Hi Ana, being a ride operator of the X2 in 2008, can you tell me if there were some sort of restraints available for a person’s legs if they needed it?
Thank you

I love coasters and I’ve been at “Six Flags New England” and “Six Flags Discovery Kingdom”.

At my first visit to “Six Flags Magic Mountain” I tried the X2 on the first row, outside seat.

Well … I tried “Bizarro”, “Supermen”, “Riddler’s Revenge”, etc. but they all look lame compared to X2!

Really! It is not about how high or how fast the ride is but how you experience it and so far X2 is the most extreme thing that I’ve ever experienced!

I did not like it (sorry). How can you like something so intense, but I would rate this coaster 10/10 because it does exactly what its name is: EXTREME!

Cheers,
Anto

I have been on over 90 coasters. X2 is AMAZING. There is NOTHING else like it in the U.S. Perhaps you should choose a time to go to the desert when its NOT 102° out. I live 10 min from the park and one day I rode X2 17 times. (there was no line lucky me) I think you are just being a baby…8 months out of the year the weather is perfect. Perhaps if you had picked a better time to go dude. Personally I think the heat ruined your day.

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.
