 Review of X @ Six Flags Magic Mountain

I am of two minds about this ride. On one hand, this coaster is totally fun and enjoyable. On the other hand, its totally overrated. I mean it was intesne, but not AS intense as I thought it would be considering that you go torso side down through a nearly 90 degree drop. There seems to be a ying and yang to this ride. On one hand the harnesses were surprisingly secure considering the way your moving all over the place. Yet somehow it inexplicably seemed to absorb some of the thrill. The flipping was just as much a weakness as a strength. While all the turning of your body made for a delightfully disorienting experience, the idea of knowing what comes next is (paradoxically enough) part of the thrill. I mean I felt like I couldnt really get a good enough "feel" of the ride design, making the almost vertical drop and 76 mph speed feel underwhelming somewhat. The slow loading processes and 3-4 hour line dampen some of the fun (I only had to what an hour and a half. Dont get me wrong though. This is a good coaster with a very unique concept. If you get to the park early, then ride this. This is a cool ride that should ridden at least once. But no more than that for now (and certainly not for a 3-4 hour wait. Im sorry but this ride is amazing, but not THAT amazing.) Maybe it was just too much anticipation and hype for me, but me take was that I had fun, but wasnt blown away.
