Magnum XL-200 is a legendary steel roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. When it debuted on May 6, 1989, it made international headlines as the world's first "Hypercoaster," defined as a complete-circuit coaster exceeding a height of 200 feet. Standing at 205 feet tall and reaching speeds of 72 mph, it shattered world records for height and speed at the time. Built by Arrow Dynamics, the ride is famous for its "out-and-back" layout that takes riders toward the Lake Erie shoreline before a signature "pretzel turnaround" and a series of intense airtime hills. In 2004, it was designated as an ACE Roller Coaster Landmark for its historical significance in sparking the "Coaster Wars" of the 1990s. Despite the arrival of much taller and faster rides like Millennium Force, Magnum remains a fan favorite for its classic mechanical feel and the breathtaking views of the lake it provides during the initial climb.
