 Overview

X is a revolutionary roller coaster - the world's first Fourth Dimension.  The ride, designed by Arrow Dynamics, features prototype vehicles that can spin independently 360-degrees forwards or backwards on a separate axis.

X stands 215-feet in the air and reaches a maximum speed of 76 MPH.  The 3,610-foot long layout features six inversions including an amazing sky-dive, two raven turns, one back-flip, and a twisting front flip.

X's intimidating structure towers over you as you drive up Magic Mountain Parkway.  It is recommended that you arrive early and run to the ride as soon as the gates open in order to avoid Xtremely long lines later in the day.

Although the ride has received mostly rave reviews from enthusiasts and is a huge hit among the general public, X is not flawless.

Due to design flaws - particularly with the trains - the ride's opening (originally schedule for summer of 2001) was delayed until January of 2002.  In June, the ride closed for several months in order to modify the trains.  In August of 2002, the ride re-opened and has been running smoothly ever since.

X is an amazing, unique roller coaster that offers sensations you will not be able to experience anywhere else in the world.
