Magnum XL-200

The Magnum XL-200 reaches speeds of 72 miles per hour along its 5,106-foot track, featuring steep drops and multiple airtime hills throughout the journey.

Opening on May 6, 1989, this roller coaster marked the first time a complete-circuit coaster surpassed 200 feet in height, establishing a new category of hypercoasters.

The name Magnum was selected during the peak popularity of the television series Magnum P.I., with XL-200 representing its extra-long track and height measurement.

The coaster accommodates 36 riders per train across three trains, with six cars each arranged in two rows, processing approximately 2,000 passengers every hour.

The track layout includes three tunnels and a pretzel turn that crosses through Cedar Point Shores waterpark, offering riders views of both Lake Erie and the amusement park.
