Cedar Point

1999 was the 10th birthday of Magnum XL 200, Cedar Point's star attraction.
Magnum will take you up 205 feet, drop you 198 at speeds of 72 MPH.

Magnum's second hill offers some great airtime as you float out of your seat.

Magnum's crew is the best coaster crew in the world. The woman in the booth knocks on the
window to let the operator know the track is clear. The dude on the mike gives the spiel, checks the lap bars and
knocks back when all is ready. The whole process takes about 40 seconds!

In this photo, you can see three of Cedar Points star attractions: Mantis, a stand up roller coaster; Power
Tower, and multi-drop freefall tower; and Iron Dragon, a suspended coaster.

Mantis dares the question: Can you do it standing up?

When Raptor opened at Cedar Point in 1994, it was the biggest inverted coaster in the world.  
Still one of the biggest, Raptor is 137 feet tall and 3790 feet long!

The vertical loop is Raptors first inversion!

Raptop has a lot of intense moments like this one!
