Also you suck. Idiot.
You sound like you're saying MF sucks because Superman Ride of Steel kicks its ass.
Nobody gives it a chance because of dipholes like these. I rode it six years ago, before I knew anything about it actually being called a bad coaster, and I absolutely loved it and it instantly became my favorite coaster.
The drop on that ride is the best, most intense, longest, fastest drop I have EVER been on. I got great, sustained 0G's (not negative, just about flotation point) on the first camelback over the river. They could have shrunk the size of the two overbanks on the island to make it faster paced, yes, but there's really nothing wrong with them. The second hill, over the river, doesn't offer too too much, but I'm pretty sure I got close to 0 g's. Then the little hill by the station whipped me over, that's a great addition.
And another trait that many don't mention is its look. The lift hill / drop structure is still, in my opinion, the coolest, biggest, most behemoth looking coaster structure I've ever seen. It looks so spectacular standing there in its monstrosity when driving down the road for the park, you can just see MF towering with it's enormous supports. Another thing I like about it is that you can see it from almost anywhere. You can look over there and see this beautiful blue Intamin track, and watch the train fly over the very top of an element.
As many others have mentioned, it's for the general public too. Not just people that will judge the ride as soon as they hit the brakes and be sure to tell everyone how bad it is so that they don't give it a chance when they get there. People will look at it, and see parts of it all around the park over the trees. In fact, many don't even realize that the drop is way over by the lake and the overbank that they see sticking out is actually part of the ride. It just looks appealing, thrilling. And most of them haven't been on El Toro, Voyage, or whatever else I Love You! that the enthusiasts ride that they think is better than MF, so they find the ride very awesome when it's done. Millennium Force still continues to be the longest wait for a ride that I've ever seen.
And it's 8 years old.
That's all I have to say.
I love it, and always will.
