Thanks Cedar Point Thanks Cedar Point pic taken by Dave

The Magnum XL-200 is the highest and fastest and steepest roller coaster at Cedar Point. When it was built it 1989, it was the first in the world to break 200 feet. This year it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Dave thinks this is the best damn ride in the park, next to Mantis and wants to ride it 100 times this season. Magnum has had 20.4 million riders in its lifetime. The Lowdown on Magnum Who built it? Arrow Dynamics Inc. in Clearfield, UT When was it built?
