TL;DR Summary

Passengers on the Magnum XL-200 roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio were evacuated after the ride experienced a mechanical issue, causing it to stop suddenly at the top of a 205-foot drop. The incident, described as a "standard ride stoppage," was triggered by a "check engine light" situation. The park staff led the riders down a steep set of stairs, and no injuries were reported. This is the latest in a series of roller coaster malfunctions this summer, including a ride in Wisconsin where passengers were stuck upside down and a roller coaster in North Carolina with structural issues.
