Earlier this summer Coaster101's Nick Weisenberger wrote an extensive article about the history of Millennium Force to celebrate the iconic roller coaster's 20th anniversary. Today on the podcast, Nick joins Eric to go into some of that history, explaining how the decision to build the ride came about, what company almost built it, and the key technological innovations of the ride. We also talk a little bit about whether Millennium Force holds up, and its legacy in the theme park industry. Be sure to check out the full article here: https://c101.co/34Ls0As
