eltororider Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ok so you guys figure why is this topic being started just to debate 2 individual coasters? Well it's because I feel like Millennium Force is extremely overrated and Magnum XL 200 doesn't get enough love because of that. This is strictly my opinion but I'm just telling you guys how I feel. Anybody that knows me knows I love Magnum but almost hate Millennium Force. Let me tell you guys why I feel this way. Millennium Force to me is nothing but speed. You might wonder why I would complain about speed but it's not always a good thing to me when that's all the ride is. The speed leads to annoying wind in your face and you can't enjoy any of the good elements of the ride if there are any. The ride goes by too fast and there's really nothing it can offer. As for Magnum, this ride has AIRTIME! It has a lot of it too. I feel like it has mostly ejector airtime but does have some floater. It even has surprise elements and can really scare the crap out of you. Plus it has a nice view too. So what if it's only 200 feet? Definitely doesn't feel like it. I have to wonder why Millennium Force is number 1 in the world with all of their crap elements when Magnum isn't talked about as much when meanwhile the ride should be an absolute legend in my opinion.

smallpox Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Magnum feels sloppy and just plain poorly-engineered to me. not a fan. it feels like a company over-reaching what their technology was really capable of, and delivering a crappy ride experience as a result. i've always felt maggie was extremely overrated. i love that airtime feeling in the pit of your stomach as much as anyone, but slamming my knees into the lap bar is not fun or thrilling. plus the turns seem like they were banked all wrong, as if someone was just eyeballing it instead of doing real math. i guess it does give a nice view, at least. MF may not have much in the way of airtime, and only gives moderate intensity compared to other more recent Intamins such as Maverick or i305, but it is an extremely enjoyable ride with a great sensation of speed. sort of the world's largest family coaster. and i don't mean that as an insult.

ernierocker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It really isn't necessary to start a thread like this. For one, there is already a Cedar Point Discussion Thread that you can ask this exact same question. The other thing is if we allow this thread, then we would have 100 pointless topics where we debate two different coasters where everyone is just going to bitch and flame about why one is better than the other. In other words, feel free to repost this question in the Cedar Point Discussion Thread here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28853 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
