The fact that you guys are actively creating new content at new parks in Europe while also making time to edit and upload daily videos is incredible. It really shows your work ethics and passion. It’s inspiring.
They already made the content before they left. But it is still great that there’s daily uploads
They also have a massive team of people helping them...
@@sixwonmakes me wonder what the profits are like for this channel as a company? Ad revenue can’t be huge, given less than 300,000 subs.
@@sixwon They really don't, it's literally just Taylor and Sarah!
I worked at Cedar Point the year they opened Magnum. They would occasionally open a ride or a part of the park after hours for employee events. As a result, I ended up riding Magnum about 50 times that summer. It was a fun time.
Regarding the bugs. I believe they were Muffleheads. I worked in games near the front of the park. For the few weeks the bugs were heavy, we had to spend a fair amount of time picking the bugs out of the stuffed animals. Not the most pleasant way to spend your time but it was a job. :)
I appreciate Jacob Letting ‘Em Know. Go Cavs!
Couldn't agree more. Browns and Tribe too!!!

Magnum is severely underrated. The airtime on it is really good in the magic seat and in the back row.
too much rattle and pain 😂
magnum is one of tbe most highly acclaimed coaster in the planet by enthusiasts 💀
It's definitely not underrated. It's the most praised coaster in the world.
@@aarusharya5658 It’s over hated by enthusiasts
@@yourexperienceguide It's polarizing. Either you completely hate it or praise it as one of the greatest coasters ever to be built.
Magnum is the ride that got me into coasters and I will always love that thigh crushing airtime on the last hills
I was literally next in line for Valravn when it got stopped for the prosthetic leg! Makes sense why they can't ride with it on, but the whole station was in shock. I also thought it was a cell phone at first! Took about 20 minutes to reset everything/cycle trains and then we were on.
I was there the day before you came. My first time back since riding my first coaster at age 12, so basically all major credits were new for me. SteVe and Maverick blew me away, Millennium Force was a great candidate for my 75th credit even though their ops were absolutely trash all day. In the closing hour of the park, their dispatches were like 5 minutes. As for Magnum, I loved it. It's rough but I didn't mind it, and the ejector on the return section was as amazing as everyone says in the Magic Seat. Also I don't get the hate on Valravn. Rode in the front on the end and it was so much fun.
I just came from CP! Wild Mouse was down. 😢
Magnum XL 200 is the coaster that made me an enthusiast! I'll never forget my first ride almost 20 years ago, in 2004. Scared me when I was 8 back then, but grew to love it!
I grew to hate it 😅 No engineer needs a computer to know :
triangles + terrible restraints = pain
@@Coolbreeze0988 exactly 😅
I always loved Magnum, but it does seem to need a retrack as it's getting really rough.
Love Magnum! Worked it for three unforgetable summers and it will always be my favorite!
Just went to Cedar point a couple weeks ago for the first time. Steel vengeance was amazing as predicted so was Maverick. As for Magnum, I had an awful experience. I rode in the back row and I’m over 5 foot nine so I was not having a good time. It didn’t start out too bad, but on the air time hills at the end, the air time was incredible, but I dreaded it because every single time I would get slammed up and down and it felt like we were hitting potholes after pothole. Will not be riding again. However, I want to come back to this park ASAP.
I just went in May for my senior trip and here’s my ranking!(sadly I didn’t get to do the wild mouse)
1: Steel Vengeance-just solid, the part where you go inside the structure was absolutely insane!!!
2: Maverick-could easily be swapped with vengeance as number one, my dad and I rode it, not knowing anything about it, so we were definitely shocked about the launch😂
3: Millennium Force- Such a fun ride, overhated imo, that music in the station tho>>>
4: Magnum-I was on the row 4, everyone in my party except me hated it but I loved it!! Those hills were super intense!!!
5: Raptor- My first ever invert, I didn’t expect it to be intense, but that helix at the end proved me wrong💀
6: Gemini- I love dueling rides and this one surprised me, super fun, the station was cool too!
7: Gatekeeper- idk I love wing coasters, it’s tied atm with Wild Eagle but that might change when I go back to Dollywood!
8: Rougarou- If it wasn’t for my head turning into a pinball, this would be higher, still fun tho.
9: Valravn- My first time on a dive coaster, I have a funny story out of it, the first drop scared the life out of me😅
10: Blue Streak- We got put in the back row so it was a little painful but it was still really fun for its age!
11: Iron Dragon- nothing special, but it was still fun, never been on one like that before!
12: Corkscrew- got stuck in the back row, the restraints crushed my thighs, my head was whacked around, the only way to enjoy this ride is to watch it from the sidewalk.
13: Cedar Creek Mine Ride- “ow, ow, OW, OW, OH MY GOSH OW, OW, THIS CRAP HURTS.” -Me and my friend 2023
Lol, your top ten is literally my top ten I just have some swapped around
Didn't like it my first time but it has grown on me ever since and have come to love it!
I went to CP yesterday. I was shocked at how bad the operations were. Especially Millennium Force and Gatekeeper. Spent 10 minutes on the break run of gatekeeper. Magnum and Raptor were the only rides that didn’t stack every cycle.
Magnum is honestly not that bad, it depends on where you sit really. I always sit near the front cause it doesn’t feel as bad as the back. Still fun though
I’m a magnum lover, for me it’s 3rd in the park behind Maverick and steel Vengeance
It’s my home park! Love it when you guys visit the parks close to my house!
I’ll always love Magnum and here’s why. It’s the summer of 1994. I’m 20 years old and on leave from the navy. My sister and her friends are going to CP to celebrate their high school graduation and she invited me to come along.
I end up riding the Magnum XL 200 with her friend who I always though was the most adorable girl I’d ever seen. No one else wanted to wait in the 2.5 hour line so we ended up getting separated from everyone else and spent most of the day alone just the two of us. And at the end of the day I told her when I came home from the navy if she was still single I was going to date her.
And we started dating in 1997 and have been together ever since. Married since 2000 and still go to CP every year and ride the Magnum together.
My home park! I haven't been there since 2018 when my work sponsored a trip there. Boy, do I miss it. Glad to hear y'all had a good visit! Thanks for taking time to share a little footage to remind me I need to get up there soon :).
Mantis was an amazing Stand up. Also had very quick operations, minus the slow lift lol
Even tho I haven't ridden Magnum XL 200 from 1989, I have heard the final airtime hills are insane
its good to see you upload this due to me going to cedar point in a few weeks for 3 park days i believe, glad to see the state of the park before my first visit
Cedar Point is #1 on my USA theme park bucket list!
That makes 2 of us, my friend.
i have always had conflicting feelings about magnum. i first ride it when I was 6, and i hated it because it just felt rough. i’ve been back since then a few times, and i liked it a lot more.
Hope you had a great time! You just missed Shawn and Charlotte 😮
Magnum will always be a sentimental favorite. Rode it opening year 1989 and was instantly hooked. Now I get to enjoy it with my husband and daughter!
Hey Taylor and Sarah, did someone yell “coaster studios” at you and wave in the Maverick station right before you got off your ride from the end of this video? Because if so that was me and you guys waving at me was one of the highlights of my incredible first ever day at Cedar Point! 😂
I was there yesterday!!!!!!
The recently found eleventh commandment reads “thou shalt love magnumXL200 or ride it with no restraint”
I went on it yesterday
*went from loving it to hating it*
It would be great if cp got new lap bars
I love this flick times 5 million. First and foremost, best video thumbnail of all time, it's IG-worthy. Panda Express looked amazing. One of my favorite things in the park is snatching a whiff of Panda Express as I walk by on a way to get dranks.
I usually get small plates at the park and carbo load after riding. Makes for the best sleep ever.
Looks like yall had a great time!
“If I wanted a bug ride, I’d go to Disney” lol NOT ANYMORE 🤣
My number 2 or 3 coaster at CP. Maverick First. Than either Magnum or Steel Vengeance. I LOVE Magnum's air time, and if I don't feel like I'm going to die at least once in a ride, it can't be my fav. ;) Love it.
I was just at Cedar Point last year my Favorite roller coaster Steel vengeance hands down!
Used to hate it so much now I love it.
“World’s best mine train.” No truer words have been spoken.
“Worlds best mine train” 😂 I like that
Magnum reminded me a lot of The Beast.
Both are massive, record breaking coasters built ahead of their time. And because of that they have a unique janky-ness not found in future coasters that learned from them. They are very one of a kind because of it.
Magnum is still actually good
I’m an enthusiast and Magnum XL 200 is super underrated for me. I enjoy the last airtime hills. I cannot say the same for Wild mouse though. Wild Mouse made me feel asleep for the whole day.
Tim is definitely Robert California in disguise yeah? Great update on the park!
I rode Mantis when it was still a standup once and never rode it again until it was converted. The ride itself wasn't rough, but the intensity on my legs throughout the layout caused some intense gray-outs that I wasn't a fan of.
Yes, I grayed out & lost vision in my left eye for a few seconds on Mantis & never rode it again, not even after it changed to Rougarou.
Nice one great vlog 👍 👌
Omg I was here yesterday when you made this video
The magic seat rules!
You ride Magnum! Best! Coaster! Ever!
13:23
You’re welcome everyone. (Good thing you only need 1 hand to hold and tap a phone!)
Loved my first visit to Cedar Point! Magnum and Gemini blew my mind. Steel Vengeance and Maverick were both good too. The rest of the lineup is semi average, but that's fine.
If you guys had not ridden Magnum with Laurel that day, I would have unsubscribed 😂 lol
I hoping to visit this summer before band camp
Magnum is awesome… it’s imperfections give it more character than most other coasters out there.
That only works if it's Wooden, which it isn't, Magnum sucks
@@coastaku1954 I love Magnum. The airtime is just incredible. And I don't care if I get a few concussions or rib fractures. I can handle it
@@aarusharya5658 That’s… a problem
ayeee another Belgium cameo on Coaster Studios :)
The bugs (muffleheads) are a sign that Lake Erie is healthy & clean. They are unfortunately are attracted to lights, so they do come in huge swarns. They dont bite or sting, but do provide a smorgasbord for Lake Erie's fish & area waterfowl & birds
Love going in May. The park isnt as crowded & its not scorching hot usually.
Oh man, I spotted you guys in the Raptor queue and by Gemini that day. I was wearing an Arrow Dynamics shirt at the time.
Love it
You guys should make a International Trip Announcement when really it just announces Sarah goes to SDC. That would be so hyped up anyways.
I love Magnum❤❤❤ It has great janky ejector airtime and is a legendary ride that changed the game and was ahead of it’s time🔥
Also Steve’s inversions are amazing
I was at the park sweeping and it was really busy at the boardwalk
"Worlds best mine train" I died laughing when I heard that.
I personally love Magnum XL 200 because of the amazing airtime you get on the way back.
@Christian Ortiz I agree, the airtime on the final run of hills is epic. Magic seat (row 3) is where it’s at, but back row is also good.
@@patrickfraleyjr2819 Airtime is only good if you can enjoy it, which you can't on Magnum with those lap bars and the triangular hills
Too many young riders are spoiled by how smooth modern coasters have become imho. The only honest "rough" ride at CP for me was Mean Streak in its final years. The fun of Magnum is well worth some discomfort for me.
@@clevelandcbi Sooooooo it’s bad to like smoothness? Makes me and others less of a coaster enthusiast cause we don’t like rough coasters that hurts?
@@coastaku1954 I meant no offense. I just honestly love all coasters. I hate seeing classics get trashed in the comment section because they don't have all the modern conveniences of today's coasters. I mean, classic cars don't get trashed because they ride rougher. lack heated seats, built in wifi, power windows, etc etc. As I said, I think it's mostly the age gap. To me, Magnum isn't that rough. I grew up riding MUCH rougher ones. I can see how it'd feel rough to a generation expecting smooth every time they board. As I said, just my opinion.
My son's on-ride photo from Magnum went on our Christmas card last year. Biggest frown ever.
I love Magnum XL 200. My favorite is trimless. Employee ride night back in the summer of 2002.
thanks for riding magnum with me 💖 (i sorta like it)
Rode Magnum as a kid the year it opened. Was amazing. The fact my daughter thinks its "okay but kinda little and boring" compared to others there makes me feel like an old fart.
CP Is my home park i really hope i see you guys one time!!!
Honestly, based on the POVs, Rougarou looks like a top-tier floorless. It combines the great pacing of something like Hair Raiser at Ocean Park with the length of something like Kraken.
If only it was smoother.
Magnum is so underrated. Its a great ride, wonderful airtime, and a capacity monster when the Ops are killing it.
As someone with back problems, Magnum is brutal on me. The ride is so harsh and it really makes you appreciate how far roller coasters have come in terms of ride quality.
I love magnum!!!
The last time I rode it few weeks back in the magic seat it was so so painful. I used to enjoy the jank, but man my thighs were legit bruised for days.
I have a love hate relationship for magnum
I love Magnum. The last airtime hills are the problem, they hurt so bad. Its good airtime, but its like getting thrown against a rock wall over and over again because of the lapbars. The rest is suprisingly fun honestly.
My wife and I went to Cedar Point for the first time last week. We rode all the big coasters and Magnum unfortunately was our least favorite. The lap bar annihilated my quads, and the roughness through the turns and the hills made my wife nauseated. It’s a bummer because we try and look for all the good when we’re riding coasters. We’re headed to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City next weekend, which is home to Mamba, a ride similar to Magnum XL 200. Hopefully that one is smoother!
I don’t know when I’ll ride Steel Vengance but i’ve only ridden two rmcs. That being Twisted Timber(KD used to my home park) and Lightning Rod. I’m going to Hershey in two days I’m so excited for Wildcat but I wish I could ride steel vengance. My home park now is Carowinds which is amazing but I wish I had an rmc to ride there. I’ve been to The 3 major florida parks in my opinion being Sea world, Busch Gardens and Universal. I went to Busch Gardens Tampa and Sea World orlando the year the both Ice breaker and Gwazi were being built so I never got to experience. This trip will make up for it cause I’ve been to hershey before but was too scared to ride anything bigger than super dooper looper. So I’ll get all those credits and I’m making my second ever trip to Busch Garden Williamsburg and get ride on Pantheon and Dark coaster. Jeez it feels like I’m ranting. That’s all though.
I don’t go on frisbee rides anymore because of a bad experience some time ago. It was the end of the ride, and for some reason, the restraints were stuck or something, I don’t know. And as a guy with autism, I sometimes panic when I get stuck. I feel like I can’t breathe. That happened on Riddler’s Revenge and I haven’t been on it or any other frisbee ride since, and I’m never going to ride another one ever again.
OMG I SAW MARK IN THE ISPEED SHIRT WHILE IN GETTING OFF GATEKEEPER OMG HOW DID I NOT SEE YOU!!!!
Austin looks like every ultimate frisbee player I have played with that was unbelievably good. I bet Austin plays.
Magnum is severely underrated because it never has more than a 15-20 minute wait. The first half of the ride is nothing to special except for the hill into the helix which is surprisingly fun. The helix is the roughest part of the ride but it also seems to gain speed out of the helix. The sudden tunnel drops are something else, they come out of nowhere. The hills at the end are insanely strong sending you a foot out of your seat. I also like how the trains feel kind of open similar to Millennium Force. But it was not as if I really liked it at first. It took me until my 5th ride until I found it a top 5 rollercoaster at Cedar Point.
When trims are off, Magnum is fire!!!!
6:24 I am 5’9” on the dot, and found Magnum to be super painful. If I remember right, the lap bar basically wedged into my thighs, borderline bruising them.
Magnum is goated. You just gotta remember to hold the lap bar up over the two minute lift hill.
The stripy girl in dungarees appears to have the exact opposite outlook on life to me and she's all kinds of awesome for it.
Pure undiluted joy! ✌🏻
I went to Cedar Point for the first time about a week and a half ago and loved it but I will say the hills at the end of magnum are rough. The rest of the ride was fun though :)
Oh yeah we waited 3 hours for Maverick 💀
My son and I took his girlfriend last Friday who had never been to cedar point. We got fast lane plus so she could get the full experience and now she wants a platinum too. I’m 46 so I waited until the park was closing to ride Raptor because it pummels me and I think I swallowed around 20 bugs or so. It was awful 😬
I loved it in 2014 when it wasn't rough. So it can be one of the best coasters out there, it just isn't right now.
Magnum beat me up pretty bad last time. But with the airtime, lap bars, and tunnels it was worth every bruise.
🧡
I have similar feelings about Magnum as I do Alpengeist. If you're in the right seat it's excellent. But if not it's rough and underwhelming. Unfortunately, I think most seats on both rides are more the latter than the former.
"World's Best Minetrain." LOL Magnum is Fantastic. MUST ride every visit. If you're tall, row 17 is the best. Back row feels w/ extra leg room.
Just recently went to cedar point for my 12th b-day and i can say... THOSE LAST HILLS ON MAGNUM HAVE BETTER AIRTIME THAN SV OUTERBANK
13:23 JERRY BEADS!!
I’m waiting until 2024 for obvious reasons. My last visit was the week before dragster suddenly closed.
I have a gold pass since I live so close and you are lucky to not have a packed wait. I went Sunday before Memorial Day and a lot of things were closed or had really long lines
Wild Mouse is a perfect easterly complement to Blue Streak. Both are "starter" coasters great for smaller kids and the GP. IF Blue Streak is intended to be around long term in the southwest corner of the park, then Wild Mouse on the southeast corner makes sense. The kids should probably stay out of Frontiertown though.
I rode Mantis as a stand-up once. It was... not fun.
The restraints had a ratchet to them, so it was really common to bottom out on a dip, have the restraints ratchet down a tick, then spent the rest of the ride at a partial squat. The bicycle seat was just pain, you felt way too much weight on your ankles, and the headbanging was absolutely real.
I miss a few changes that CP did, but ditching the Mantis stand-up was not one of them.
When I went opening day I thought magnum had the best crew vibe there, Also I think the jankyness adds to the ride for me 🤣
I absolutely love magnum. One of my favorite rides there
Edit: I went two weeks later and it is now the second roughest coaster I’ve ridden. I don’t know what happened in between last year and this year, but it has gotten terrible. Shook so much and was super painful
Oh hey I knew that Zack guy growing up
My dad and I have a visit planned for next week, but unfortunately it plans to rain pretty much all week. Do you guys have any tips for the rain?
Love it is the only answer. Anyone telling you otherwise is wrong.
1:08 I like how you kept this video PG-13 and made a cut before showing us indecent hugging 😌
