Favotire Part on the Magnum XL 200?

My favorite part? Lift/tunnel walk.

2nd hill is just too amazing to describe.

Count me among those who adore the whole ride, but I have to admit, I'm very partial to the bunny hills myself.

There are so many since the Magnum is one of my favorite rides.

1. The view from the first hill

2. The first drop

3. The third hill... with the awesome air time.

4. The Bunny hills... with great air time

5. All of the tunnels

Wow..Didn't know we had so many Magnum fans in here. Usually, it's the MF fans that are plentifull of roller coaster sites. Thanks for posting on the thread :)

i love the first hill.

unfortunately, the bunny hills hurt so bad...they dont bother anyone else? that lap bar just KILLS every time we get airtime. maybe im in the wrong seat.

My favorite part are the first two drops and the first tunnel because it's so loud and you're in and out of it so fast.

OH MAN...I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE ON THAT ONE TTDBOY!!!

All of it, especially when it's a walkup and it takes you longer to get off the train, run down the ramp, sprint past the photos, get to the entrance, race up the stairs and get to your turnstile, than it takes to ride it. :)

I did it 9 times in a row back in 1996 at in the final hour of a week day. I was totally exhausted afterwards, but it was worth it.

I was reading through the forums earlier, and one there was a thread about coasters that had the most impact and magnum was mentioned.

One of you guys talked about it towering in the clouds as you drove down the causeway, but you also mentioned a t.v. commercial that had the pov of magnum gonig up the lift. Does any1 remember this and/or could one of you tell me where i could get it or send it to me?

Everything from "Clear" to "How was your ride?". There is a reason that every trip starts with this coaster. The only reason it isn't ahead of Raptor is sentimental.

I've always been fascinated by its profile, though I also enjoy riding it. ;)

I'll never forget pulling into Camper Village back in '89 and stepping out of the van and looking up... and up... and UP! At 10 years old, it seemed as if it was a mile high.

I love the sound of Magnum climbing the first hill and the way the sound seems to echo throughout the supports.

I'd say my favorite part is, like some have said already, the first tunnel. I love it. Also, coming out of the pretzel turnaround. That is so great.

Whoever asked if anyone has had an untrimmed ride before, I had one last year.

What's an untrimmed ride?

A ride without brakes.

i love the sound of the chain lift and how long it takes to get to the top. i also love the final tunnel... it always gets my gut... i can never prepare my self for it! it great!

did they by any chance... did they fix the crazy station. i always feel like im getting lost in the station. it also feels like you wait longer in the station than the line... does any one know?

Best part of Magnum? The second hill, especially at night sometimes it feels as if you are going to plunge right into the lake.

Third hill Seat 1-2 after dark on a warm evening.

The bunny hops are more or less painful depending on which seat one chooses. 1-2 in my opinion is max air without the charley horse. 1-3 is of course the ejector with the most violent. Not to say that the air isn't as good in the back; different, but good.

And anyone who would say that there isn't anything special about Magnum must just hate air because Maggie is the queen when it comes to air on a steel. Certainly far superior to the castrated Blue Streak. Perhaps there was an arguement before the orange lap bars, but now there is absolutely positivly NO comparison. To me there really isn't a comparison between rides like TTD and the Magnum. Even if dragster is the best one trick pony it still is only one element. Anyone who dismisses Magnum as outdated or unimpressive just doesn't understand roller coasters. And yes that is elitest. And yes everyone is entitled to their opinion... just like me.

Second favorite part of the Magnum is the sensation of speed from the back of the train when it barrels down into the first tunnel. Nothing better for my dollar.
