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

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

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

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

GateKeeper was only my second wing coaster, but it stands leagues above Wild Eagle in terms of quality and ride experience. The near-misses are really what brings this ride into the spotlight, with 4 separate moments that feel like you are going to smash directly into the keyholes (this is especially pronounced in the front row on the left side). The inversions are shockingly forceful, and the wingover drop is actually insane and simultaneously one of the coolest inversions and first drops I've experienced. The feeling of falling, picking up speed, and being spun around all while floating in midair is wild, and I loved every second of it. I feel obliged to say that any airtime moment simply will not pop well on a ride with vest restraints, but other than that small downside the vests are not bad at all here. Being located over the park entrance is also awesome, of course, and just a cherry on top for this great ride. 8.5/10 - this is the better blue B&M wing coaster in the United States with eagle-themed trains

After marathoning Lightning Rod on its last day of operation last season, I realized just how special this ride truly is. The launch up the hill was such a novel way to start the ride, and one of the most pure fun elements on a coaster, but even without it the ride is still phenomenal. I am a sucker for a coaster tucked away in the woods, and this ride has one of the best locations of any I've ridden. It goes without saying, but the airtime is marvelous. The wave turns and quad-down are obviously fantastic, but the off-axis hill might actually be my favorite moment. But what I really think makes this a top 10 ride for me is the sheer sense of speed you come barreling into the brake run with. Rushing down the quad-down into that final speed hill is genuinely some of the most fun I've ever had on a ride, and it's fantastic that it has managed to keep that charm and become much more reliable in the process. 10/10 - "I know you're a thoosie, but you need to pull down your lap bar" -actual quote from a ride operator to the people sitting behind me
