The Magnum XL-200 is the most historic coaster in the park and the most historic in my mind. The first hypercoaster to ever graze the planet and what a rush it still provides. The crazy dips at the end of the ride provide so much hardcore airtime that your gut gets a grand beating. I love the astonishing G-Forces and the advertisement for the ride when it first came out was definently right by saying how intense the ride was and that it was outworldly. My first ride I was so caught up in the myth of the ride that staring at it gave me chills. This ride started it all I thought and I was glad to be riding the "original" in all respects. I loved the pretzel loop at the halfway point of the ride and it gave a nice relaxing sensation as well. The camel humps on the way back are extremely intense and are still the best in that I have ever been on. The magnum is a 9 only because more thrilling rides have been produced but still will never drop below this rating for me. Long live the most classic coaster in my opinion.
