      ​@ThyPandora as cool as that sounded, I am glad we're past that too. Maybe it's the Maverick fan boy in me talking but I think designs got a lot more creative after rides like Kingda Ka and Dragster showed their true colors so to speak. Even Falcons Flight is at least a more elaborate track design than them, even if I have my doubts about it

    I was at the park when they started building the hill on this thing. They didn’t have the track on yet so it was just the structure. My family and I were looking at it and wondering what the hell they were building because it certainly didn’t look like a roller coaster. It ended up being one of our favorite rides ever!

      Millennium is a much better thrill… Dragster may be taller, but the spiral on the way down ruins the momentum of the fall, and all you can see on your way down are steel beams and track. You don’t really FEEL the height. It’s a gimmick which harps back to an era where parks were more concerned about breaking records than offering full satisfying rides. I’m actually glad it’s coming down
