acre facility, located midway between Philadelphia and New York City, is part of Six Flags, Inc.
