One word can describe Magnum XL-200: classic. One could argue that this is the most influencial coaster of all time. The first over the unthinkable(at one time) height of 200 ft. Now coasters top the 200 ft. plataeu with regularity. Now with Millenium Force right next door, Magnum now seems a little old and weak. Dont be mistaken though, this coaster will always be a monster on its own. The only knock on this coaster could be its rather boring design. It is an out and back to the truest defintion. Only a few tunnels give it a mix up. Perhaps its aging has lead to it becoming much rougher over the years which brings it down a bit but not much. The first drop still holds a mean punch and it is an awesome feeling. This started the hyper-coaster craze, but as one would expect has been passed up by many newwer rides. But a coaster freak must make the pilgrimmage to Cedar Point at least once to ride the source element.
