25 days of coasters / 21. magnum xl-200, cedar point # of rides: 37 / last ridden: fall 2024
a very long overdue addition into my top 25! this ride is an absolute masterpiece; from how it operates with 3 trains, the absolute blast of a ride experience, & the powerful finale. i hadn't felt like i was able to truly appreciate just how good this ride was until i got the chance to work it for my final few months at cedar point. it was completely revolutionary for its time and holds up INCREDIBLY well today.
i've had multiple rides where i'd put it as my second favorite in the park, though that'd really mess up my overall rankings ... but really! it's just so good. i love the jank, the airtime, the music, the theme, the tunnels, and i absolutely loved operating it with 3 trains. the night rides are FANTASTIC, especially when the water park is completely dark ... i love how it's still almost so trapped in the 1980's, yet that doesn't deter it from being one of the best rides overall today.
trimless row 3 is an out of body experience. please give this ride more love because it deserves it & i don't find the experience that painful at all. it's just jank & old which adds so much to the charm!
