Also shown as the background, the Magnum XL-200 was introduced to Cedar Point in 1989.  It is still one of the steepest, fastest steel roller coasters of today.  To enjoy the best thrill ride on this coaster, I reccommend sitting in either the very first seat or the very last.  For a better view, sit in the front, but if you want an adrenaline rush and a little air-time, sit in the back.  This ride has fiberglass coaches with lap bars and nylon wheels.
