I was pretty dead-set against the notion that X would find its way into my Top 5 costers (or Top 10, for that matter). I guess I was resistant becuase nothing ever really lives up to its hype... EXCEPT X. From the moment you see it driving up to Magic Mountain, something inside you starts to tingle, your mouth turns up at the corners as in childlike fascination your mind tries to interpret just what your eyes behold. And riding it! You cant even imagine it. Its fast, furious, confusing and (for the first time in a LONG time) a little scary (hello! 200 ft. face-first drop!). The restraints are an inspiration to the industry and the the ride a gift for enthusiasts. Oh, and it not only cracked my Top 10, its my Number 1.
