Cedar Point shares update on Millennium Force after some riders claim they no longer fit on the roller coaster due to shorter seat belts
Cedar Point’s Tony Clark says a repair is in the works to substitute the shorter seat belts.
SANDUSKY, Ohio — When Cedar Point opened for the 2026 season earlier this month, dialog began swirling on social media after some riders mentioned they might no longer fit on the Millennium Force roller coaster.
Some claimed the trip’s seat belts had been shortened from final 12 months, limiting their potential to climb aboard the coaster.
While some doubted if this was true, Cedar Point spokesperson Tony Clark has now set the file straight, telling 3News the seat belts are, the truth is, shorter this 12 months.
But a repair is in the works.
“Regarding Millennium Force, the ride’s manufacturer (Intamin) directly supplies the seat belts to Cedar Point, and it has been identified that they are shorter than the manufacturer’s specifications,” he informed 3News in an electronic mail. “We are working with them to replace the belts in the coming weeks.”
I’ve additionally shared the identical assertion on X.
Clark didn’t present an anticipated date on when the seat belts will likely be swapped.
Millennium Force, which opened in 2000, was the first roller coaster in the world to ever prime 300 ft. When it first debuted, the record-breaking coaster featured the longest drop with the quickest pace topping out at 93 mph.
