October 15, 200817 yr Something I forgot to add: On my first ride on Millie on Sunday, it finally happened. At the bottom of the first hill, I got that light headed feeling, it got more intense, and I was looking at the world through gray-colored glasses for a second.. then I saw white sparkles, and the feeling went away about halfway through the first overbanked turn. It lasted about 2-3 seconds. In the 37 times I've ridden Millie, there have been 2 other times when I've seen little white dots at the bottom of the hill, but that was the first time I've ever grayed out on it. Yeah, that happened to me earlier this season, but I think it was because I was really hungry...on those 10 am-7 pm May weekdays I usually only buy drinks at CP and eat a few granola bars I have in my pocket, but riding MF hungry isn't always the best move!!

I know. It only happened to me once, then I ran back and rode it again.. nothing happened.
April 4, 200917 yr Just saw your post, I was there that weekend. We should have picked a different weekend to go, it was warm both days we went, Friday and Sunday. So it was busy, I remember going back to Hotel Breaks and see the parking lot filling up to the toll booths. Could not believe the line for Maverick , It was so hot out Saturday, I even got sunburn out at Put-In-Bay. I do believe Millennium Force hits 4.5 G's at the bottom of the first hill. Nice trip report.
