Description


Magnum XL-200

The Magnum XL-200, also known as just Magnum, is a steel roller coaster built by Arrow Dynamics at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. When built in 1989, it was the tallest, fastest and steepest complete-circuit roller coaster in the world as well as the first hypercoaster (complete-circuit roller coaster exceeding 200 feet (61 m) in height). It is considered to have started the roller coaster wars, in which amusement parks competed to build the highest and fastest roller coasters.[2][3] More than 40 million people had ridden Magnum as of 2009.[4]
