This is a great ride all around. The lift hill seems to never end. When you do get there, you are up for a wild ride. The first drop is absolutely fabulous. The second drop into a tunnel that looks like the size of a quarter from the top of it. The helix at the far end is the only downfall. It seems to turn to wide and have very little force. I think the large bunny hops coming back to the station are the highlight of the ride. One is completely enclosed in a tunnel. This ride is great. Enjoy it over and over. My home park in Kansas City has a Morgan hypercoaster also (but ours is better [shameless plug])

The Magnum is still an awesome ride even though the Millenium and Top Thrill Dragster are much higher. I first rode the Magnum 15 years ago and I fell in love with it. Ultra smooth and a breathtaking view of Lake Erie at the top of the first hill and the entire ride(you feel like you are riding right alongside). Everytime I get off of this ride to this day I jump out forgetting to unbuckle my seatbelt. Sheer excitement. Great job Arrow Dynamics!

Magnum XL-200s definitely a hyper worth mentioning. It may be only 1/2 the size of TTD & 105 ft. shorter than MF, but dont let that size fool you b/c it packs one heck of a punce. Going up the 205 ft. lift hill was soem else b/c the view of Lake Erie was beautiful. I actually thought that I could see my home state, PA, from it too. The first drop was great. The airtime was so extreme & I loved all of the airtime hills, especially the last hill in the tunnel as it always catches me by surprise. Going through the pretzel loop was very intense & unique. Definitely ride Magnum XL-200 when youre at CP b/c Maggie shows you a ride that started the whole hypercoaster craze & can still compete w/modern hypers today. Maggies definitely Top 10 Material on any coaster enthusiasts list as it has made mine easily.

I thought this would be a really smooth and fun coaster, but I was kinda mistaken. The loading station is really messed up. Cedar Point should really do something about it. Well, there was some air, but not as much as I expected. And it was rough! People say to sit in the back, because there, its not as rough. And, the tunnels made me really hot. I thought the pretzel thingy would be more intense than it was. I did like the views however. And, I really dont like the trains. They do not match at all! But, I think it was a good, not great, ride, so Ill give it a 7.

.:EDIT:. - I was sitting in what I thought was the ejector seat, 1st car, second row.

i tell you what, i rode magnum for the first time in 2000, AFTER i just got off millenium force. and magnum kicked MF on the arse! to me, coasters are a poem for your nervous system. as you go through its course, you should feel the ride speaking to you, revealing its personality. a coaster with a strong first drop makes a fine impression, but a boring remainder does not endear one to a coaster. lack of substance and nuance is a regrettable trait. it is this reason that i went home thinking more of magnum than mf. mf, IMHO, was too contained, its persona a bit of a queen, frankly. perfect and powerful, but restrained and conservative. magnum on the other hand, actually kinda scared me in a few places. the design has plenty personality from the drawing board (read: bizarre arrow engineering), and it has also "aged" into some charactor as well. put simply, it is a righteously paced and fascinating ride! for instance, there is a mean little bunny hop inside of a tunnel near the end. its pretty nasty! as you finish in the station, you have the footprint in your mind of that unexpected pitch black airtime, and you find that you are breathless with a big smile on your face. the first and second hill were both fantastic, fun and fast. the bunny hills feel out of control and the shakey ride is out of this world. it feels somewhat like a woody. i think in fact the woody renaissance of the nineties was brought about due to this ride. this ride ended the dreadful eighties era of loops loops and more loops, bringing attention back to layouts, sheer drops, lap bars and negative Gs. as of now, magnum is the only thing calling me back to CP.

While looking like its Pennsylvania cousin Steel Force, Magnum has quite a different disposition. The thing is, I like Steel Forces disposition a whole lot more than Magnums. Steel Force has a gracefull feeling with floating air time on all hills and strong forces in the helix turnaround. Magnum as "slam in your seat" air on the hills (especially the oversized bunny hops on the return trip) and a turn around that, while looking interesting, is relatively uneventful. Not sure if the painful air is a result of Morgans track transitions on SF compared to Arrows transitions on Magnum, or the design or the more comfortable design of the trains on Steel Force.

really fun! It has everything you would want in a rollercoaster! My favourite ride so far this year! Definately ride it if you go to Cedar Point!

Awesome coaster with rarely any wait. The history of this ride adds to much to the excitement factor for me--it was the first modern coaster by how I define it. I have been on this a countless number of times and I have yet to grow tired of it. The first drop still is powerful and full of speed. The ending, with all the bunny hops, is brilliant, with airtime everywhere. Really a masterpiece of a coaster that defines what the modern coaster should be.

Magnum Rocks! It has the intensity and speed of a steel coaster but is also rough and "rickety" like the wooden coasters. Magnum has everything that a coaster fan really wants, a big first hill, high speeds, dark tunnels and airtime. Magnum is basically a mini-sized Millenium Force. Although the chain lift is a little or rather a lot slow Magnum is a great ride and is a Cedar Point must ride1

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.
