I was really worried about riding this one because I had heard only good things. I did not want to base my opinion off of others. But this may be the best ride in the world. It has surprises, is fast, and just plain fun. It does beat you up a little bit. Tall people will take alot of punishment. I wouldnt be surprised if in a couple of years it gets torn down. Right now it is new and it is taboo to say anything bad about it. Once the new ride smell wears off though, the critics will come out and I think alot of complaints will arise.The lines are terrible only because the ride ops are terrible. They act like it is social hour. It take about 4 or 5 minutes to get the thing going. Make no mistake about it, however, this is the ONLY ride like it(for now).

This is the coolest most awesomest and just the plain best coaster running. The wait is long but the ride makes up for it and more. The first drop is awesome. Ride in the front your first time. It will be worth the extra wait. If you are tall like me, dont ride in the back you will come back in pain. Your legs are thrown around like a rag doll. If your legs are just the right size your calves would hit the bottom of the seat and leave you in pain for a while

I was able to ride this in the front row the first time around and OMG! I have never freaked out more on a coaster, it wasnt the drops or anything, it was the anticipation. The drop was cool but my favorite part was the first raven turn, and that flip where the track flips and you filp is the most disorienting part of any coaster I have been one. It isnt perfectly smooth, In hit my head several times on the back but it makes up for it.

What can I say but Whoa!!!! That ride is whoa. This is the illest coaster ever. Fo Sho.

X is easily the best coaster I have ever been on. The first time I went on it was at night and it was just incredible. The view from the lift is beautiful, you can see most of the park, and then insanity ensues, the first drop is amazing, but the feeling of not knowing whats next after that is even better, the feeling is unparraleled. The second time I went on it didnt live up to the first, but I didnt think it would since I knew what to expect.

X. Greatest coaster. Ever!

This was by far the best rollercoaster I have ever been on.The drop was fantastic.This coaster was designed so well.But,there was one problem.I waited 3 and 1/2 hours.At the place were you get in line, it said 1 and 1/2 hours. they were changing parts and only using one train. I dont know if Americans are advanced enough for such a high-tech ride.

Heres a coaster thats unique - A stunning ride. A totally disorienting ride - a new dimension (as they say) has been added. I loved the first drop - I loved the whole ride. I waited about 30 minutes for this. I penalized one point for a couple of reasons: not running their top ride at full capacity (two trains only), some drops couldve been smoother for a new ride, for a first ride my legs were banging all over the place, a very hectic station queue. I wouldve really liked to ride this again to get a better sense of the ride. Right now, I view it similarly as I did when I initially rode Batwing and X-Flight. I love it - new sensation! But, Batwing and X-Flights weaknesses are exposed after a couple of rerides. Im sure Ill have the chance to reride this coaster as it spreads like Boomerangs to every park in the Six Flags chain.

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.

THE BEST COASTER EVER!!! i love that skydiving drop! i got the very front seat and it was so awesome! i went sometime last summer in august. i remember it opened the day before i went.(after all the design problems) i was running around the house screaming....well ok not screaming but you get the point. i waited 4 hrs. 15 mins for this ride. it was WAY worth the wait.i would wait for it all day.
