VIDEO: Cedar Point employee walks to the top of 200 foot-tall roller coaster to confiscate rider’s phone
When they say to take off your shoes and stash your cell phone before riding a Cedar Point Roller coaster, it turns out they really do mean it.
In a recent TikTok video posted by @davidhi5066, a Cedar Point employee is shown dutifully trudging up a set of stairs alongside the track of the park’s Magnum-XL 200 roller coaster.

After making it nearly all the way to the top, the employee appears to address a rider on the coaster (which was temporarily stopped), before apparently confiscating a cell phone from them.
And then, of course, he had to make the walk all the way back down those same stairs.
While it no longer holds these distinctions, when the Magnum-XL 200 debuted in 1989, the waterfront ride was the world’s tallest and fastest complete-circuit roller coaster. And hey, 200 feet is nothing to scoff at, especially when you’re taking the stairs.
