 Review of Magnum XL-200 @ Cedar Point
0 Rating Posted by: beastboy on 5/9/2004 5:21:00 AM
Back when I first rode this ride in 98, I couldnt imagine any ride ever being better than this one and to this day, thats not so far off the truth. The sheer fact that this coaster can still hold its own in the coaster industry 15 years after it was built, earns Magnum some serious acolaydes. For first timers to the Point, this will be the sleeper hit of the trip. Try not to get too caught up in the glitz and glammer of Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster because theres another world class coaster near the back of the park for a fraction of the wait. Uncomfortable and occasionally painful lapbars kept this ride from being a 10.

yeah, Im nearing that height. I seem to only encounter a problem in the front seat on the bunny hops on the trip back.

Im tall and the restraints that bug me the most are the horsecollars on arrow loopers, lapbars usually dont cause a problem, but Ive never ridden Magnum.

the lapbar thing is a little weird as I only encounter it on certain days. Other times, I have no problems. I guess that is what you get with a 15 year old Arrow ride.

Yeah. Nessie is 25 and I had problems with that because I was I had no elbow room

I think its just on those days that Maggie is running a little faster or the trim bakes are off and those bunny hills create ejector air forcing your thighs on the lapbar which has relatively no padding, now that I think about.
