Honestly, it was painful. And loud during the tunnels. I got off it uncomfortable and wondering how in the world it got its reputation. I'm not saying to skip it, because you should at least ride it for yourself before complaining about it.

ABSOLUTLY HATE this ride!!!!!!!!!! Its has EVERYTING that i would HATE on a roller coaster!!!!!!!!!! The lift hill is VERY SLOW and OLD, The first drop is NOT steep, VERY BUMPY, The cars./trains are VERY SMALL and TIGHT, LOOSES speed VERY quickly and the airtime on this ride is VERY POOR!!!!!!!!!! Cedar Point NEEDS to get the brains to tare the ride down at NEEDS to put up a Hyper Coaster!!!!!!!!! This ride SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS RIDE SUCKS. It killed my legs, and i didnt find it thrilling at all. It was bumpy and the restraints are awful.

I hate this ride. After a B&M hyper, the airtime is very poor. The tunnels were crazy loud, the ride hurt my head and my legs, and I would not ride it again for less than $100.

This one is food but made me a little sick when we went through the tunnles. Definetly go at night. The line is very short but is still very fun. Every drop makes my stomache come out of mouth. This is a for sure fide but not really my cup of tea even tho i did enjoy it : >

My favorite ride. The liftime is super long but worth it if the line is short.

An instant classic! The lift hill is horribly slow, though. (There are 39 lamps and 6 telephones on the lift hill!) It can be a bit rough at times, espically if you're small. The air time is wonderful, though. Don't just pass it by-- make sure you visit! Lines are often short, especially after a rain. You can often hop on Magnum twice or 3 times in a row before significant lines build up.

I absolutely love this ride. Air time on this one is incredible.

As most coaster enthusiasts are aware, Magnum was the first coaster that broke the 200 foot barrier back in 1989. At that time, I was a junior in high school and was not aware that the Coaster Wars had begun between Cedar Point and Magic Mountain in California. The building of Magnum was the first shot fired which led to other larger and faster coasters such as Superman: The Escape, Goliath, Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster. However, Magnum started it all and is arguably still the best of those listed above in the minds of many. Magnum is still smooth with an abundant amount of airtime, particularly on the bunny hills leading back to the station on the return trip. The view of Lake Erie cresting the top of the lift hill is gorgeous and the speed (over 70 mph) is still top notch. The kidney shaped turnaround is probably the least enjoyable element has it is a very awkward transition and way of turning around a train. One word of advice. Magnum gets some bad reviews due to what many riders &quot..roughness&quot... I can offer some agreement with these statements however I think I have discovered the problem. When entering the station, you will that the train are designed to hold three rows of two seats per &quot..car&quot... The back seat in each of these cars has a steel box in the floor. These boxes, according to a ride operator, contain the wheels. It is in these cars, riding directly above the wheels on the track, are the places of some of the roughest rides I have had. I recommend therefore, to avoid the third row in each car which includes the very back seat on the train: one of the most popular seats on large hyper coasters. So keep in mind when you enter the station, do not sit in any of the third rows of seats on the train. The other seats are much smoother and offer just as much airtime without the jerkiness riding above the wheels gives. Lastly, Magnum is a great coaster to close down the park on. As crowds thin out, the middle rows of the train are normally blocked off since the very efficient station crew always runs three trains and the ride is not as popular as it once was. When the car is not full, the opportunity is there for the mid-course brakes to not kick in leading to an insane second half of the ride. That happened to us once and was one of our best coaster rides ever. The bunny hills were literally throwing us out of the seat since the train was only half full and the brakes did not slow us down at all. Zipping through the cool night air and flying over filled hills at well over 50 mph is an awesome way to close down Cedar Point. Despite many coasters which may be considered &quot..better&quot.., Magnum still holds a place in the Coaster Reviews Top 20 and should stay there for many years to come. It is a fun ride which started the wave of giant steel coasters we still see today.

Magnum XL 200 is a coaster often over looked at Cedar Point with new bigger faster better rides being put in every year or two. But it certainly should NOT be overlooked for it is once crazy ride. ALthough there are claims of Magnum being rough I found no such roughness what so ever. The coaster begins it 200+ foot ascent slowly with a traditional click clack chain that gives you alot of time to take in the view you get from the coaster. But don&#39.t look for too long because after that you plummet 200 feet down to the ground and back up into a massive hill which treated us with some great floater air. The hill turns slightly to the left and back down again into a tunnel and upinto another airtime hill which provided some more great floater air. We then continued on into the very forceful yet shaky pretzel turn. After the turn came the most intense set of airtime hills one could experience, some immersed in darkness and some flying high into the sky. It seems as if with every passing hill magnum increases its speed adding to the insane upward thrust the ejects you from your seat, although insanely fun the airtime can hurt a bit with those restraints. Magnum never lets up in this array of turn plummeting extreme airtime hills. Overall Magnum is a classic coaster that has and will thrill riders with intensity and airtime for years to come.
