Only 1 coaster with more airtime & that's PowderKeg @ Silver Dollar City. The tunnels are awesome! The slow lift hill gives you time to get really nervous. Intensity: 7/10 - Will Gibson And the Magnum comes in thiiird!!! Before the millennium and the dragster this was my fav! great first drop! I dont care about loops and cork screws, as long as those hills give me butterflies! My dad took me on it when i was about 10 yrs old and at the time the magnum had the tallest hill i had ever been on.. i loved it.after words we got a picture printed out from right before we went down. Today I went with my friend and we saw the pictures after, I had to get it printed out because still,ten years later,i had the same expression on my face (but with out the oh "TISH"look ) - Ann Marie krystofek My fourth favorite ride in the park after mean streak, millenium force, and dragster. A better ride then apollos chariot and actually a real hypercoaster.9/10 - Steven D THIS RIDE IS THE BEST RIDE IN THE PARK. Sure its a little shakey but that makes the ride even more fun. Filled with TONS of airtime. 10/10 - Bob Miller This ride delivers the "best bang for your buck" at Cedar Point. Short lines, long ride duration, and airtime abound, this finely aged hypercoaster is rougher than some of Cedar Point's other coasters, and I will admit that it isn't for everybody. You have to learn to ride it, I think; my tip is to pull your seat belt as tight as possible, and it will somewhat cushion your legs from the hard lap bar when you experience ejector airtime. The most brutal rides occur when the trim brakes are off, and usually the ride operates this way following rain and during morning and late evening hours. The ride is certainly rougher in the back of the train, and beware seat 1-3, aptly dubbed the "ejector seat!" If lines exceed 30 minutes or so, leave and come back later. My favorite roller coaster of all time. 10/10 - Jamie Bennish We had mixed results in 2011. Some rides were really smooth and fun, and others were pretty jarring. We found the best spots were in the middle cars. The front and back were pretty rough, something we didn't experience last year. Maybe we just hit it on a bad day. We enjoyed it a lot more last year. - Roger S 7-It's a good ride with nice drops and airtime, but too rough, almost like riding a wooden coaster. - Justin Vuong Classic!! Overal a great ride. The airtime is great and has some pretty good drops. - David Steinhardt 9-Outstanding. Simply my favorite coaster at Cedar Point. Who needs twists and loops when you have all that airtime, not to mention a reasonable queue time? - Joshua Counsil Magnum was okay, but definitely not one of my favorites. The ride was rough and uncomfortable for me. But I WILL ride it again next time because all the positive reviews have convinced me I just rode Magnum on a bad day or something. - casandra d Perfection. Magnum never slows down throughout the ride. I even felt airtime on the second hill.I also love how it has a small drop in the tunnels. This is a can't miss. - Bradley Keith This ride is the fourth best in the park. Lots of height and speed. A former record holder and still a great coaster even though it is 20 years old. - Kris Peerman Great fun. Who says you need inversions and vertical drops to be the best? - Beth Bickar 7.5-8 out of 10 Last time I rode it I was in pain.. However I keep hearing opinions on how great it is. I would liek to go back to CPOINT and try it out again, see if my opinion has changed. - Jason Skaggs More attraction and restaurant ratings:
