Well as for the heights: If you are talking after being finished

Space Spiral - 330 ft.

Millennium Force - 310ft.

Power Tower - 300 ft.

Magnum XL-200 - 205 ft.

Mean Streak - 161 ft.

A news paper in either Sandusky or another city said the Magnum was sinking for April fools

When Cedar Fair started they only owned ValleyFair in Minnesota and Cedar Point. Now they own the following parks... Cedar Point and Soak City, ValleyFair!, Dorney Park and WildWater Kingdom, Worlds and Oceans of Fun, and Knott's Berry Farm... added trivia. KBF is the only year round park that CF has...


I think CF stock went public in 1996 and the symbol is FUN.

The Magnum joke was started by 2 full time employees in Food Services as a April Fool's Joke.



Those are my final answers
