About Magnum XL-200

★ World's first hypercoaster — first roller coaster to break the 200-foot barrier

Magnum XL-200 is a steel roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, open since 1989. The ride stands 205 feet tall, drops 195 feet and reaches 72 mph over 5,106 feet of track.

Magnum XL-200 didn't just claim a record, it created a category: the moment it cleared 200 feet in 1989, an entire generation of taller, faster steel coasters followed in its wake.

Field note: its name comes directly from its record-setting 205-foot height.
