Millennium Roller Coaster

Millennium Roller Coaster is a roller coaster at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, England. It was built by Vekoma, a Dutch roller coaster manufacturer, to celebrate the arrival of the new millennium but despite its name, was opened in May 1999. It was Fantasy Island's first "Extreme Thrill Ride", and circles the parks centre piece, the Pyramid. Layout and operationThe ride features a vertical loop, a side winder and another loop. It finishes in a low helix, which swoops down to a level just above head height of those in the amusement park, frequently startling the unsuspecting public. Some of Millennium Roller Coaster's track is intertwined with Jubilee Odyssey's, providing some Headchoppers especially when near Jubilee Odyssey's supports. Like Jubilee Odyssey, Millennium Roller Coaster is also affected by high winds (though not as badly as Jubilee Odyssey) and so in the case of bad weather or high winds Millennium Roller Coaster will not operate. With a top speed of 55. 9 mph, it is the seventh fastest roller coaster in the UK. It is also the fourth tallest British roller coaster, with a maximum height of 45. 5 metres. With its striking yellow and red paintwork, it can be seen from several miles away on the approach to Fantasy Island.
