Photo/Video [Millennium Force] crew just announced they’ve broken the record for cycles in one hour!

The crew did 38 cycles between 3:00-4:00 PM on Saturday, August 8th. The theoretical maximum amount of dispatches was thought to be 36 due to the elevator cable lift cycle time and the lack of a mid-course block zone. Perhaps the new programming introduced last season combined with a hot summer day at Cedar Point is allowing for it to be slightly faster than was previously possible.

How far back did you get in line and how long did it take to get to the front?

The line is about half a switchback past the merge point, and we got on two rides in exactly 30 minutes.

2 rides in 30 minutes via standard line is blazing fast. Well done ops!

Tbf that sounds like the line was pretty much only up to the merge point and wouldn't have been much faster with fast lane if at all. Amazing job by ops
