Magnum XL-200

Magnum XL-200

Magnum XL-200 is one of Cedar Point’s most iconic and historically significant steel roller coasters, renowned for being the first coaster in the world to top 200 feet in height when it opened in 1989. This classic hyper-coaster climbs to about 205 feet before plunging down a dramatic first drop and racing along an out-and-back course full of airtime hills, a sweeping turnaround, and even tunnels. Riders can reach speeds around 72 mph, and the ride’s combination of height, speed, and sustained airtime has made it a must-ride for thrill-seekers and coaster enthusiasts alike — a true legend that helped kick off modern coaster design rivalries known as the “coaster wars.”
