 Review of Magnum XL-200 @ Cedar Point
0 Rating Posted by: coaster05 on 3/21/2004 12:18:00 PM
The ride that finally got rid of any lingering coaster fear. After I rode this ride I officially becoame a coaster guy. For years I viewed this as just too much for me too handle. But thanks to my dad pushing me down and strapping in my lap bar I overcame my fear. Now it is just a great story to tell people while Im waiting in line. Ill even admit I was 19 before I could make myself ride it.EDIT-After my last couple experiences have shown me that this review needs rewritten. The orginal is still true, but the rating is not. APPEARANCE-7 I never really liked the look to begin with and now it appears really dated. The view is still fantastic though. CAPACITY-9 Still very good but the way they designed the station cause a huge logjam around the front. If you use that to your advantage you may save some time. RIDE QUALITY-8 Always has been a little rough and always will be. However on my last visit it just felt slower so that was my reduction here. FUN-7 Still remember the rush of the first ride, but while it is still good it has sort of a job like feel now. RERIDE-7 A long way from the guaranteed reride of the old days, but still worth riding if the time is right. OVERALL-38 AVG-7.6 I will go with an 8 since I have still had more good rides then bad, but it is no longer a top ride on my list.

Updated review if anyone is interested. Man it takes forever to go over all the CP reviews.

Rich - I didnt realize you were such a wuss until you were 19 . Regarding the station was I was there last May for 3 days there was actually a worker at the turnstiles keep the station orderly for about half a day. Since it was May (not a full staff yet) I thought that might be why the station was unmanageable but it apears that is not the case.

Larry my wife says the same thing. She figured I was like 10 when that story happened. We were there in August and the station was a mess.
