Phantom's Revenge is more Morgan then it is Arrow. Only the first hill and half of the second is still Arrow.
But I'll take that one. Nice layout, love the drop through Thunderbolt. I hear there's some really insane airtime on the thing as well and from the POV I'm pretty sure I'd take Phantom over the other two.

Hmm... it's a toughie between Magnum and Phantom. Both look like amazing rides, but I probably would rather ride Phantom.
The second drop just looks amazing, and the bunny hops at the end give some good airtime apparently.
Then again Magnum has lots of great airtime spots. I'm not sure.
Who's been on them both Magnum and Phantom and really knows which is best? I'd be interested to know.

Magnum by far.
Phtanom's Revenge does have a nice first and second drop leading into an intense helix, but the second half of the layout just pales in comparison to Magnum. Granted it does have bunny hops, but are nothing when compared with Magnum's return voyage over the airtime-filled humps.
Magnum simply has more airtime and a better layout.

I'd first like to point out I've only been on Magnum out of the three coasters, though, I think it's a tough call between Magnum and Phantom's Revenge.
Magnum looks like it has the better airtime out of the two, but less of the awesome looking turns that Phantom's Revenge has. Magnum also has a decent first drop.
Phantom's Revenge looks to have a lot of high speed curves and a superb first drop, but then it doesn't have as much airtime as Magnum has. I have to say though, it looks way better now than it did when it had inversions!
I think I may have to go with Magnum for now, until I can go on Phantom's Revenge to see if it's as good as it looks.
Pepsi Max Big One, well, I have watched some videos and seen some pictures, and it looks okay, but doesn't look as good as the other two.

Wow, I am surprised PR is winning. It looks soo boring from the pictures and POVs I have watched.
PMBO, I am not going to even comment....
Magnum for me all the way. Full of airtime, from start to finish.

^Well you're only a few hours away from it, so go ride it already!
Yeah, Magnum is a really good ride, definetly one of the better Arrows and one of the best coasters at Cedar Point, and I can see why people rave about it a lot.
But my personal preference is for Phantom's Revenge every time. Kennywood is a nicer park, and I found the airtime is much more forceful than on Magnum, despite every trim brake they put on it - it makes no difference!

^Having seen a lot of your posts, it would be a good idea to speck check and punctuate your posts if you wanna stay on the forums! I don't like banning people because their English is poor, but I'll sure as hell do it if people don't put in the effort.
^^Yeah, that really depends what you look for in a park.
At Kennywood we didn't go on the best of days. It was very, very busy. But that park has a lot of history still standing, and feels like an amusement park from days gone by, with some great modern influence. It had an air of Blackpool in the 90s about it, before things took a real turn for the worse.
Cedar Point was a good park with a very family-orientated atmosphere, but was rather sterile and bland in places. Cedar Fair has removed a lot of the older, more historical stuff that used to be in the park for newer, more up-to-date attractions which in turn will lose their styaing power a few years down the line.
But that's really for another topic.
