X Marks the G (Force) Spot

Friday October 7, 2005
Next season, Magic Springs, the Hot Springs, Arkansas theme park, will be debuting The X-Coaster, a multi-looping coaster that will feature a 150-foot upside-down inversion--the tallest in the world. Although it will include a number of inversions, the unique ride will not include over-the-shoulder restraints. Instead, the coaster's intense G-forces will keep riders securely in the cars. The X-Coaster (not to be confused with Six Flags Magic Mountain's X 4th Dimension Coaster) will reach speeds of 65 mph.
