It's my personal favorite because I worked there for three summers and the ride I go to most because 1) I love it, 2) it is beautiful), and 3) it usually has a much shorter line than anything else I'd rather ride even close to as much.
My favorite seat these days is the second row of the back car (6-2).

I still ride Magnum, think it's a great roller coaster, in fact it's my favorite. I particularly like the bunny hops on the second half of the ride.

I think it got a bit oversold for me and it just didn't live up to life changing experience I was told it was going to be... So while I wouldn't put it as 'great' I think it's a good ride, and I ride it at least once a trip... I'm with the people that think the bunny hops are the best part, really enjoy that last bit...
I have been to Cedar Point many, many times. There are rides that I'm willing to pass on since I've ridden them so often (CCMR, Wicked Twister, Gemini).
But there are rides that are must-do rides each trip. Blue Streak. The train. Raptor.
And Magnum. Cresting the lift hill, on a warm summer night, under a star filled sky, as Lake Erie laps at the shore ... that is a moment of sheer perfection. And it's a damn fine ride for every inch of the track.
Also,I need to have chili cheese fries on each trip.
