'''Millennium Force''' is a [[steel roller coaster]] located at [[Cedar Point]] amusement park in [[Sandusky, Ohio]], United States. Manufactured by [[Intamin]], it was the park's fourteenth roller coaster when it opened in 2000, dating back to the opening of [[Blue Streak (Cedar Point)|Blue Streak]] in 1964. Upon completion, Millennium Force broke five world records and was the world's first ''[[Roller coaster#By height|giga coaster]]'', a term coined by Intamin and Cedar Point to represent a roller coaster that exceeds {{convert|300|ft}} in height. It was briefly the [[List of roller coaster rankings#Tallest steel roller coasters|tallest]] and [[List of roller coaster rankings#Fastest steel roller coasters|fastest]] in the world until [[Steel Dragon 2000]] opened later the same year. The ride is also the third-longest roller coaster in North America following [[The Beast (roller coaster)|The Beast]] at [[Kings Island]] and [[Fury 325]] at [[Carowinds]].

Millennium Force features a {{convert|310|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}} cable lift hill with a {{convert|300|ft|m|adj=on}} drop, two tunnels, three [[Roller coaster elements#Overbanked turn|overbanked turns]], and three hills. The coaster also has a top speed of {{convert|93|mph|abbr=on}}. Since its debut, Millennium Force has been voted the number one steel roller coaster ten times in ''[[Amusement Today]]''<nowiki/>'s annual [[Amusement Today#Golden Ticket Awards|Golden Ticket Awards]]. Although Millennium Force has been surpassed in height and speed, it remains one of the tallest and fastest coasters in the world.<ref name="Height">{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=Record Holders|location=Statistic: Height|access-date=November 29, 2018|url=https://rcdb.com/rhr.htm?m=1}}</ref><ref name="Speed">{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=Record Holders|location=Statistic: Speed|access-date=November 29, 2018|url=http://rcdb.com/rhr.htm}}</ref>
