Extreme California Coaster Adds New Dimension
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Calif., has transformed X (the world’s first 4th dimension roller coaster thrill ride) into X2: Xtreme to the Second Power, with five dimensions of extreme thrills. Closed since last year, the six-year-old X just reopened as X2, following a $10-million redesign.
The reinvented ride introduces all-new, innovative audio, visual and sensory effects. Unlike traditional coasters, X2 sends riders screaming around its 3,600-foot maze of steel track aboard massive wing-shaped trains where the seats extend off the track to the sides of the vehicle, allowing them to independently rotate riders head over heels, forward and backward, creating a one-of-a-kind “don’t know what to expect next” sensation.
Six Flags Magic Mountain is located north of Los Angeles. For information, visit www.sixflags.com/magicmountain.
