Ride Workbook The Tower of Doom is located at Six Flags of America, Largo, Maryland. The riders plunge into free fall from a height of 150 feet. This ride has magnetic brakes to cushion the descent. Millennium Force’s initial hill has a steepness angle of 80°. At that angle, the riders swear that they are in free fall. Millennium Force is located at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio. On the Roll-O-Plane ride, the cars roll around as the arm rotates. It is located in Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.
