Took my first trip to Cedar Point last year.The slow chain lift on Magnum is really unnerving. I rode with a friend and the whole time was just long enough to doubt why I got on. The ride still remains my favorite.
LOVE THIS RIDE, IT IS AWESOME! yes, it is a little rough, but that's what handmade coasters that are 25 years old do. At the end where you do all those little hills is my favorite part. At the end I was laughing a lot once we stopped on how fun it was.
@Jacomelo117 Yes, you're right: Historically, Lake Erie is infamous for being the most polluted of the five Great Lakes. However, much has been done to clean it up in the past thirty years or so, I'd say. And, one of my best memories of the Magnum is the moment is when you when seemingly fly out into space at high speed, with nothing but the beautiful blue expanse of Lake Erie before you. It looked pretty damned good to me! ;)
I'm 6'3 and this was the worst roller coaster I been on. Not because it sucked, but because my legs were too long and the lap bar pushed down on my legs. Anytime the coaster turned and went over hills , it hurt like HELL.
I loved Magnum XL 200, but, good lord, what a beating it gave me. Gemini took me by surprise. I was amazed at how good of a wooden coaster it was. I will probably never ride Blue Streak again. It was way to painful to ride. I rode all of the coasters except TTD, MF, and Maverick.
Cedar Fair Didn't make the coasters, Magnum was designed by Arrow Dynamics. Millennium Force was designed by Intamin World Wide. Independent companys that design coaster for other park operators like Six Flags.
Despite what was said here Magnum was designed using computers and the track consists of a mix of custom and standard prefabricated parts by Arrow Dynamics. A lot of the roughness is due to imperfect design, a dedication to said prefab parts to keep cost in check and some conscience efforts by Arrow to make their rides more durable. The banking entering and exiting turns on Arrows are heartlined around the train's center of mass (rather than the rider) to prevent laterally stressing the track.
@RadioMuse1 The result of that sort of heartlining is that it is much rougher for passengers and the prefab parts are what result in the violent bunnyhills on the return trip. The ride was NOT entirely designed in a cad systems and checked out before hand, however certain important curves/transitions/elements were certainly "mathed" quite thoroughly to ensure safe and decently comfortable forces. In the era before B&M and Intamin people accepted that steel coasters were a bit rough...
@BobBarkerYeahThatOne Not always true, but most of the time it is. Viper at Six Flags Great America was the only coaster designed and manufactured by Six Flags Theme Parks Inc.
@mrspeel7 ha! I love living so close to the lake you can hear the waves, it makes my summer, MINUS THE FREAKING MAY FLYS!!!! only living 10 minutes away from the "best park on the planet" makes everything worth it.
@MontagnaMagica MS was not considered a "true coaster" because it did not actually take all of its riders to 200+ feet. I have to say- that's not exactly fair, but MS was not official.
@jjjjentges The companies do manufacture the ride, but the design of the coasters are a two-way deal. It was Cedar Point's idea to build a 200 foot coaster. And track was made being bent and assembled in the park like it says in 0:27 . The park executives are the ones who pitch the ideas and give space estimates and land size requirements, with a lot of design contributions. Parks ("clients") work with the companies, and no single park (or chain) designs a coaster alone- including Six Flags.
I didn't ride TTD because I was way too chicken. I wanted to save MF for the end of the day because I knew it would be the best. Unfortunately, my friends stomach was turning really, really bad. I didn't want him to puke on me and I was not brave enough to ride it by myself. I skipped over maverick because the wait was never under 45 minutes. I will be going back to CP next year. It will be my second trip to the park. I will be sure to ride MF and Maverick next time around.
Grow some balls. Smh this is the saddest Cedar Point experience I have ever heard. You didn’t ride MF because you were afraid of riding it by yourself? LoL there would have been a train full of people with you and someone sitting next to you.
they try and make it sound like ur gonna die u wanna feel pain blue streak and the mean streak those hurt and the hills at the end hurt just like the bluestreak
on my second time on i had my feet pushing against the front of the seat one hand holding on to the rail and the other on the actual handle...WORST POSITION EVER!

Mines to the chain hill gets my aniexty running its nerve racking
Magnum is awesome especially going through the bunny hills .

AIRTIME IS EPIC ON THIS RIDE!
I love the slow chain lift. The climb is the scariest part of the ride.
My camera fell out of my pocket and I caught it mid-air on this. awesome ride.
Long live the Magnum!
Lol "The ride is basically about to fall to peices any day now, but that's what gives it it's character"
WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT SIT IN THE BACK. IT HURTS TO HIGH HEAVENS! (just went on it yesterday)
Over a minute to get to the top? No wonder they operate three trains on that bad boy.
A ride called the Maverick at Cedar Point has 6 trains on it
AndrebaGames Except their short. Really short.
The Lenny Leggo Show ya
Seriously really short it's got six total seats
Cool and next time you go you HAVE to go on the Mavrick it is amazing.
Wow they reeeaaalllyyyy over-exaggerated this. The structure does not sway or shake. Give me a freaking break, it's not that bad. Stupid media.

Hey,You could've posted part 2 of Magnum XL 200.But it's fine the way it is.
WTF? 2 minutes? Where's the rest of it?
Moonsault Scramble was actually the first roller coaster to exceed 200 feet in height. It was located at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan.

omg this ride hurts so fucking bad
@zunedog31 Oh yeah, you're definitely pampered. Magnum is rough around the edges. You kind of have to learn to ride it.
Is this going to be on Disney+?
This ride is very bumpy lol. Its fun, but at the same time its not as fun as people say.
Im 6 foot 4 and i dont fit well in these rides anymore. :( this ride hurts really bad cuz i dont fit well in it.
went on this 4 times a few weeks ago the line was 15 min at the longest
Nope. Still running and still a fun ride.
i was there last year, long line!
I got there right when it opens and I didn't have to wait in line for it
what show was this
Best ride they have
wtf no. it hurts so bad. it isnt worth the wait.
just rode it yestarday waited 1hour to ride
this thing beat the shit out of me! but not as bad as mean streak!!!
thats ur opion i like it better than those espescaily dragster because it goes up them down thats it
1:42... Cleveland? or Carl Winslow?
Up them down?
I know, right?
waited 2 minutes to ride. i rode it 3 times in under 30 minutes.
@zunedog31 Nah, it's only bumpy in the back
@musicxisxlifexx03 Yeah, national geographic has a strange way of making things sound much more dangerous than they really are.

@PingPong440 i was second row. i cant imagine what the back is like. maybe im just pampered by busch gardens europe
they try and make it sound like ur gonna die u wanna feel pain blue streak and the mean streak those hurt and the hills at the end hurt just like the bluestreak
nope, its still there and running
Would love to shake Monty Jasper's hand and thank him.
on my second time on i had my feet pushing against the front of the seat one hand holding on to the rail and the other on the actual handle...WORST POSITION EVER!
Nope still there... amazingly... haha
@Jacomelo117 My God, I'm jealous of you, for living where you do.
Um - except for the may fly part, that is!
0:40 i wanna see the coaster come and hit him
since when is Lake Erie EVER that blue???? its the dirtiest lake out of the five great lakes. I think..
@ClassicGamer88 there baby! lol!
1:50
Well this was reassuring. . . . HMMM >:-l
A horse duh!?
Although millennium force is taller and faster, it feels sterile and lifeless compared to Magnum. . . Just like most technology.
Are you kidding me? The Maverick and the Dragster are WAY better! And the Millinium is WAY WAY WAYYY better
I hate this ride for one reason i lost my phone and money while riding.
Damn i lost my phone on that shit too....Im still fucking pissed. Smdh but i loved the ride.
This fucking thing is so rough! It was a BIG disappointment.
It beat the hell out of me, too. I've been on it twice. Never again. I can't do Blue Streak or Corkscrew anymore, either.
