In this video, I'll give a quick rundown of my childhood admiration of X at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and how it became an unexpected coaster experience I want to forget. This is my honest reaction to X2 in May of 2024.

Crazy how the 2 roughest rides at this park are right next to each other 💀

I rode it for the first time last Saturday and I could not agree less. The ride is absolutely incredible and I can put up with the roughness. My strategy was leaning forward the entire ride on the inside back row seat. Sorry you didn’t like it but this ride is incredibly perfect to me.

i didn’t even have to brace and the ride was still mostly okay. i didn’t sit in an inside seat and i’ve heard it’s worse on the outside. still this ride is so insane, disorienting and incredible i can look past any discomfort.

very well edited. i actually very recently ridden x2 around 3 weeks ago. I liked the ride, but i couldn't get behind the ride simply because of the final raven turn. it slammed my head back and forth against the hard headrest. i ended getting a mini headache after riding but it luckily wore off after 5 minutes. i was in the 6th row, so second to back. i liked every part of the ride except the last raven turn. i thought the rest of the ride wasn't that rough.

Personally I didn't have issues with the roughness of the ride. It's just kinda boring besides the drop and raven turn tbh

This was one of my bucket listers. Was soooo excited to ride. My first ride on X2 almost knocked me out. Same spot. I've ridden a few more times just cuz it's there, and I really want to love it because of its insanity, but if you aren't fully bracing for airplane crash impact (tuck chin into chest as hard as you can and lean forward), your head will get demolished right before the brake run. The ride is absolute jank. You can see it in every off ride video. Just watch how "smooth" the rotation is coming out of the drop. Legs just bouncing everywhere. Ride might as well have square wheels. Glad I got to experience? Sure. Would I be gutted if they tore it down for a kiddie coaster? Nope. 😂

Does it help more to keep ur head back or forward on this ride? For janky wooden coasters it helps to put ur head forward for me

@@GDNebula_ forward, no question. honestly, in most cases other than a launch, it's prolly the best practice. x2, the headrest feels ironically really comfy and soft, but if you let the ride ragdoll you and keep head back, you're gonna get wrecked (and prolly at the exact spot mentioned in vid). on really rough wooden ones, it's usually my back that gets jackhammered (there aren't usually headrests high enough). best bet is to scooch as far forward as you can and use any handlebar to pull on and keep back away from seatback! i know...i sound like a wuss who "can't handle it," and i take those comments in stride, but it's more having a solid coaster count, mental tallies of how the good ones feel, and keeping benchmarks.

‼️‼️Please do not take his advice on having your head back on the headrest the whole ride, I made this mistake the first time I rode and I got an intense pressure headache right after, the next time I rode it was with my head back on the first drop and head forward the rest of the ride and got no headache nor whiplash and it was smoother on my head than the first time‼️‼️

I've only ridden the coaster twice, once as late X and once as early X2. I had already gone to the park a good handful of times, amd X was always closed. When I heard that X was open around mid-day we made our way to it. The wait time was excessive considering we didn't see all that many people in line, and the experience overall just didn't feel worth the time. I mean, it felt cool but yeah I remember feeling like the rotations and directions didn't actually make much sense to me. Did X2 as that was open next time I went, didn't feel much better. It's been over a decade so my memories can be distorted, but I always felt like comparing it to the very smooth Tatsu which was a much more worthwhile experience.

I’ve avoided this ride ever since it hurt me so bad last time, but I feel as though it would possibly hurt more keeping ur head back, as you’d be putting more force into the headrest as it slams u back

Yeah it's time to replace track and trains

Arrow went out of business so the only way they’d do that is if S&S renovated it. I would love to see that happen but idk if it will anytime soon

There's no words to describe this ride. Waiting in line. Finally getting on only for your legs to dangle. Going backwards. The "it's good to be you" song playing like it was going to be some sort of family fun kiddie coaster only for the song to transition to Metallica's Enter Sandman. My blood was pumping at this moment. We were going backwards, high high up, until that big drop. I'm scared of big drops but that was terrifying. X2 literally destroys you as you twist and turn and bang your head and the Raven Turns are so crazy. Don't ride this again, your better off riding Kingda Ka or something. This coaster was fun but thrilling.

That same thing happened to me! It literally slammed my head into the head rest so hard at the end I was shocked like it was some sort of malfunction! this is the only coaster I will never ride again because of that.
