Post 12. Justin Walton. X2- Six Flags Los Angeles- Magic Mountain

I am not one to ride a rollercoaster and get scared but this was hands down of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. This ride is different from most because the track and seats are independent of one another and the chairs can in fact, rotate 360 degrees. So as it runs along the steel track, it can also rotate the riders front and backwards. You actually go up the rise backwards and reach 175 feet. Once you reach the top, you begin to descend at 88 degrees. As you reach the max speed of the drop, the seats actually rotate you backward as you seemingly free fall inversely. The ride flips  the riders inversely, twice. X2 reaches a max speed of 76 miles an hour and some turns that reach forces of 4g's. If you're looking for a rush, short of sky-diving, I recommending that you strap into this ride.
