Magnum XL-200

hey matt doak!!!! tis the southern belle of magnum.... yup kari has arrived.... any one wanna talk to me? aim.... sunflowerrain84!

Just wanted to say Great Job. I dont work there but The Magnum and Raptor crews seem to be the best in the park

Raptor crew best in the park? Ha! Not this year...

They have a much higher capacity than Magnum and should destroy us in numbers every year, but it was extremely close this year. They are even open an hour earlier everyday for Joe Cool members, and our crew still kept it a dead heat all summer. Had we been open for Joe Cool, we would have dominated the their numbers.

I honestly think that Magnum's crew was the best in the park this year. I guess it does help when you have people running it who are CP/coaster enthusiasts. There were at least 4 people on the crew who post here regularly and we tried our best to run the ride how it should be...at interval [nearly] every time and loaded to capacity.

Packing sucked though!!

Yeah, I do miss my Maggie crew like whoa, there were some really good times to be had during the summer. Well, That's all I have to say, Peace out all!

OMG I rode Magnum last Sunday and I flew out of my seat on the bunny hills, the lap bar caught my legs and now I have bruises on them, I will never again ride this roller coaster. I thought it was bad in 2009 when I last rode it. My husband said "it's a pile of turd and if they got rid of those bunny hills it would be much better" he felt it too and he jumped out of his seat as well.. never again.!

Cool story bro.

Did you actually dig up an 8 year old thread to complain about the best ride in the park because you didn't make sure your seatbelt was tight?

No Jugga, I did not do this intentionally. The seatbelt was very tight and the lapbar was as tight as it could get. I didn't know where else to post this and why start a new thread?

The seatbelts got tight when the ride began sinking.

I can certainly do without the bruises I get everytime I ride that coaster no matter what seat I'm in :(

Those bunny hills would be awesome if Magnum had B&M lap bars.

Sorry you got bruises, but don't mess with Magnum. I think it is still the best ride in the park, or at least tied with Maverick for me. If you bruise easily, the secret really is to pull on the seat belt as hard as you can to tighten it as much as possible.

I thought my girlfriend was crazy when she told me she had bruises from Magnum and that the ride hurts her legs. Yeah, you fly out of the seats, but I had never experienced any pain from this ride other than maybe a headache.

I had the seatbelt as tight as I could get it and I could barely fit as it is, no I don't bruise easily, it was those damn bunny hills that lifted me off my seat and the lap bar (which was also as snug as I could get it) hit me in my upper right thigh and I had a bruise for a week. My husband had the same problem too. I love Gemini, Mean Streak and Raptor.. those are my favs.
