The only ride where i stopped smiling and actually got worried from the intense pressure. And i swear at the photo booth i looked like a dog who stuck its head out the window going 80 mph.
😅😅😅 Well your braver than I'd ever be!!!
Well that is basically what the coaster is designed to do.
Yeah, it’s pretty intense. Gotta watch out for the head bonk in the inverted loop.
Sameeee my photo shows pure terror lol and my cheeks were flapping behind my ears
me and my friend looked like we got bad plastic sugery istg
This is the only coaster that I've been on that has genuinely terrified me and I 100% would go on it again
That's awesome, I'm glad you'd do it again!
I only rode it once and never again will I ride it and that was 16 years ago when it was called X and had yellow and pink theme going on without music and flamethrowers. No amount of music or flamethrowers can change my mind
Wild!
@@d1zguy864 that’s when it was X
the ride is a lot better now
This comment wins lmaooo im with you!
I went on X2 in the dark yesterday. It's my favorite ride of all time.
Great to hear! :)
Cat Fanatic I went on it around night time on Saturday too! So scary! Still deciding whether or not I'd ride it again in the future.
Definitely ride it again in the future! :D
Elizabeth Schiada I think you should. It's a great ride.
damn, I would love to ride it at night
when I got in line and the girl asked me how many in your party, I said just me. She was like "O_O"
1ZosoLZ That will be me!
1ZosoLZ i always go by myself too lol
+Eric Lee (ELPIANO) Same here. Everyone else is always too scared to go with me!
Can relate. Just went by myself today haha
what do you do by yourself in line? bring a book?
Road it again this winter - still nothing else like it. It is hard to describe the intensity and disorientation that occurs. A must ride for coaster enthusiasts.
"Intensity" lol. Really isn't that intense. Pretty slow and lumbering
+Mew2Kink Well, seeing as how you need to use Southern California freeways to reach the park, 76mph is pretty slow.
There are two ones of the same type with Verry similar layouts in Japan and China
I'd kinda want to go on it, but the whole 4D thing scares the holy fuck out of me.
Kathryn Pitt oh yeah it’s so scary the first time I didn’t even know where I was going it’s actually kind of intense.
I had two thoughts while watching: "that's so cool!" And "NOOOOOPE!"
I know right! I also thought,"Oh yeah, I'm going on this!"
SPOOKY Person i just rode X2 tonight. So intense! Don't think I'll ride it again, at least not for a long time. But I'm glad I did it and didn't flake.
Lol. It looks neat. But I heard this ride causes headaches I have plenty of headaches as it is. Still looks neat though. ❤️
Me: I am for sure going on that. I’ve heard by so many people it’s so scary from the fact that it consists of 360 degree rotates and then face down drops. Kings Island has the face down drops which are really scary but so thrilling so I would love this.
This was the first roller coaster ride after I stepped into the park. I had no idea it was one of the most intense rides in the world. I got on the ride only to realize this was a poor choice for my first roller coaster in years. Now I can proudly say that I survived this monster of a ride, and the rest of the park doesn’t seem so intimidating anymore.
That's definitely an interesting story, congrats for mastering X2! :)
"X squared?" Who the hell calls it that?
Idk crazy people
+xygomorphic44 People who aren't Coaster Enthusiasts lmao
People who don't have respect.
x2 means extreme to the second power, hence the fire, soundtrack, and fog combined with the rotation of the seats
xygomorphic44 i was dying when he said that. (Uhm coaster parodies)
One of the best roller coasters there is. X2 is amazing.
+Jakob Ogan I can imagine; it's high up on my list of roller coasters to ride in the future.
+COASTER BOT it can be painful on your legs at times, and the line is always long. When the ride breaks down, after 10 minutes, get in line. Many people would have left, and the ride will start back up soon. The ride is an absolute must for enthusiasts.
It's a shame when great coasters have the possibility to deter the general public. I'll get round to riding it one day.
I went on it while it was raining one time. An amazing experience
+Lukas Tolly The line is not always long; the ride as a sweet spot around 2:00 to 4:00 when most guest have found their way to the other side of the park
I describe X2 as this: Picture Superman has grabbed you from behind and is flying through the air as he holds on to you. That is X2.
A drunk superman.
@@LovelyDiscipline ok
Listen I got to say I rode this today. I have ridden a ton of rollercoasters. Kingda Ka, Int 305, whatever. This ride is absolutely insane. It completely blew me away and I was genuinely terrified. I’m glad I rode this and didn’t skip it because you really aren’t going to find an experience like this at any other American park.
It honestly looks insane!
I love the soundtrack to this ride because it’s so messed up and weird.
J Terry TV “is everybody in?” “It had to be yooou” i always play that in my head when i think about x2 lol
“Going doooown”
How dare you call Metallica and Enter Sandman weird D;
Tuney Coasters , honestly and Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
hey i like music It actually plays Wake Up by RATM but ok
All my life, I’ve been so terrified to ride this. But I was just so sick and tired of being a wuss and walking away from my fears. my friend encouraged me to get on it and once we were on the chain lift, I instantly regretted it. But all I wanted to do was get over my fear. Even if My reaction was going to come out bad, i just still wanted to experience this ride myself, No matter how scared I was. But it’s not that I was scared of dying, it was because I was bad at handling drops. Ive just ALWAYS been afraid of drops. And because I knew that the drop on this ride goes straight down, facing the ground, it gave me so much anxiety. I just knew it wasn’t going to end well. As soon as the seats went over the first bump, in my mind I was just thinking “welp, you only live once man” And that’s when the seats turned and I was facing down. The drop was so scary but at the same time intensely awesome. It honestly felt like I was being dragged to hell. The way the seats spun at the end of the drop caught me by suprise! Honestly whoever created this ride is smart because The way they designed the seats just made it feel like you were going to fall out! There is just nothing to hold on too except for the shoulder bars which have far away handles, so it made the drop super scary! But I actually just really loved the feeling. It gave me a huge adrenaline rush! And It took all my stress out. And the rest of the ride was just so fast! Usually, all the rides at six flags are so fast that you don’t even feel a thing. But THIS ride, was just so intense, I could feel everything! The way the seats turn and glide around the curves made me feel like I was going to fly out of my seat. And the way the fire shoots right at you is so scary! It was the most intense ride I’ve ever been on at six flags! Definitely a good ride! And probably the only ride I’d be scared to repeat over and over again. But this ride will definitely make you scream! Love it. I also suggest if you are a beginner, don’t ride this! try colossus, full throttle and Goliath first, then you’ll have enough faith to get on this! It’s super fun! And it will numb you from all the other rides! If you can ride X2, you can ride anything! 😌😀
I rode X2 and still couldn’t ride Drop of Doom
Kelly Johnston same
X2 is the only roller coaster I've ever felt legitimately scared on.
I can appreciate why!
Yup, I can agree with that. I'm a little scared of heights in general, but am normally fine with it on roller coasters because you feel secured in place. But when it drops you and spins your seat to face down, it feels like you're falling out of the thing. It's so disorienting too. It would probably be quite fun once you get used to it, but since I live over 5000 miles away from it I doubt I'll find out anytime soon,
I’m scared of your makeup
Before ride: wow this is so cool I'm excited!
In the front of the line: ummmm I'm not so sure about this...
On ride: AW HELL NAH
After ride: never again...
Nah, the after ride part should be in the hospital with a concussion.
Ah, the GP. Gotta love em.
Yeah Ok deadass that was me on my first time riding this😂😂😂
Haha. Oh well. It’s still my favorite.
I felt the same!!!!
I was scared of roller coasters, and what made me conquer that fear was a trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain
Awesome to hear! :)
SAME! I’m not scared of heights but i hate the feeling in my stomach from dropping straight down and it was actually X2 that helped me overcome the uneasy feeling
definitely the most intense roller coaster i've ever ridden. was not prepared for the feeling of complete and utter disorientation as well as the genuine feeling that i was going to die
I love roller coasters, but the first time I rode X2 I was completely terrified.
When I first road this and heard "is everybody in?" I felt an unexplainable chill throughout my entire body. I'm a huge fan of The Doors and I felt like Jim was communicating a forewarning of death.
I was living in PHX when this ride first opened- I specifically went to Magic Mountain to ride this. I have ridden all over America. And no ride or coaster on the planet compares to X2-
That first drop with your chair flipping you to the ground instantly lets you know you’re screwed- and as you fly into that raven your chair flips you the opposite direction you are going . The height and speed at that moment made realize this is a special coaster-
Rip eyebrows on the flamethrower at the end
What is X2? The ride you go on if you are trying to die, its legit the scariest thing you will ever go on..
X2 is one of the best Roller Coasters ever,it was expensive,but man what a ride.
It certainly looks fantastic! :)
Got on X2 yesterday and I can’t get over how crazy and scared I was lol
I'm very jealous!
Scariest 48 seconds of my life
Also the best 😝
Wait till you never answer a Hispanic mom's phone call and wait till it goes to voicemail... good luck
@@Dipp182 yeah i’ll be fucked if i do that
I rode this back in 2007 when it was still X. It may be short, but it's still one of the most unique coasters I've ever ridden. I wish more 4D coasters like this existed.
I wish more 4D coasters existed too :)
There are two others: "Eejanaika!" at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan, and "Dinoconda" at Dino Waterland in China. Theyre all just as insane.
Cool. I never knew it was a second set of rails that controlled the spin of the seats. Very informative.
Thank you! Be sure to check out my newer videos, they are much better compared to this one. I am glad you have learnt something from this though :)
It's amazing but it's a really rough ride and hurts your head.
Need to sit in the middle and on the inside seat. Way better! I wont ride it other than there.
mikejrexec it didn’t hurt my head, but my legs kept banging against the thing
mikejrexec yes I agree. Only inside seat for me.
Ikr
What do people expect it is a roller coaster,not a merry go round please.
My opinion is that green lantern is terrible and should in no way be compared to x2
X2 definitely looks like the better ride of the two! - Aron
Nate Hollingsworth I agree I hate green lantern but love X2
I like Green Lantern...
Nate Hollingsworth yeah comparing them is shit.
Green lantern gave me and my entire party whiplash and I have never got back on it. X2 is way better without a doubt. Hell every time I go to six flags now, green lantern is always closed down which I wished they'd take it out already and replace it with something else
can you do "what is Tatsu" please
It's on the list. :)
COASTER BOT yes! please do!
The best ride I had in my hole life ! Fantastic, amazing, astonishing, marvelous !
It looks awesome for sure!
I vividly remember stepping on this when I was in the 4th grade with my friends and my dad after sundown in the dark because we had been in the line so long. Going up the lift hill, I remember humming to myself trying to stay calm...everything after that is a blur. Oh, and a woman in the car before us had her leg fall out of the restraints. You can only imagine how that effected my 9 year old psyche. Great ride!
Six Flags Magic Mountain happens to be my home roller coaster park (I also consider Universal, Knott's and Disneyland Resort home parks too). And X2 is among my top 3 rides at the park. Even though there's two even better versions of this ride in Japan and China, I'm still proud that we have this unique ride at our park. It's too bad that Six Flags won't ever spend this kind of money on new attractions anymore. I'm happy about the soon to open West Coast Racers (delayed to 2020) but I'd love to see them eventually put out big cash for another high profile ride. I've noticed that Six Flags hasn't built a B&M since 2012 and has gone mostly with cheaper (but still great!) coasters/hybrids from American manufacturers like Premier Rides and Rocky Mountain Construction (Twisted Colossus is one of those top 3 rides for me at the park). I'm definitely hopeful seeing as they're building the Mack water coaster at one of their parks for 2020 so I'm hoping they're starting to change their stance on spending money on more impressive attractions.
Arrow dynamics is so revolutionary with most ideas.
This rollercoaster was absolutely mad. I still have a trauma from the first drop, and I love it.
It really looks like it. I'd love to give it a ride. :)
best ride on the west coast
Twisted colossus is in the same park
fireballingast Twisted Colossus is overrated and has weak ejector
Best ride ever! Ridden this and the original just "X" multiple times. it's really something incredible to experience!
It certainly looks it, I'd love to ride! :)
the only ride that has ever made me feel like I was really going to die.
How come? What was so bad about it?
that roller coaster is the most xtreme i ever ride in my life so xtreme really xtreme
It was actually quite scary. Just for the fact they made go on that ride. They told it wasn't really scared but it was lie.
hahaha yeah, they said that too to me, you're not the only one u.u
But i agree it was quite fun, but also really scary lol
very Xtreme
This is one of the coasters I can say that I've ridden! Love it.
Awesome to hear, I'm really jealous! I hope to ride myself one day :)
By far the best ride I ever rode. Takes about 15 mi s for your nerves to calm back down.
Everyone swears X2 is one of the best coasters to ride. I still haven’t done it yet but I want to. I can tell you the Green Lantern coaster, however, is a disaster and a half. It’s clunky, it’s rough, it slams you into your restraints. By word of mouth alone compared to my experience on Green Lantern, I’d say a 4th dimension is a better coaster design .
Yeah Green Lantern's not exactly a fan favorite and it's been down for months now. I'd be cool with Six Flags replacing it with something better. In the case of X2, if you don't mind the really long line, it's a much better ride experience.
CoderatheGreat I’ve heard! My dad lives 45 minutes from Magic Mountain but whenever I drive up there, I manage never to go to the park. I need to get back there 😪
Once again, great video! X2 is literally on my list of coasters I need to ride in the future!
I rode this in 2001 when it was brand new. It was The most confusing scary feeling ive ever experienced. And I cant wait to go back and do it again.
@@mrlohan18 Awesome! Did you ride it during the passholder previews that year in December (a month before the ride officially opened to the public)?
@@brycefourn2001 I don’t remember. But i know I rode it when it was still X and it was pink and yellow. Before the revamp
This ride is absolutely no joke. I have never had any issues with rollercoasters before...until a couple days ago. The G force and how incredibly rough the ride was, too much for someone like me. I spent the entire ride after that first drop trying my absolute best not to pass out. I couldn't even scream but close my eyes and focus on breathing. Was my first ride of the day...big mistake lmao. Glad some people truly enjoy it but I learned my lesson biggo time. Lifechanging.
X2 is easily the most disorienting roller coaster ever made just because the seats spin so much. There used to be this exhibit at the PNE in Vancouver, BC, Canada that displayed a vertigo-inducing video. Even though you weren’t moving when you watched the video, it felt like you did because of vertigo and many people fell over after watching it!
both the x2 and greenlantern/joker coasters are my favorite of all of six flags coasters. the freespinning is smooth on the x2 but either one is amazing. they look scarier than they are, you barely feel the spinning, its all visual. almost like being on a vr coaster but it is real, it feels very dreamlike
I really love extreme rides but in the case of the X2, it was the first time I got scared for my life. It was never ending and it had those jarring movements that actually caused me to hit the back of my head really hard.
This is true, many have called the ride to be rough and uncomfortable.
Charles M. My cousin found that out the hard way when she rode X2 I had to report the injuries to the flash pass attendants
It wasn’t always like that. It’s gotten rougher with age. They really need to fix that. It still is an amazing coaster.
What is X2?
The best ride in California
The only ride that feels like a different experience every time you ride it, whether you're in the front, back, middle, left or right side. My favorite ride to take people on that have never been on it/don't know of the rotating seat concept.
This is by far the best ride I#ve been on so far. This coaster is amazing! It's my favourite of all time. I'm looking forward to my next stay in america where i'm definitly going to ride this awesome ride again!
Great to hear! :)
i went on this today with my friend for my first time and it was so intense and scary. i don’t think i’ve ever felt genuine fear on any other rollercoaster except this one
This ride was awesome at night! Can't wait to see again soon
I can imagine! :)
X2 and tatsu is my favorite ride out of all parks
Awesome to hear! :)
I rode the original X roller coaster back in 2002 with my Uncle during Spring Break. We traveled from Indiana to ride it. One of the best I've ever gone on. Will have to go back again soon. Well worth the 3 hour wait.
That's awesome to hear. Definitely ride again soon! :)
Eric Parrott sadly it is no longer called X. It is still the same exact ride though, just looks different
It's my favorite ride but I've never once heard it referred to at "X squared."
LOVE this channel.
This is actually pretty informal. Thanks! I just rode it for the first time today.
Awesome to hear, thanks for the kind words about the video! :)
Rode X2 today. It was running one train so the wait was actual hell but it was so worth it.
This roller coaster has tapped into something where only primal fear is experienced the sort of adrenaline rush you would get from a cabin decompression on an airliner. I have never been on it but the idea of feeling like you are going to die and plummet to the ground is not for me 😂
The soundtrack for this ride is awesome
Sound? It's got sound? I never heard it because I was too busy screaming and praying.
Love this Coaster - last half of the run is pretty rough especially near the end of the train. Still one of the best coasters I've ever experienced in my life regardless.
I hope in the future the vision can be even better executed. X^3!!!
That's awesome to hear! I'd love to ride one day! :)
This ride as absolutely insane, rode this a couple months ago sat in the front row and the drop is absolutely demonic. I’m sad that the flash pass only lets you ride some rides only once (X2 and full throttle) I would have rode this like 5 times if I was able too, it’s my second favorite coaster. This ride actually scared me, in the station I said “it’s over ratted it won’t be that good” when I was up the lift hill I was like “Okay this is a bit scarier than I thought” then I got off the ride and I was like “BRUH THIS THING IS UNDERRATED” moral of the story, it’s epic and it has a 99.9% chance of taking my number 1 spot when I ride again
I remember riding that when I was 11! It was so much fun!
Now,that's a coaster! And I don't have to go to the east coast for a good ride
This ride is really underrated if you ask me
It looks awesome!
I just discovered this channel and it's amazing great work man :)
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. :)
+COASTER BOT me too I love it!
shaniya barbery Thank you! :)
We did X2 at Magic Mountain in a year of doing 6 Flags all over the country. The most unbelievable experience- the most intense ride in the worst run park in the country. We waited for 3 hours to get to the top of the stairs, then it broke down and people started leaving. We moved up, and up... finally we could see over the gate. A fork lift was removing a big central piece of machinery. Then it brought in a new assemblage, slid it into place, left.... and they opened the gates. They didn't run it even once to test the new equipment. If they had, we would have realized that we were in the front row instead of the last!
It does seem like an insane experience, I do wish to ride it one day myself.
The best coaster in operation and Def the best ride at 6F LA
We need a ride like this on the east coast so people like me can experience a "proper" fourth dimension coaster.
I rode this within the first year it was in operation, and it was the first rollercoaster I rode in my life, and it was my first Six Flags visit as well. My friends kinda forced me on, their logic if you can ride this, you can ride any ride in the park.
X2 is awesome. I like it way better than Tatsu. I want to go back to Magic Mountain. It's only like 6 hours from Phoenix.
That's great to hear! :)
Best coaster so far!! Hands down
Awesome to hear! :)
just rode it today! awesome!
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed it! :)
I went on X2 for the first time yesterday, and let me tell you, that thing terrified me after the first drop, i was hanging on for dear life and i am never going on that thing again bc i absolutely lost it LOL
“Is everybody in?”
“Is everybody IN?
Is EVERYbody in?”
“The ceremony is about to begin.”
This ride scared the shit out of me and I’ve been riding rollercoasters for 35 years
I rode this yesterday. AMAZING😭👏🏻
That's awesome to hear! :)
ARROW dynamics made some crazy good coasters, now if they are S&S I'm excited to see the new Axis coaster!!!
That 76 mph feels like 100mph?!?!?!?!? Makes u wanna ride it again and AGAIN
I bet!
My wife and I were fortunate enough to ride this coaster during a trip to California (actually been back a few times). It's easily the best coaster we've been on, we actually went on it 3 times back to back. My wife is an ex employee of Alton Towers back here in the UK and has ridden many different coasters over the years but X2 is her favourite. Shame it isn't closer to home..
X2 certainly looks awesome, I'm glad you both enjoyed it! :)
@@coasterbot We did. Many great memories of our trips to the U.S. We'll be back for sure only there'll be four of us next time.
I love X2! I am glad I live in CA to be able to ride this instead of having to trouble elsewhere for it.
I'm jealous! ;)
Man I wish I did I live in west Virginia and I really want to go to six flags magic mountain and knott's berry farm
I need to ride this!!!🤯 There’s a unique adrenaline charge from a ride like this. You wait in line for an hour or so (give or take…) watching train after train go by and by the time you’re ready board, you’ll kinda think you have an idea of what is about to happen but as soon as the chain lets go, you’ll realize almost immediately that after it’s over, you will have absolutely no clue of what just happened!
F••K YES!🤘
got on this one after 2 months and let me tell y'all...again it left me breathless afterwards.... STILL AMAZED WHAT X2 CAN DO TO YOUR CHEST AFTER THE FRIST DROP
I’ve went on this ride b4 and it was too much for me😂
Like em both 1 plays of speed the other natural force creating a fuller free fall feeling
I rode this coaster and it was terrifying. Super awesome, but scary as hell.!
I think X2 is one great coaster,is unique and diferent from the rest,I know Chinas is taller and longer but we all know that always happens with everything roller coasters sky scrapers u name it but anyways X2 is one of my favorites at Magic Mountain.
It definitely is a unique roller coaster! :)
This ride is painfully fun. I rode it twice as my head and calves banged on the seats LMAO
Looks kool : )
it is an insane roller coaster but also phenomenal !
had a ride yesterday !
Awesome to hear! :)
Emma Grigoryan how was the drop ?
had no idea that the spinning was controlled by the height of the outer rails. cool vid!
+bigb7965 Thank you :)
This ride was sooooooo much fun
It looks awesome!
Wow you've definitely come along way since you made this. I actually watched this video on 0.75 speed.
Yeah I really have! Thanks for noticing :)
Yoooo this coaster was so cool, I got on twice lol
Also, I didn't know that the distance between the rails is what controlled the spin of the seats. That's a neat concept.
Haven't been on the X2 yet, but the Green Lantern one gave me a neck+headache and throws your body around pretty hard.
This is very true of all Intamin Zacspins.
Same it did this to me
im 12 years old and when i went on it i kept saying "SHIT sHIT sHIT SHIT!!" next to my older brother
X2 the best ride at six flags no cap💯‼️
I went on it for the first time yesterday. It was absolutely insane.
Best ever
Good video!
Thanks!
