X2! CALIFORNIA, May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA introduces X2, a cutting edge one-of-a-kind roller coaster designed to break all the rules!
X2 is the world's only 5th dimensional thrill now featuring a sensory explosion of sound, fire and fog. Unlike traditional coasters where trains only parallel the track, X2 is pushed to the extreme. Riders will race in newly-designed, sleeker, lighter vehicles that spin independently 360-degrees forwards or backwards on a separate axis -- creating an unprecedented "don't know what to expect next" sensation. Perched on the EDGE of a massive 20-foot wide wing-shaped vehicle, riders will plummet 200 feet to the ground ? head-first face down -- and race at 76 miles-per-hour spinning head-over-heels and performing forward and backward acrobatics through the massive 3,600-foot twisting steel maze. The ride features: a 200 ft, 89 degree first drop; one twisting front flip; one sky dive; two back flips; two raven turns; fire, fog and sound effects; and a track length of 3,610 feet. The new train design, meeting military specifications and NASA-quality engineering, allows vehicles to spin 360-degrees forward and backward independent of the train's primary movement.
X2 opens to the public on May 24. For more information, visit: http://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain/ SATELLITE FEEDS:
