| And the winner is ... Magnum XL-200! Voted the "Best Steel Roller Coaster in the World," for the third year in a row in a poll conducted by Amusement Today, the Magnum is still one of the most popular rides ever built at the historic amusement park. When it opened in 1989, the Magnum XL-200 was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world and was the first scream machine to top the 200-foot-tall barrier. |

 A
traditional out-and-back "hyper-coaster," Magnum's 5,106 feet of red
steel tubular track runs through Soak City water park and along the
Lake Erie shoreline, giving riders spectacular views to go along with
magnificent hills and blazing speeds. In its
11-year history, this steel giant has given more than 24.5 million rides.
