Cedar Point 1999 Millennium Force Promo Video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2012
- A look at the promotional video sent out by Cedar Point in the summer/fall of 1999 to promote what was to be one of the greatest roller coasters ever built, Millennium Force. This unique video was a great teaser for the park to advertise the new roller coaster coming to Cedar Point in 2000. This was the tallest, fastest, and steepest roller coaster built to date in 2000.
I like how slow they thought the cable lift was gonna go
They probably had no idea.
I like how they called it an "elevator lift" even though there was already such thing as a different coaster lift known as an elevator lift
@@mikethewhizz5085 lol ikr
the backup motor is probably faster than this
Lol
Probably the best comercial for a roller coaster
Ik
Totally, I can’t get the soundtrack out of my head
Yeah the weirdest as well!!🤣🤣
I agree
@@ThyPandora ikr
The song is fucking sick especially with this ride. It's so cool when you hear it while you're waiting in line. Sounds like your in space or something.
I like the comment but did you have to use the F word?
@@Thrill_King why not
@@Thrill_King bruh
@@brokencoasters1342 rude. He really did not have to cuss
@@Gb-dg9pp does it matter? It’s a five year old comment.
When Cedar Point actually cared about their advertisements.
+CoasterCritique *their
Well no, because Cedar Point is an amusement park not a theme park.
CoasterCritique when I showed my friend this he thought it was a ad to think of the new millennium
steel vengeance might have something to say about that...
Hell yeah, SV ads are amazing, I get them on TV sometimes
“The future is riding on it” is one of the most brilliant marketing phrases ever used
In the millennium.
no diddy
Almost 2 decades old and still rated one of the best roller coasters in the WORLD! It will ALWAYS be my number 1!
Have you rode Fury 325?
Maverick is at the same park c'mon
7th Day Productions yup
Fury is better
Your an en
H
I love that, 22 years later, they still play this music in the loading station.
My thoughts exactly! I heard it and I was ready to get on lol
Never, ever gets old
This like.... Sends me to another world. Am i the only one that ACTUALLY gets the chills watching this? It's sad though because Millennium Force OBVIOUSLY lost that creepy "out of this world" feel.
Me to !!!!!
Me too! It gave me chills, especially at 2:36
+rollercoastersarelife YES OMG SAME
+The Coaster Fanatic and also 1:40
Have you ever ridden it in the pouring rain surrounded by lightning at night? Millennium Force may not give you the chills but Millennium Drench sure does!
In the pouring rain you feel like you're being stabbed with needles all over your exposed skin. It is especially creepy (in a good way!) because going up that hill, you feel the rain but when you start going down into the abyss, you feel nothing at all until you hit the bottom. Going down that hill, all you see is white to the sides and in front of you, as if you are riding underwater. It's just incredible! How they were allowed to let us ride during a storm, I have no idea. They were only running the blue train though. It was 30 minutes till park closing so I got on 4 times (they let us through the gate).
This promo got me through the winter of 1999-2000! I downloaded pictures of the construction and was just drooling at the chance to ride this! Then on May 13, 2000, Millennium Force's opening day, I was there! My dad and I drove all night to be there, it was worth every second of it! Over 5000 people camped out near the front gate to be one of the first on the ride! What a memory and the most awesome promo to a roller coaster, EVER! Love that they use the music in the loading station!!!
how many times was it stopped for maintenance on day 1?
'It's out there... MILLENNIUM FORCE *REALLY COOL SOUND*'
Life was amazing in the 90's.
ok chill 90s fanboy
I wasn't even born lol
@@Saibishii that’s too bad
Early '00s, too!
oof sucks to have never watched prime entertainment on disney xd and teen nick as a kid.
This video took me like 30 min to download in 99. Worth it

I'm not even sure why, but I absolutely LOVE this video
Because it’s good!
Nostalgia of what the 90s/00s looked like is the reason why
Same
This baby is still running smoothly 😍
This is the most 90's thing I have EVER seen
Yea actually got chills from this
Millennium Force is one of those roller coasters that became a classic the day it opened. While there are some airtime moments, Millennium Force is more about how it never loses its speed until it reaches the brake run.
I understand.
It's a GIANT and it takes HUGE strides.
"Gravity knows no force... like Millennium Force"
I waited 6 hours opening day and could barely walk when I got off the ride. Worth every minute ! This gives me chills
Long wait time.
and 22yrs later still one of the best coasters on the planet.
I saw this ad when it first came out, and I get the same chills and reaction today that I did back then!
Was this on TV or the internet?
@@jacksonpriestap3685VHS
The day this announcement premiered was the day the earth stood still. To this day, Millennium Force remains one of the most beloved coasters in the world, and this remains one of the best coaster promotional videos ever released.
I get it.
I love the music still to this day
The “breathe” at the end…this promo, this ride, the time it released. It was a perfect storm. 22 years later and this ride is still one of the greatest rated in the world. Probably the greatest roller coaster ever made honestly. Back when Cedar Point was a literal escape from reality. I was 14 when this came out and even though i don’t go to the park anymore, it’s channels like these that post these old promos and bring my childhood back, that I love about the RUclips.
This was the first and last time cedar point made a good advertisement for their new coaster
Millennial Jamaa The Mantis ad was cool
Mantis?
YOSHI YO
Mantis is the former version of Rougarou. Before it was a B&M sit down, it was a B&M stand up. It had the same layout, but just different track color and different name and cars. You should look it up, it’s a cool ride. I’ve ridden both and personally prefer Mantis (Which is an unpopular opinion).
Steel Vengeance...
Top Thrill Dragster had a good campaign too!
And to think... in 3 years it'll be 20 years old.
Feeling old yet?
NorfolkSouthernStorm As of this May it now is
Yes!!!! Its officially 20 years old now
Here
2️⃣0️⃣
2:58 We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close!
😭😭😭
but then dragster
it lit up my heart hearing that they added the “greatest thrill ride ever” line from this ad to the actual ride now. it plays every time the train leaves :,)
If you look at Millenium Force from a distance, you'll notice that its lift and drop, and its first overbanked turn form the "M" shown in this video.
Yeah everyone kows this
Feel like I'm watching this in 99 I still remember seeing it on our local news channels. *lives close to Cedar Point* we rode it it's debut year... hasn't changed for me 🙌🏽🙏🏽👍🏽😊
Love the world records cedar fair uses on their coasters, highest drop, highest hill, longest time taken on drop, longest top-bottom drop, tallest hill with drop, tallest hill without drop
Darkest shade of blue on a steel coaster in the east coast, tallest rollercoaster that's an even number
Best coaster named
Millennium Force
@Owen Davies, very true and I love the profile picture
Even with the actual records it claimed they got into a fight with Magic Mountain over it
Better than any movie trailer in the past 22 years.
Here I am looking at Fury 325 and all these other new Giga's thinking to myself, "man, everyone's quick to pickup the new giga-hype". Little did I know Millennium Force was made almost 20 years ago.....
So far ahead of it's time.
And the crazy thing is it doesn’t feel like it’s 20 years old. It feels like it was built in the last 5-6 years.
This is how I got stats on the size of elements when I made a recreation of Millie.
We get this.
When millennium force was actually scary.
I mean some people are scared of it not me but...
oo so edgy
That first drop will never not be scary to me. My only wish is that the rest of the ride did a little bit more. It’s over too soon
Frank Dufek That's why I perfer Magnum Xl 200. After the first drop, you immediately go up a huge airtime hill.
Yea true. Only good part in my opinion is the drop but thats it. Personally i prefer magnum over millie
Honestly this is one of the best videos to ever exist
It will be turning 20 years old next year.Damn
YOU HAVE JUST BROKEN 10 WORLD RECORDS
I’m incredibly happy seeing this ad crop up as a copypasta now
This trailer still hypes me up now and I’ve already ridden this!! Lol best coaster ever made
The jangly guitar chords at 1:57 are spectacular...........perfect mood to set the stage for the greatest roller coaster ever built.
Sounds like 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite" (the end of the song has similar guitars.)
This video got me through the winter of 1999-2000! I can say proudly, my father and I were there for Millennium Force's open on that awesome day in May, along with probably Cedar Point's all time opening day record crowd! They had to close the park for entry because of the crowd and the wait was well over 4 hours, but worth every second of it! First time I EVER grayed out because of speed on a coaster!!!!!
No one could ever convince me that Millennium Force had the absolute greatest promotional campaign in the history of the amusement industry, and this is coming from someone who was only an infant when this ride was announced to the awestruck world.
That was so cool.
I was 11 years old standing at the new ride when it first came out still the best coaster in the world
Its 2021 and I'm still hyped to go on
Wow! The Force is 20 years old?! That makes me feel old. I was 10 when it was new.
The immortal coaster 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💙💥
love this music! my #1 coaster in the world
There is no advertising better than this
Whenever I hear Mille’s soundtrack, I know it’s a warning to either run to millennium force or risk it all..
As soon as someone says Millennium Force I can hear the station music
go to steel vengeance
Happy 17th Millie!
I could imagine seeing this in the 90s and being like holy shit this is the future
17 years later and this video is still awesome
1:39 That sound always gets me goosebumps
Same!!!
This is incredible. Watching this in 2022 gives me chills. Back then it must've been surreal watching a ride break the 300 ft barrier - like it'd be now with a ride breaking 500 feet, and not just being another Intamin stat monster accelerator. Wish I could've ridden it when it came out, but just glad to have experienced it 21 years later.
This trailer got them into a fight with Magic Mountain over Superman: Escape From Krypton. The height was debatable considering Superman was a shuttle coaster but it sure was faster at 100 mph. CP mocked it calling it a glorified drop tower.
@@hellacia8151Brainiac defo pissed about that
Falcon’s Flight Just announced today will be 640ft. More than double the size of Millennium. The OG giga will still have a place in my heart!
I’m glad such a phenomenal ride got an ad as good as this
“At the turn of the Millenium, there were signs...” whoever wrote that tag line is a genius I still get goosebumps
Let alone the official tag line “the future is riding on it.” This ride, love it or hate it, changed coaster forever. It made coaster modern. I mean for a coaster being 20 years old. It still feels like a new 2019-2020-2021 coaster.
Hard to believe a coaster this smooth was built in 1999
Rode Millennium Force for the first time in 2014. It was my 50th credit. I loved Mille and always will. However Mille is ranked 3 at Cedar Point for me next to Maverick and Steel Vengeance.
The only commercial I’ll watch
I love the station music!
I vividly remember my 10 year old self seeing this for the first time. Literally made me cry.
Lol this video is pretty intense
Amost 18 years and still a fanboy favorite.
Now THAT'S a great ad!! Wow!
20yrs old and I still love this ride 😊. #Millenniumforce4life
For sure...One of my favorites
20 Years, baby!
Too cool!!!!!! Still my favorite ride in the park after 13 years! So smooth that I rode it when I was 4 months pregnant with my son (I didnt know I was). Now today we ride it together over and over!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to hear that music again next year!
Ha ha same
I still get chills from watching this!
This is the only time I wouldn't be mad about getting an unskippable ad
This brings back nostalgia for me
Cedar point nailed it with the space/alien theme and concept of this coaster. Has always been one of my favorites since I was a kid 👏🏼
Edit: Getting off this ride truly feels like you just got back from outerspace and your body has to get used to the gravity again.
Happy 20th Anniversary to Millennium Force!!! The future has been riding for 20 years.
MAN I WISH I WAS ALIVE FOR THIS WHEN IT CAME OUT
This has to be one of the shortest lived records in rollercoaster history
Chills every time
Pretty nice.
That was better than I thought it would be
Just looking back and seeing this is crazy. It would be so cool if there was a nostalgic ad version for the top thrill two! I would love to watch it!
I get it.
THE FUTURE IS RIDDING ON IT
Is this ride really 15 years old? Wow...
Ikr it doesn't feel like it at all. So smooth.
Rock&Roll_Pat Not even that.. I remember when this ride first came out. I'm getting old. lol..
MysTaria87 18 now
the ride will be 20 in 2 years
Actually it is 17.
Top 3 at Cedar Point imo
1) Steel Vengeance
2) Millennium Force
3) Maverick
Agreed.
Imo
1. SteVe
2. Mille
3. Ttd
4. Maverick
5. Magnum
6. Wicked Twister
7. Gatekeeper
8. Valravn
9. Rougarou
10. Iron Dragon
@@tismejaytee Nice to see someone else likes Wicked Twister too! A very underrated ride. I had TTD as my 3rd for a few years but due to its reliability and length I put maverick over it.
Coaster I’ve actually never been to Cedar Point, this is just judging by how the ride looks. I hope to go someday, though!
@@tismejaytee Oh. Well, I'd lower your expectations for Magnum and raise your expectations for Gatekeeper
" The future is riding on it" oh brother
20 Years of Greatness
STILL THE BEST COASTER ON THE PLANET
This video kinda makes me wanna ride millennium force
I'm going this summer along with Danny!
WAIT SPONGEBOB! WERE NOT CAVEMEN! We have technology.
Chills.
The 90's in a Nutshell
Will it be still there for the next millennium 🤔🤔🤔 😮 YES
This ad is so cool! It would seem much scarier if I hadn’t just ridden I305 and had those banked turns in my mind. Those are no joke. My first giga too.
They really hyped it up. They marketed this ride well. We were all very excited for this coaster!
I wish the ride had this kind of theming
The music hits
they said its 92 mph but its 93 now
FLC They were wrong by one Mph and eventually figured out it ranges from 92-94
For 1999, that simulation is pretty good
This is pretty much the coolest thing ever.
From this promo.
Ah, 1999. Dk64, millennium force and y2k. Good times (i was born in the early 2000s)
Don’t u wish u were born in the 90s
Toonami.
The digital pov footage of the ride used in the promo was its own thing later on. I think through Shockwave player ...lol. rip.
When your in line right about to get on they play the song in the video
“Most roller coasters at one park, most steel roller coasters at one park, most roller coaster track at one park”
Yeah we get it, you have a lot of coasters.
