★Now Open! X launches into a new galaxy, becoming X2.


X, the world's first 4th dimension thrill ride, has once again pushed all limits and taken extreme to the next level. This $10 million investment features completely redesigned, sleeker trains and introduces all-new, innovative state-of-the-art visual, audio and sensory effects.X moves from the 4th dimension to the 5th becoming X2!

With its 360° rotating seats and head-first, face down drops, X has been one of the most popular thrill rides on the planet. With the redesign, X2 takes you on a journey to a unique and unchartered dimension of extreme only Six Flags Magic Mountain ( in Los Angels)can deliver.

Unlike traditional coasters where trains only parallel the track, sends X2 riders screaming around its 3,600-foot maze of steel track aboard massive wing-shaped trains where the seats extend off of the track to the sides of the vehicle, allowing them to indepen
dently rotate you head over heels, forward and backward creating a one-of-a-kind "don't know what to expect next" sensation. X2 launches the extreme thrills of X into a new dimension with the addition of a light experience that changes with every ride.
