88.5 degrees is a pretty important design choice, this ride was built before the advent of spring loaded bogeys and so the transition to fully vertical would have caused a jolt both as the train transitioned to being supported by the underside wheels and when it went back to the topside wheels.
Even if you "do not like X2" or the newest option, the S&S free spin...if a Zacpsin that barely spins, more like rocks and does next to nothing...I mean the basic models look like prototypes that never belonged in the park, the "Green Lantern model" and "Insane" overseas which is indentical does nothing til nearly hitting the brake run, killing all momentum that you might've flipped. You'll probably flip at the end, otherwise you'll just get banged up the whole ride. And for as short as it is, it makes no sense. I mean, at least on a Vekoma SLC, you got a good ride duration, so of course your banged up and dissapointed that apparently only B&M can make a good invert (leaving Intamin out because 1. Volcano is a launch coaster and while inverted it's like a totally different breed and 2. normal intamin ones aren't in the US and I doubt they work too well intamin downtime sucks).
I actually love x2 I’m not a magic mountain fan boy but I love it definitely better than green lantern P.s I’m 9 years old and I’m a coaster enthusiast.
Green Lantern is better than X2 by a long shot. I've had some terrible rides on GL but I've also had some super intense and super awesome ones. Never had a good ride on X2.
@@olmisery3859 I actually got a good ride on it. I have vague memories but I'm pretty sure I was in the front on the inside. Idk maybe I'll go on it again and say this is terrible
SFMM fanboy: are you even listening to me Taylor: One second lemme just finish this green lantern first flight parody SFMM fanboy: (mumbles) no you don't *throws Taylor's phone Taylor: brah! \ _ /
Anyone who hasn’t ridden X2 in the back row NEEDS to! I don’t scream on roller coasters very often any more, but the back of X2 is so intense that I scream like a little girl through the whole thing! 10/10, would ride in the back every time
@@swickzy9250 Right, because regardless of what Vekoma does, people are only ever going to remember them for the SLC and Boomerang. Forget the fact that they're the exclusive EU distributor for RMC...
I rode X2 and I actually thought it was pretty good. And since it was over 100° I only had to wait 15 minutes. I got the outside seat, but I still liked it. It's one of the only rides that made me legitimately scream
I agree. The calf banging is SO painful. The solution I found was to keep your legs/calves lifted off the seat like you're doing crunches with the lower half of your body.
It’s named X2 after its original set up, named ‘X’, they remodeled it with Arrow Dynamics, now gone bankrupt, and renamed it ‘X2’. (From what I’ve heard, at least.)
Yeah, I get what you are saying. I mean, Cedar Fair parks generally are better looking as in they have cement, they are really clean, they have great landscaping, and they usually do well with keeping up with the paint. But Six Flags usually has more themeing, most of the parks have great landscaping, and I think overall, Six Flags is a lot more fair with new additions every year. No matter what, every park gets something new whether it is a flat package, a single flat, a water slide, or a coaster, they always get something new. Cedar Fair is not really fair with their new additions. Cedar Point usually gets a coaster, it is it always a huge coaster. Some of the other larger to mid sized parks get a new flat or a water park addition. And then the small parks like Dorney, Valleyfair, and Michigan's Adventure don't usually get anything big.
It should still be made into a sit-down (along with Six Flag's Green Lantern, though that one would be better removed for a giga or a wing and put at six flags america floorless), be the totally opposite side of the country's Incredible Hulk, but probably still better (How The Incredible Hulk has won best coaster makes about as much sense to me as how Millennium Force has won, aka I don't get it)
This ride can definitely run rough, mostly on that last part. As an employee, we had to close the ride once because of someone having “head trauma” after riding.
What if? What if Arrow was still a thing? Would Vortex not close for good? Would Kings Island not get a giga? Would we still have the Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg? Who knows?
Six Flags Magic Mountain is my home park and I agree 90% to what this video showed. The waiting time is 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. On a good day though is at least 20-30 minutes. It does experience delays often making the waiting line even longer. The ride is not always rough though. When it's rough, it gives me neck pain that lasts for 4 days. There are some times that it feels smoother though. I would rank it higher than green lantern. And it's still on my 5 favorite coasters at the park. Great video lol
x2 is fun because every single time I go on it I instantly regret it at the chain lift. For the people who say there is head banging, I disagree because I just put my head back. The only downside to that is if you do indeed put your head back your are now subjecting your calves to be broken instead. Never the less, without a doubt the best ride in the park because it and Green Lantern are the only two rides you should be actually scared of because both of them hurt... a lot. But still it offers an experience like nowhere else in the US, and is kick ass doing it. 10/10
Coaster King I've never experienced pain on X2. I've ridden the ride 5 times and never had any pain coming off it. I do agree that it is very fun. It is more than just a 10/10- it is 11/10.
X2 actually scares me each time and I’ve ridden it four times now. I was there yesterday and I began shaking as soon as I got to the loading area and once going up the lift hill I began freaking out and began screaming right before the first drop.
Sorry, but Viper hurts a LOT more. X2 just rattles me around some, but it's totally worth it, and if I put my head back I'm okay. Viper makes me feel like some boxer has been punching me in the side of the head repeatedly. I've considered taping a pillow to my head next time.
I really do miss arrow they made ground breaking rides and I feel sad that there gone. No BM will ever be as classic as rides like the big bad wolf and lock ness monster (yes BGW is my home park so I’m biased to it) but they were a great company and I’m sad there gone. R.I.P. Arrow
The 4D didn't put it bankrupt tho~ If B&M wanted to, the endeavor alone wouldn't do it. Arrow was on its last leg as the ride was being built already lol
2:20 what was preventing them? The wheel assemblies. If the up stop wheels aren’t spring loaded, the train will be unable to pull out of the drop if it is 90 degrees
Sometimes in the station you hear a girl whisper X X X X X two two two twO Two over and over as a guy asks if everybody is in more aggressively each time. So it is, Xtwo.
88.5 degrees is probably because the software arrow had at the time. Once attempting a 90° and plus bank the track banking wants to go all weird and I think it's better that arrow tried an almost vertical drop that gave the impression of a vertical drop tbh. That's why the ealier dive coasters drop at 87.5°, not 90. sorry to ruin a good joke haha pls don't hate me
Oh hell no this is much much better than the nut crusher we know as Green Lantern First Flight. Your testicles will stop functioning properly if you ride that one.
The .ast few times I was at MM X2 was running smooth the moment the park opened only broke down once during the day. But was up and running 30 mins later.

I can understand someone not being a fan of X2 but ranking it below Green Lantern is blasphemy

There's an easy way to get guaranteed good rides on X2. It's called going to Japan and riding Eejanaika instead.
X2 doesn’t give you headaches it slams your legs all over the place😂😂😂
And the lockers are free now :P
that's cap
For real. I love X2
Exactly my experience as a naive 13 year old.
What do you mean weird music? That's Metallica and it does a pretty good job as pump up music and being foreboding at the same time.
METALLICA PLAYS OMG NOW IM MORE EXCITED TO RIDE IT
Wearing a metallica shirt rn
It's called a coaster *parody*
They commonly make snide remarks about coasters they actually really enjoy, just for the fun of it. It’s just a hobby!
Ikr the music is what makes the ride fun lol
That's not weird music on the lift hill that is enter sandman by Metallica
Ya. Weird music
Colin Keating no good music
im wearing a metallica shirt rn
Iron Maiden > Metallica
Nobody wants to hear power and thrash metal on a rollercoaster
"At least it's not Vekoma getting in your house"
The irony of this - Arrow partnered with Vekoma in the 1970s.
Dun dun duuuuuuuuunnnnn!!!!!!
And then we’re betrayed by them
And their most famous collaboration is the most painful ride i've ever ridden
@@dangerdoge4113 which is??
But vekoma later stole arrows track after it ended according to vekomas history
"I'm here to haunt youu"
-well make it quick
😂😂😂
1:10 I love how the math formula includes a reference to T3 at Kentucky Kingdom -- another famously painful coaster.
ironically i was watching this video yesterday while i was in line for X2 :D
Lol
SFMM fanboy: are you even listening to me
Taylor: One second lemme just finish this green lantern first flight parody
SFMM fanboy: (mumbles) no you don't *throws Taylor's phone
Taylor: brah! \ _ /
Anyone who hasn’t ridden X2 in the back row NEEDS to! I don’t scream on roller coasters very often any more, but the back of X2 is so intense that I scream like a little girl through the whole thing!
10/10, would ride in the back every time
Every fandom has its circle of snobs. Coaster Studios is one of them.
Also 4:01I can agree with you, tried making this type of ride in Planet Coaster and it did NOT go well.
i actually miss arrow. They made affordable looping coasters. Besides, the Vekoma remakes are worse anyway
M N Now Vekoma is making affordable looping coasters with smooth tracks.
so true
Ahem ^SLC*
@@swickzy9250
Right, because regardless of what Vekoma does, people are only ever going to remember them for the SLC and Boomerang. Forget the fact that they're the exclusive EU distributor for RMC...
but if they were still around sf would suck and RMC wouldnt exist so yah
In math class we were learning about Pythagorean theorem and they told us to find X2 and I said it was at SFMM and everyone stared at me 😂
The way you pronounce Alpengeist is hilarious!
DesiredInsanity true

What's funny is that 3 years after this parody was made, King's Island actually did get a giga.
Either I'm insane or extremely lucky, because I have never experienced headbanging or waited in line for more than 15 minutes for this ride.
started reading through comments
saw a hardcore magic mountain fanboy
stopped reading through comments
Where is he or her?
Matt Hayes lmao
Dying out of laughter when Taylor said "BRUH!" LOL
Who’s here when kings island got a giga
Love that kings island actually got a giga
I don’t know who created x2 but that person deserve a huge reward
Alan Schilke
idk about you but vekoma seems like such a lad, i'd love to meet him!!
hello father
Worse than pinfari lol
Worse then pinfari is like that one park that Kim Jong il designed
That's one coaster of a parody i say
CallyMac ya
4:22 He's predicted that Kings Island will get a Giga, So he was right, It was Orion.
It's amazing that the parody made this huge list of supposed problems with X2 without even mentioning the only real problem: the calf banging.
I agree. The calf banging is SO painful. The solution I found was to keep your legs/calves lifted off the seat like you're doing crunches with the lower half of your body.
We need to make "BRUUUUUUUHHH" a meme now XD
Davekat BRUUUUUUH it is
It’s named X2 after its original set up, named ‘X’, they remodeled it with Arrow Dynamics, now gone bankrupt, and renamed it ‘X2’. (From what I’ve heard, at least.)
there is a six flags fanboy in this comment section
I'm a Six Flags fanboy, not Magic Mountain though. More like, I don't like Cedar Fair very much but I LOVE Six Flags.

Tolataly Realvillan WE SHOULD REMOVE THE RIDDLERS REVENGE AND PUT IN A RMC TREX", sfmm fanboy (me)
No. Riddler's Revenge is the best B&M stand up roller coaster! It isn't even uncomfortable and actually really fun!
It should still be made into a sit-down (along with Six Flag's Green Lantern, though that one would be better removed for a giga or a wing and put at six flags america floorless), be the totally opposite side of the country's Incredible Hulk, but probably still better (How The Incredible Hulk has won best coaster makes about as much sense to me as how Millennium Force has won, aka I don't get it)

"Yeah it sucks that Arrow collapsed but does anyone miss them" .....Awkwardly raises hand.
X2 is the best rollercoaster I've ever been on, and I've been to a lot of amusement parks, plus my local park is Six Flags Great Adventure
Man coaster parodies have a lot of sarcasm especially the first part of this video lololol
Excellent parody! I especially love the part where you work in a math equation "X to the 2nd power?" haha! Love it!
She has returned, and I am satisfied.
B&M Girl?
Yooo naaahh son "who thought that color combo was a good idea?" Then the yellow n pink peeps 😂😂😂😂
Great video! Yeah I always thought of the second Xmen movie whenever I heard the name of this coaster lol.
For me there was never a long line you just don’t go in the middle of the summer on a dang Friday.
I went on easter and all the rides had no line bahaha, this is my favorite coaster ever , but gr8 vid !
What if? What if Arrow was still a thing? Would Vortex not close for good? Would Kings Island not get a giga? Would we still have the Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg? Who knows?
That roasting session at 1:38 is hysterical!!! Love these, keep up the awesomeness :)
Best b-day present ever lol
Happy Birthday
Happy Bee Day. Because bees deserve it.
The Lionel Railfan happy birthday
Thanks everyone!
Happy Birthday!
I like the "A-peg-neist" reference is stead of Alpengeist! XD I remember that error in one of the Coaster Parodies
I hope they do a parody on Viper I just rode on it the other day and it was the most freakin painful coaster I have been on in magic mountain
RandomPersonWasHere I found viper really smooth
Christian Moss Did you go on anything else? Its basically the roughest and most painful ride there
Christian Moss I hope you’re kidding
@@twistedcheese1
Were you drunk?
Really? I thought viper was awesome. Are you tall enough for your head to go above the restraints?
You should make a video called CP FANBOYS VS MAGIC MOUNTAIN FANBOYS RAP BATTLE OF HISTORY!!!!
Damo Coaster YESSSSS
Damo Coaster I like cedar point more but I'm not a fanboy
That sounds amazing!!
YES
Damo Coaster maybe not a rap battle, but a parody sounds nice

Magic Mountain vs Kings Island fanboys. The race for a giga
CoasterCrazy Brady like a political election presidential race? yes please
CoasterCrazy Brady magic mountain already has a giga
Coaster Kernal no...they have a hyper and a strata
Luciano Alonso they have a coaster that is over 300ft. Idk why everyone is always whining for a giga when they already have one
Coaster Kernal what ride, because Superman is over 400 feet and Goliath is over 200 feet and less than 300 feet. they don't have a Giga.
This is hilarious, especially the roast scene😂
I lost it when you made the Kings Island Giga joke!
If B&M makes a 4D in the next 5 years, I'll eat my computer.
By far the best roller coaster I've ever been on.
I meet all of the requirements for x2, I love it
Went to magic mountain on a Friday walked right onto x2 and rode it again ride after
Love your parodies Taylor lol
OMG!
Finally! This was good.
Keep up the work CS!
I'm disappointed there was no mention of the superior Asian copies of this.
Well Eejanaika got a brief roast...
Also, they aren't copies of this. It's the same coaster style, but not the same layout (of eachother yes, but not of this)
Where in the video did it get a roast?
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this!
@coasterstudios Hey don't stop making videos, I watch all of your videos and love them all!! Thanks
That’s almost as bad as making *apEgNis* 5 feet away from a hyper!”
😂😂😂 I’m dying!
The 4D didn't put it bankrupt tho~ If B&M wanted to, the endeavor alone wouldn't do it.
Arrow was on its last leg as the ride was being built already lol
It had to be youuuuuuuuuuuu....... IT HAD TO BE YOUUUUUUUUU
Taylor what have you done?!? YOUVE TRIGGERED EVERYONE?!? 😅
Best Coaster Parody’s (in my opinion)
1: Steel Vengeance
2: Lightning Rod
3: X2
Alright, KI got their giga. B&M!!!!!! IT'S TIME FOR YOUR 4D!!!! COME ON!!!!
I went in May... no line... morning ride... fun! Evening ride... Mike Tyson?
2:20 what was preventing them? The wheel assemblies. If the up stop wheels aren’t spring loaded, the train will be unable to pull out of the drop if it is 90 degrees
Can I just point out that x to the second power is x squared 😂😂 love the parody though!
2:54 is the best part lol
Sometimes in the station you hear a girl whisper X X X X X two two two twO Two over and over as a guy asks if everybody is in more aggressively each time. So it is, Xtwo.
I was so hyped to get on this until I got on, I wanted to get off because it was so rough
who is watching in 2020 and kings island aredy has a giga coaster lmao
Love the Kings island joke😂
KIcoasters especially cuz they are getting a giga next year. Vertical construction on the lift hill is almost done.
88.5 degrees is probably because the software arrow had at the time. Once attempting a 90° and plus bank the track banking wants to go all weird and I think it's better that arrow tried an almost vertical drop that gave the impression of a vertical drop tbh. That's why the ealier dive coasters drop at 87.5°, not 90. sorry to ruin a good joke haha pls don't hate me
Can confirm, this is true in NoLimits
Oh hell no this is much much better than the nut crusher we know as Green Lantern First Flight. Your testicles will stop functioning properly if you ride that one.
2:50 Well this is the very first 4th Dimension Coaster on the planet. So maybe Alan wasn't so sure about the 90" drop in the first place.
1:55 Diamondback at Kings Island?
When he was talking about the color change of X2 and it shows a picture of Nitro I laughed really hard.
The .ast few times I was at MM X2 was running smooth the moment the park opened only broke down once during the day. But was up and running 30 mins later.
This is my favourite parody😂

I love you Taylor... I'll start my own TH-cam channel soon, inspired by you
Hey the free spin ain’t that bad. Yes they are short but are lots of fun and their operations are really good
My GP brother hates me for getting tricked into taking the outside seat on X2
That ending though 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"subtract the roughness of T3" got me dead
yessss finally best one yet
that ghost scene was hilarious
when i went to sfmm the line for x2 was like 20 fricken minutes and full throttle was 5 and viper was surprisingly 30 min so idk what happened xd
