Just returned from a weekend visit 9-9-10-11 Was able to ride multiple times (so many- I lost count) without having to exit due to no line at the end of the night. The back car is a different ride than the front, much more smooth and less jerky and painfull. The lap bar HURTS on the front cars over the bunny hills. The best part of the ride is at night when it flies you out near the lake. Fun Stuff! Try not to be seated behind girls with long hair- you will be eating it!

Ninja at Magic Mountain and Flight Deck at Kings Island are great rides, Iron Dragon is not. one more Arrow at CP: Iron Dragon, definitely the weakest of the Arrow Suspended coasters.

Yes, there's airtime but the awful lap bar made it painful, instead of fun. Magnum would benefit from new trains or at least new lap bars (more padding). Arrow never seemed to learn about heartlining transitions on their coasters, I don't miss them as a design company. Cedar Point doesn't have any Vekoma coasters but they make up for that with an overabundance of Arrow coasters, all of which are showing their age. Their mine train is probably the most boring and jerky I've been on. Gemini wasn't anything special. Corkscrew is past its prime. I only chose to do two rides on Magnum (front and back seats) since TTD, Maverick and Millennium were far more fun. CP has more Intamin coasters than any other place on Earth.

It does provide great ejector air and it is the only coaster I've been on that feels like you are riding a bucking bronco the way you are thrown into the air. The problem for me was being thrown into the lapbar and the constant pain I endured riding this coaster. It wasn't horrible but it still was annoying and made the coaster less enjoyable. Maybe I sat in the wrong seats. I will say I am probably very spoiled due to the fact I've ridden a lot of B&M hypers and have gotten used to silky smooth rides with tons of airtime.

I had never been on a roller coaster this tall before and was freaking out on the first lift hill. However, this ride was absolutely amazing. It was very thrilling with a lot of unexpected components. The pretzel turn around, which is probably at least 100 feet off the ground (correct me if I'm wrong) was very scary because the train is turned sideways and everyone has to hold on for dear life. The drops inside the tunnels are very unexpected and would provide airtime if you weren't strapped in your seat so tightly. I was pleasantly surprised with the coaster and found it to be very thrilling and fun at the same time. I got in line for this coaster not knowing how tall it was.
