This is rediculus...no honest rider can say they enjoy magum more than MF, or even any morgon or B&M hyper. Its a hyper and its actually rough. Wise up people and be honest!!!!

VomitComet, I don’t see why you say that. I love magnum. It might not have as many gimmicks as other rides but that’s what makes it special. Magnum is a classic.

I agree, Magnum will forever be the number 1 coaster in my mind, even Millenium force is number 2

Vomit comet, your ridiculous. how can you say magnum is rough, its not! if you think magnum is rough, you prolly cant ride wooden coasters. magnum is equally good to, mf and ttd. sf is close to magnum, but not as good. magnum packs more punch than sf, even though i like sf alot.

Well, I have to say that I do like Millennium Force better than Magnum. But seriously, Magnum is an amazing roller coaster. I have ridden it multiple of times. It was my first roller coaster and I still love going on it over and over again!

Magnum sucks @$$!!!! its soooooo rough and the tunnels suck, the effects dont work, its rough, the little sheild thing in the front takes away from the view in the front, and its rough.

This coaster has worked it's way to the top of my list. It has great air time, great speed, great pacing, great hight, tunnels, etc. etc. It has everything yopu could possibly want in a coaster and more!

Magnum is a great roller coaster if you like a lot of air time and it is one of the funest rides at CP. If you ever go to CP you must ride it.

This is a clasic steel coaster with airtime, airtime, and more airtime. 9/10

For me, Magnum is a disappointing ride. It has the potential to be fun, but with those lapbars and triangle-ish bunny hops, it can be painful. Magnum could benefit from some new trains, or at least new lapbars...

Magnum's terrible! I don't understand how any of you can enjoy it! You don't get any airtime, and there's nothing fun about it at all!

j/k. Magnum is by far the best hyper, and I also think that it is better than MF, or at least tied with it. The air time is incredible, and I've never been on anything that even came close to giving the same experience. This will always be one of my favorites.

Magnum is my favorite roller coaster. It's a classic, and you've gotta love a classic! Whoever says it hurts or it is rough, bunch of wimps to me. It's was the first hyper coaster and will always be special. 10/10 for me, and always!

Magnum is definitely enjoyable, but it could be a lot better.

My favorite steel coaster of ALL TIME (tied with X). Even Millennium Force could not top Magnum in my books. The coaster has stunning views, superb airtime, sharp butterfly-in-your-stomach dives, and effective use of tunnels. Great coaster.

The ride is fun and one of the funnest rides at Cedar Point at night but there is no way it is better than Millennium Force.

Who are you all kidding this ride is legendary it's just as good as MF but offers a better thrill. The line is shorter. It has a cool theme. It is 20 years old and the firt coaster the get over two hunded feet and in texas were i live theres only one rollercoaster over 2 hundred feet and its only 2 years old. Magnum is tied with MF with as my top favorite rollercoaster ever.

I wish that I had the chance to ride this coaster more times than I did. The first hill was soo great, and the tunnels were fun. The line moves fast, and is a coaster that has to be ridden to be appreciated.
