X2 | Insane 4D Coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Рет қаралды 7,250

Жыл бұрын

One of the craziest roller coasters ever built is X2, the first ride you see when you drive up to Magic Mountain. The attraction stands over 200 feet in the air, and rotates riders through a series of maneuvers in a way that can only be experienced on this ride! To this day, it is the only 4D coaster ever built by Arrow Dynamics.

That first drop is likely the single best element on any roller coaster. They way the seats swivel to suddenly face you to the ground just as you're starting to fall is amazing. I love that drop.

@CritterOverYonder Жыл бұрын

And then it drops you on your head right at the bottom of the first drop. Crazy stuff!

@elijahrock3914 Жыл бұрын

too many amazing elements to truly quantify that (treble clef, mosasaurs roll, rolling thunder hill, steve outberank, montu batwing, quad down, etc etc etc) but its definitelyway up there

First drop and Raven's turn are unparalleled. It's an AGGRESSIVE and FORCEFUL ride. Absolute monster. I'm a 55 year old enthusiast. Been on lots of coasters all over the world. X2 remains my favorite coaster in the U.S. Thank you again, Alan Schilke. You are indeed "tha man".

Still can't believe we were here. It's like a hazy memory. My brother sat next to my dad on this and always reminds me of how maniacally our father laughed out of sheer fear down that first drop. Makes me laugh every time just imagining it.

I wonder if coasters like these might be more intense if the seats didn’t rotate at all. On X2, you’d be falling upside down on the first drop.

@Amrepdude499 Жыл бұрын

Yeah it’s definitely gotten rough, but its awesome and not to bad if you know where the roughness is and brace for it. The big spots are the bottom of the raven turns (Last one is by far the roughest) and the two flips that flip the car back upright (Idk what those are called sorry)

I wish now more than ever that Cedar Fair owned Magic Mountain. The state of the six flags company and the way the don’t want to keep the rides on top shape is a tragedy. X2 is one example of a great ride owned my a terrible company. If the Six Flags C.E.O doesn’t check himself, he could say goodbye to Magic Mountain.

Couldn't agree more. It has like 6 elements, and while the first drop is insane, and the backflip hill is cool, the rest of the elements are slow and boring. I have no issues with the roughness, in fact I think it adds to the experience, but the majority of x2 feels slow and boring.
