"X-Flight" The Dissapointment

                Today’s blog post will be reviewing one of Six Flag’s newer roller coasters, X-Flight. X-flight official took off on May 16, 2012. During that time it was the second wing coaster to be built in the United States and only the fourth in the World! It was also the FIRST wing coaster to be announced throughout the entire North America.

                X-Flight travels up to 120 feet and reaches speeds of 55mph with a total length of 3,000 feet. Those stats right there are pretty much the reason why I am not a fan of this ride. First off the height of the coaster is nothing spectacular. I like tall roller coasters and this is far from one. I might as well go to the Ferris wheel.  Secondly, the speed of the coaster is nothing amazing. 55 mph is an average roller coaster speed. I like something with an awesome speed.

                As for the wing coaster in general,  wing coasters are interesting roller coasters and can be somewhat fun. The problem with these types of coasters is that the way they are built restricts them from going too fast and high. The experience of you being hanging away from the tracks is pretty much the same simulated feel of a typically feet dangling coaster.

                In conclusion, I would recommend this ride depending on its wait time. If it’s a long wait, go to something better like Raging Bull. If it’s a short line, you might as well hop on just to say you rode X-Flight.
