About X2
X2 is the world’s first 4th Dimension roller coaster and was the final roller coaster conceived and installed by ride manufacturer Arrow Dynamics. The ride is unique in that the trains’ seats pitch 360 degrees forwards and in reverse independent of the main chassis. When it recieved its transformation into X2. It was completely repainted, received new third generation vehicles, and featured new special effects including a sound system and a pair of flame throwers
Ride Experience
After departing from the loading station, the ride makes a 180-degree turn traveling over the line queue and onto the lift hill. After ascending 175 feet (53 m), the train enters a short drop and then ascends an additional 15 feet (4.6 m) to a maximum height of 190 feet (58 m) before dropping 215 feet (66 m). Each car on the train spins on its own independent axis 360 degrees forward or backward, which is being controlled by the outer rails of the track.
During the main drop, the cars are rotated 180 degrees so that riders are facing toward the ground. The train then enters an inside raven loop, where the cars are rotated again halfway through the loop to create a "lie-to-fly" maneuver; riders transition from laying on their backs facing backward to a flying prone position facing forward. After exiting the loop, the cars rotate backwards 360 degrees simulating a backflip. This is followed by a sweeping fan turn and a half twist "fly-to-lie" maneuver, in which riders flip forward 180 degrees to return to the original position of laying on their backs. Flame throwing special effects can be seen overhead as the train enters an outside raven loop immediately followed by another half twist. The track levels out and the train enters the final brake run before returning to the station
