The Godfather of the hypercoasters! Magnum XL-200 started it all. This coaster was way ahead of its time in 1989. 10 years after its creation, coasters of similar design, speed, and height were being built. Example, Superman at Six Slags America. Magnum brought back the fear of speed and the fear of height, reinvigorating the coaster world. This was the most important thing to happen to coasterdom since John A. Miller invented the upstop wheel and put it to excellent (much needed) use on the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. Magnum XL-200 is famous worldwide for good reason. Its simply one of the best coasters ever built.
