 Review of Magnum XL-200 @ Cedar Point
-2 Rating Posted by: woofboy111 on 2/4/2004 3:03:00 PM
I was expecting a coaster that was sort of like Millenium force, but not as tall with some other elements in it. I was wrong. This was the most painful ride I went on at Cedar Point. I have a feeling it was because the ride operator in the station pushed my lapbar down probably a few clicks past where it should have been. So I was in pain before the ride started actually since the lap bar was cutting off ciruclation in my legs. Then once the ride started, after going down the first hill where I should have gotten some air time, I got pulled up tighter against my lap bar, and this is how the whole ride went. My legs were numb after the ride was over. My rating would have probably been a lot higher if I wasnt in pain during the ride.

While I love this ride, I respect your honesty in the review. Its hard to give a rating like that to a high-rated ride. I myself didnt find the ride rough, but I know some people have.

Well, the ride wasnt exactly rough. It was a little rougher than Millenium Force, but it was just very painfull because of how tight they jammed the lap bar down on my legs. I sort of wish that I would have given the ride another chance that day to ride it without having the circulation cut off in my legs (no one else that I was with had this happen to them). I probably would have liked it better, because the ride does have a good review.

But then again, itll probably be a really long time until I get to ride the ride again because Ohio is sort of far from Florida where I live.

I dont think its really fair to compair MF and Magnum. Magnum is 11 yrs older than MF and the technology that existed when MF was built is so much better than Magnum. Another thing that seperates these coasters are the trains themselves. MF is so much more comfortable than Magnum, MF has seats that have headrests and the lap bars are a lot more secure and the trains are not cramped like Magnum. Considering the age of Magnum and the way the trains and restraints are, I got what I expeced out of a coaster thats 15 yrs old. A great coaster but one thats been surpassed by bigger and better.
