SciOly Assassination 107: The Unforgivable Curses

[-Groundhog-]

"Magnum" is the nickname for Magnum XL-200, a steel roller coaster built by Arrow Dynamic at Cedar Point. Geminicross made a comment about Cedar Point. This amusement park has a ride called Gemini. Also, Magnum was the biggest roller coaster until Pepsi Max Big One replaced it. Pepsi is Geminicross's logo.

Gemini also used to be the fastest, steepest, longest roller coaster (although all three claims were false). Both were manufactured by Arrow Dynamics.

"It had been 10 years since the last major addition, Gemini, was introduced. Cedar Point asked for proposals from ... and Arrow Dynamics to build a roller coaster... They chose [Arrow's design], which proposed a 187 feet (57 m)-tall coaster. That got Cedar Point's management interested in breaking the 200-foot (61 m) barrier, partly because of the publicity to be gained from building the first roller coaster to do so. The name Magnum XL-200 was chosen because Magnum, P.I. was popular at the time and Cedar Point's management wanted to incorporate the height into the name."

Except, as always, this line kind of doesn't make sense: "Without Geminicross, Magnum is no use."

Seems legit. I protect Geminicross bcause of the above logic

[-Groundhog-]

I going to do that it a little bit, just waiting to see if anyone had any better ideas... but okay.

[P2P]

Hmmmmm.... fifty_missions kind of makes sense in the sentence, "Without this target, Magnum is no use." Because without missions, there is no magnum?

[-Groundhog-]

Ok, my suggestion right now is fifty_missions because-
1. Running off Magnum PI angle from Person
-Actor who plays magnum is Tom Selleck- fifty_missions ends his posts with "Tom"
-Wright- fifty_missions is active in wright stuff and elastic glider
2. Magnum with a science context can refer to:
- a spy satellite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnum_(satellite)
- a rocket (that never made it past the design phase) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnum_(rocket)
- a galactic nuclei telescope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicolo ... Monitoring
All of these relate to space- fifty_missions lists his occupation as "Marketing and Design Engineering- Aerospace"

Hmmmmm.... fifty_missions kind of makes sense in the sentence, "Without this target, Magnum is no use." Because without missions, there is no magnum?

Yeah, that makes sense *smacks forehead*.
I protect fifty_missions because of the reasoning above.

Btw Sassy: if this is correct, please give the accusation to Fluffy Crustacean because she (?) is the one who solved it.

[Eat_Sleep_SO]

Since I can't come up with anything, I protect jander14indoor because of Person's reasoning. Please give Person the accusation if I get it right.

[UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F]

Please give Person the accusation if I get it right.

Person's not even an officer

EDIT: Magnums aren't any use without a shooter right? Someone should protect the Assassinator.

[Person]

Please give Person the accusation if I get it right.

Person's not even an officer

Totally...not...bitter...

Oh sorry. Person will still get credit

I thought along those lines, but there was no one with that username. I didn't think of the Sassy!
