I only rode once, the line was 60-90 minutes, 15 bucks and flash pass later I got on pretty quick.
I agree that the concept is pretty cool, but the excution is lacking. This ride could be taken to a new level easily, hopefully X3 will be a perfect excution. The first face to the ground drop will pucker you up and shrivel other things up quite nicely, by far best part of the ride. Other than that, not many new sensations on this particualr coaster. I will give it an 8 of 10, beacuse it is a cool concept and the ground rush is phenonominal. Cancel the fireballs though, not really that cool, especailly when it is hot as hell outside.

I’ve been on X2 probably half a dozen times, and I contend it’s the best, most unique coaster I’ve ever been on, 10/10. BTW, it’s Jim Morrison doing the “Is everybody in?” in the station, and I think it would be appropriate if they’d left the next part, “The ceremony is about to begin…” on.

I got to go on it recently when there was no line, three times in a row. First time around in the middle just blew my mind, second time on the inside seat of the front row was very smooth (considering how much you’re getting tossed around), and the third time in the back on the outside seat was very very shakey the whole time.

I’d say try again on the inside front seat, the ride was almost relaxing up there, though nothing like front row Tatsu.

Went to MM on the spur of the moment with half-priced tix from USC. After climbing about a mile from the parking lot, we went str8 to X2. I had no idea what I was about to ride. In 40 years, I have probably ridden 50 – 60 different coasters. This is by far the most uniquely thrilling roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. This is the bomb!

Check out the pic of me the 1st time I rode X2. I had to buy it!

You have to ride X2 more than once before you can give it a credible review. The first ride is a blur of ground, sky, steel, and fire. It’s actually really fun once you can break down the madness. I don’t know any other ride where I look forward to each and every element (except for maybe the luge turn but it’s a nice little break and a really interesting sensation in the front row).

I wasn’t all that impressed by this coaster. It was indeed unique and it was certainly not very smooth. If you’re in front, you’ll miss the fire completely, in the back, it almost fries you.

In any case, I would describe this coaster as unique and interesting, but not as great. It’s merely OK.

Okay, this is what I thought about X2 in the order they happen:

1. We got in the flash pass line and waited for about ten minutes. We waited for are train. I was watching the TV most of the time, but it gets a bit boring after five minutes because it plays the same 30 second show over and over. I liked the theme of the station, but it can’t keep you too entertained for long.
Staition/Line Rating: 6.5/10

2. The seatbelts are very comfortable, and the lift is very slow, making you think abou whats going to happen to you. Especially when the soundtrack goes “This is really high- WHO’S IDEA WAS THIS ANYWAY!!!” At the beginning of the lift you go past 90 degrees and you feel like your hanging off the seat with you legs.
Lift Rating: 9.5/10

3. After the lift, you go down a little hill, come back up, and then the seats rotate you to face the ground, 200 feet high! You go down 1/3 of the drop facing the ground, then spend the rest doing a frountflip! Every second this ride went on it moved up one place in my top ten.
First Drop Rating: 10/10

4. After the first drop we went around a imaleninm and were faceing the ground again. We went over a hill that has a backflip on the crest, and a corner. Now we where facing the sky and went around a hill with a half twist over the top. This is kind of what it felt like, bank, vertical weightless, vertical, bank, backwards. It was pretty cool. We went around a dive loop, and a twist, then it was over. (the soundtrack goes “that was extreme man, extreme!”)I find it smooth in the inside seats but a little rough on the outside seats. I can overlook a little roughness,though, for the ride that X2 is.
Rest of the Ride Rating: 10/10

5. I didn’t hear much of the soundtrack, but it did have some funny parts,( going downnn…)and I think it mackes up with the ride quite nicely, so…
Soundtrack rating: 9.5/10

Final Rating: 9.7/10
(I’m just going to round it to 10/10.)

No offense Cole, but you say every coaster is the most extreme coaster on the planet.

There is only one other 4th Dimension ride in the world, Eejanaika. It is pretty cool. It is on RCDb.com. Anyways I never have been on any but I have to agree on the fact that, yeah it is a bit shaky but the rider needs to look at the ride as a whole. Arrow has a rep for making the vibrating roller coasters that leave the rider feeling like a bobble head, but Like the CC said there was only 2 parts that were a bit jiggly. This was only the first ride of its kind so you need to give it time until the next model comes out.
