Summary: A must ride for X :)
July 24th, 2005
The best rollercoaster by far I have riden on, better than Top Drill Dragster and Millium Force. The only problem is the wait is so slow. I remember my brother and I waited 3 hours for the ride and we were near the ride where the lines split into two. They were only running one cart. The ride is pretty much a slow moving line, but worth the wait. The first drop is cool because you do not know when it is coming or not. I love the turns. Oh yes, after the first time I rode the ride, I ended up riding it 8 more times during the day. Really fun stuff.

Gonna have problems gettin on it again.

Summary: A rough POS!
December 26th, 2004
I must say that this was the first coaster to ever make me scream. This is absolutely one of the best coasters ever made, in theory. Although it has problems on some days it's a great ride on its good days, which are few and far between. The load times are slower! It is a great Ride and is a must for all rollercoaster enthusiasts. However this thing is too big for its own good. The second Raven Turn is way too small, thus it snaps the train around it and from on the ground you hear a loud bang coming from the supports. Also it's a very rough coaster, not favorite of mine at all!

X is the most intense, disorienting coaster I've ever been on. The first drop is amazing and after that you don't really know what is happening. There are many times when your feet come very close to the top supports. Don't miss this.



P.S. Ride either first thing in the morning or an hour before the park closes. Trust me, it's worth it.

An amazing experience. The first drop is the greatest going face down. If you have never ridden it, it is worth the long wait. If you have ridden it before, unless the lines are moderately short, skip it and enjoy the rest of the rides in the park.

I must say that the only good part of this ride is the ride. Its intense and suprising the whole way through. The ride is very re-rideable but unfortunately waiting in the line could take up half your day. For originality combined with sheer size I give the ride top honors for Fun Factor but the Queue is uninspired and the station is a nightmare.

I don't think it is as good as other people say it is because it is to short and way too rough. I would like to ride it again but I can live without it.

Summary: Very Nice
April 3rd, 2004
An awesome and unique concept. Some roughness, but nothing too bad.



Sitting in the front is the best way to ride X, but the line is usually much longer.



Speaking of the line, it is great to have misters in there. Also, the shade trees help out a lot in the extreme heat of Valencia!



No theming that I could see was on this ride.

Summary: One of the best!
February 27th, 2004
This is the BEST 4th dimens- wait... I meant Best COASTER in the world! Even though the lines sometimes get long, if you go on the weekends, X is running with 2 trains, and you will only have to wait for an hour. (This is only during the winter, so I don't know about the other time) Arrow Dynamics did EXCELLENT job for the spinning movement, and was AWESOME! They have really cool music station, and in the queue, they had some artworks about how this coaster works. I loved when on the first drop, you will face toward the ground, giving sensation of suiciding lol (I meant falling to the ground) and going up facing ground, too. The seat didn't spin a lot, which was great, because if it spinned like crazy, it would be un-rideable. The comfortable restraints made the coaster VERY smooth, but make sure you don't have anything in your pocket, because I hid my water bottle in there, and it really hurt because the restraints were secure (which was good). Last thing, make sure you go on X first thing in the morning (don't go to SCREAM!, viper, or anything else) and be one of the first person in the day to experience this wicked ride!

This coaster is insane! The raven turns on this ride are awsome. X's twisting flip is disorienting. The rides theming might not be good, but this ride doesn;t need it. Just watching it is cool. The restraints used on X are the best. They're comfartable and unique. You should give S&S Arrow two thumbs up for this ride.

This ride is definetly the best at Magic Mountain. The 'not knowing what to expect' aspect is very thrilling. The ride begins with a freefall that sets the tone for the ride. For most of the ride you have no clue which way is up or down, all you know is that you're having the time of your life. The line gets boring (especially since it is almost always 2+ hours.) This is due to them only being able to have one car on the track at a time. Instead of a continous slowly moving line, you will sit for a good length of time and then have a nice walk forward because they control the number of people in the loading area. It's fun having Viper run right over your head while waiting. The entrance was hidden ... no signs or anything. I walked from Viper to the entrance 3 times before finding it. Overall, this is a must-ride.

This ride is a lot of fun. It is certainly among the most unique roller coasters currently in operation. I'm not sure it's quite as great as it's reputation would suggest, but it is certainly worth riding. Definitely well above average.

It cant be argued that X is not unique, because it is the most radical idea ever introduced! While not exactly smooth, the ride delivers an action packed and fun experience that will leave you with one question, "What the hell just happened???"

Summary: My favorite coaster
April 21st, 2003
Well, here's one word that can summarize up all of my thoughts for X- Amazing. X gave me not only the greatest time I've ever had on any coaster, but also one of the greatest times I've ever had, period. Last time I rode, I had an inside seat all to myself. Rotations were perfectly smooth, and there wasn't one trace of bumpiness or roughness to be found. With good reason, X is my number one coaster -- and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

April 19th, 2003
What can you say? Its a one of a kind ride...elements that are just insane...Not only is the drop amazing but every single thing that ride does is such an overwhelming experience that there arent enough words to describe it. The queue is rather plain but it gives you a great view of Viper and does a great job of obstructing the view of the entire layout of X. The line is too slow but what can you expect from a prototype as amazing as this...also not a whole lot of themeing but it really doesnt concern me on this ride :)
