The only reason that I cant give Magnum a 10, is because its not Millenium Force. MF redefines what it means to be a 10. I was very pleased that I first rode Magnum before MF, because I got to thoroughly enjoy the experience. It is a great, great coaster--not only because of its thrilling first drop, but also the subsequent hills and bunny hops. The hops in the tunnels are especially effective in delivering the thrills. I later rode Magnum after MF, and it didnt seem to pack quite the same punch. Somehow Magnums first drop loses more than a little luster once youve stared death in the face on Millenium Force. So, if possible, try to save the Force until after youve enjoyed this classic.
