These are the guys who annually rate their favorite steel and wooden coasters. In 1989, Magnum launched the age of the hypercoaster after being the first to break 200 feet. Though its height and speed have been surpassed, Magnum remains the top-ranked steel roller coaster in the world. Vegas isn't just for gambling. This coaster reaches heights of 203 feet, drops of 144 feet and speeds of 67 mph.
Riders are essentially strapped in a flying chair.
It's also the first coaster to top 100 mph. Maybe that's why it's rated the best wooden roller coaster in the world.
