X Coaster Takes Riders for a Spin

Tuesday April 12, 2005
With its radical coaster design, it's difficult to explain X's concept. Think of a hybrid Ferris wheel-roller coaster in which the ride's seats can pivot 360 degrees forwards and backwards, as the coaster train navigates the track. It's a wild innovation, and X offers a wild ride. By adding the "4th dimension" of rotating seats into the mix, the Six Flags Magic Mountain coaster throws riders for a loop. Without any way to gauge what's coming next, X is utterly disorienting--and utterly fun. Read my review.
