X2 Review | Six Flags Magic Mountain's Insane Prototype 4th Dimension Roller Coaster
Рет қаралды 54,512
Күн бұрынX2 is an unbelievable roller coaster built by Arrow Dynamics, which officially opened in the public in early 2002. The project ended up being so costly and problematic that it caused Arrow to go bankrupt. The ride remains the only one of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and is an absolute beast to conquer. The ride features unique rotating seats throughout the experience that causes riders to do various flips and rotations across a variety of elements.

Went on this when I was 12, opening year. My experience up til then, living in Vegas, was Canyon Blaster, Manhattan Express and the now closed Speed at the Sahara. Then we finally made it to Magic Mountain. My dad and I bolted to X2 when the park opened and still waited 30 minutes. We jumped in the back row, strapped in and headed up the lift amazed at the view. What followed next was a string of profanities flying out of my mouth that no parent should ever have to hear their child say. The picture was me screaming qnd my dad looking at me crying from laughing. There may be a battle over love it or hate it. But it's hands down my favorite ride.

X2 is the most extreme roller coaster I've ever been on. Went on it for the first time years ago with my teen cousin, and we both just had this shell-shocked look on our face afterwards.

I'm honestly just happy that you rated it better than how you rated it in your last review. The roughness of the ride kind of makes it feel more intense in a way that's unexplainable. For example, I rode it around the middle of the train, and my legs just flopped everywhere like a dead fish. It's just such an amazing ride that everyone should do when they get to the park. Its a little sad though, knowing that you're riding what caused Arrow to be bankrupt.

@Luigi64real Жыл бұрын
Established title is a scam, you don't actually own any land and nobody would recognize the title as the sale of land this way is illegal in Scotland. Only Established title has a record of what land you "own" and there is no way to actually know that they planted a tree or that you got a unique plot of land. They're also based off of Hong Kong which allows them to skirt a lot of laws. Basically you're paying for a fake digital certificate so just be aware Also this was my first coaster lol

Taylor, the established titles sponsor is a scam that is now coming to light. I recommend you trim the sponsor from the video and cut ties with the company. I recommend you do some research into this, so you know im being honest with you. I’ve watched you for many years and have even met you in person. So I know for a fact you wouldn’t intentionally mislead your fans. Just be more judgmental of who you have sponsor in the future.
@jacobthomasdanao Жыл бұрын
I went on it for the first time yesterday morning (11/25/22). I'd been watching videos and researching about this coaster because this one coaster terrified me based on all the ways other enthusiasts describe it. I went to SFMM 4 days in a row and didn't ride X2 until the last day of that trip and I regret not doing it earlier! I loved the experience! I was sitting on an INSIDE seat in the 2nd row on the left side (right side when sitting on it facing backwards). The queue, waiting at the station, the slow backwards lift hill, and that head-first pre-drop as the train gradually leaves the chain all made me feel nervous. However after taking that first drop, that nervousness turned into excitement and I enjoyed the rest of the ride! It definitely wasn't a smooth ride, but I think that wobbliness and rocking adds to the unique charm that makes it X2. I wish I could've done it again but it was my last day in LA and the line was way too long. It definitely won't be my last ride though, I will return to X2 hehe...

I love this ride so much! On my last visit a year ago, I kept going back into the station, basically getting on every other cycle, 13x in about 2 hours. I could've kept going. They were letting us leave our loose articles on the floor next to the gates. X2 has been my # 1 before. It's somewhere in my top 7 now. When entering the final raven turn, I put my hands behind my neck to avoid that whiplash, and that works perfectly.

@@GDNebula_ I did behind the neck, but behind the head should also work, as it serves to stabilize the head for the forces. I would keep my head forward a bit for more wiggle room. Before learning about this trick, I would lean my head far forward, which does throw the head more, but it kept it from being thrown into the back of the seat. If only that 2nd raven turn was like the first, which is straight from heaven.

I made this my 150th credit today and was blown away by it. I rode car 5 on the outside, my brother on the inside, and I loved it, possibly ore than Twisted Colossus. I haven't ridden X2 a second time because the ride had a 3+ hour wait after, but I think I might prefer the outside even if I get an inside seat ride due to the extra out-of-control feeling it seems comes with the outside seats.

Rode this back in highschool when it was the x. Thought the flames looked just dumb while waiting in line but after being thrown around and disoriented somehow those flames were just the cherry on top. This is probably the greatest ride ever just because of how innovative and disorienting it is. Only contender in my book would be steel vengeance at cedar point which isn't as innovative but incredibly fun throughout.

I've been on over 100 roller coasters and I have ridden X2 probably 15 - 20 times total in my lifetime and this coaster still intimidates me a bit, and I don't get nervous on roller coasters. It's such a vulnerable feeling going up the lift hill backwards and having no idea when you will hit the top. Then going down the drop face down in that position is absolutely bonkers. The entire coaster is such a disorienting but amazing experience all around. You are right about how difficult it is to reride. I can do two rides in a row max before I need to take a break. This ride takes so much out of you. But I do love this thing though. Top ten material for sure.

I mean back in 2002 when this thing opened, nothing was like X2. Nothing in the world even came close to resembling this coaster, and Arrow Dynamics really lived up to their reputation that they were super innovative for their time. They were the manufacturer to always go to when you needed a steel coaster. And X2 is one of their masterpieces. So ahead of its time over 20 years ago, and while it bankrupted Arrow Dynamics, this was a worthy final coaster for them. Still hard to believe that X2 is over 20 years old, which it stil looks modern to me.

My #2/272. Absolutely insane ride. My favorite seat? Outside, back row. It absolutely brutalizes you. No other roller coaster does that. Also, the best drop I’ve ever experienced… Skyrush follows close behind, but X2 reigns supreme. Only Voyage beats it for me.

Iv heard all over that established titles is a big scam. With their company actually registered in Hong Kong. And that you won't be recognized as lord or lady. Also anyone can buy your plot of land and there is nothing you can do about it. Besides, 1 square foot of land is to small to be registered and it must be registered to have the name lord or lady.

I rode X2 by myself when I was 14 and I had no idea where I was the whole time

Rode it in 2007 when I was 8. Loved it then and still love it.

One of, if not, the best first drops on a coaster ever

Hey just a heads up, because you guys really don't need any more controversy right now, but that "established titles" sponsor has been revealed as a complete fraud. A ton of youtubers have already made videos about it and suspended their contracts with them. You'd be wise to do the same.

Just a psa the sponsor you have is a scam and not real

This was my 6 year old son's first roller coaster lol .. probably should have started with something smaller but he's a coaster enthusiast now so worked out

Since I’ve been on X2 13 times, I usually am the one to sit on the outside seat. Most people I go with, I save them from the brutality of that final raven turn. My most recent visit was brutal. I love the ride, but it is a whole different kind of crazy that has to be experienced to truly understand.

My first ride on this was back row, inside, at night, and it left me speechless, because I had no way of describing what just happened. Wouldn't trade that for anything. After some more rides, I wish I could find a way not to get a sharp whack to the head on the second raven turn, because that really limits the re-rideability for me.

Great video! I rode this thing a week ago - my first time at MM. Wow! I was totally blown away by this ride. Its SO intense! I had a back row ride (outside seat) and then a seat midtrain (again outside seat). The latter was very rough! This coaster is now firmly in my top 5: (SV, I305, X2, Ride to Happiness, The Voyage). Given what you've said, I really need to get out to Japan now!

Magic Mountain is my home park so I've gotten to experience X2 in plenty of different ways. I feel like Taylor's review covered an important part about this ride which is the amount of variables needed to get a good ride experience on this. First or last row, inside seat, music working, and fire working, that is the best possible ride experience and it is incredible if you get it. However, outside seat, middle row, no music or fire, and this is a completely different ride. The variability is such a big issue for me when comparing this thing to other rides. If you need a checklist to get a good experience and you're not guaranteed to get it, I don't believe it could be seen to be better than a different ride that has a more consistent ride experience.

Honestly I have tried rows that aren't the front or back, they aren't really bad, still had an amazing ride. I still need to try the outside seat, but inside feels butter smooth with the exception of the seat bouncing.
