Coaster reviews

Location Intensity Launch

It takes forever to get up to the top but when you do it is fun and you get great views of the water park and beach

Inversions Layout Headbanging

The ride was fun but with headbanging and but lots of fun things to top that but the very next ride after mine my friend went and got stuck at the top and we’re stuck for an hour before they went to get them and close the ride

First Drop Harness Smoothness

The first drop looks intimidating to look at but the do a great job getting you up there to the top quickly. Then the drop and because top thrill 2 was closed the ride was the most thrilling ride I went on

First Drop Inversions Layout Headbanging

Long time closed for “high 17 mph winds” other than that great ride

Airtimes Inversions Intensity Rattle

The line is long but they do a great job getting you through fast and the fact that there’s nothing to hold on to on the straight drop is great.

Magnum XL-200 is a ride like no other, both in the most positive and most negative ways. The first half of this ride is solid, but nothing too special. It has decent airtime depending on where you sit on the train, and the turnaround isn't too rough by Arrow standards; the highlight is definitely the gorgeous view of Lake Eerie and the beach below. Everybody knows that you don't ride Magnum for the first half, though. I have never felt like I was going to die on a roller coaster quite as much as the return run sitting in row 3. It is the strongest airtime I have ever experienced in my life, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the strongest airtime on the planet. You absolutely get catapulted into the lap bar over and over again across those triangle-shaped bunny hills, each pop offering a moment of painful bliss. I would not recommend this coaster to most people, enthusiasts included. If you want a bearable ride, sit in the middle seat of a car. But if you want to experience sensations that you can't get anywhere else and airtime so strong that you won't be able to walk properly for hours, Magnum XL-200 is exactly the place to be. 9.5/10 - I hate that this technically isn't a hyper

Launch Fun

This coaster is awesome, the launch is exceptional and it's kind of upsetting to me that it's not being preserved, the first loop was pretty intense and the first spike was the only "dull" part of the ride to me. After going through the same intense loop again you speed down the launch and go full speed into that back spike. Even though nothing is happening during this straight segment, the speed and pacing of the ride at that point just makes it so fun. Then you speed all the way up that back spike, this is my favorite part of the ride, I love just taking in the view and waving to people on the ground. I'm very sad that this coaster isn't being preserved better, but hopefully the 2023 MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress is as good or even better than this version.

Theming Inversions Intensity

I'm happy to say that Montu lived up to the hype as an incredible inverted coaster. The beautiful combination of positive forces and subtle yet gorgeous theming make this ride special. I don't think it's miles better than a ride like Afterburn, but I do believe it makes a lot of smaller changes that result in an overall better experience. Despite the first half of the layout being rather similar to Afterburn, it feels like it rips through it a lot faster, and the second half also really shines with the Egyptian trenches and extra inversion. I didn't experience any discomfort or headbanging--not even a rattle--which made this insanely forceful experience still comfortable. 9/10 - keep an eye out for people on the coaster tour standing under the block brake, they let them get surprisingly close to the ride

Inversions Intensity

I've really enjoyed pretty much every B&M invert I've gotten a chance to ride, and Raptor is no different. In fact, I think this is the best of the bunch, and probably the best in the United States overall. The sheer intensity on this one is unmatched by any other invert I've ridden (except maybe Alpengeist, but I think that ride is actually too intense and large-scale for its own good). Every loop, roll, and corkscrew flows together beautifully and creates a ride that truly embodies ripping through its course. I had often heard people say that inverts felt like they were going to "rip their feet off", but I never really understood what they meant until the final helix on Raptor. It is an absurdly intense element, and really brings together the whole experience at the last moment. I know many complain about the brakes, but even riding in the back row I felt no discomfort at the end. Raptor is not just an incredible inverted coaster, but an incredible roller coaster overall. 9/10 - this is the best roller coaster themed to a flying animal at Cedar Point

Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity Discomfort

Boomerangs are very overhated, this was a good ride.
