Six Flags Magic Mountain today announced an impressive new twist on the park's most popular, state-of-the-art coaster, X. They are making a $10 million investment that features completely redesigned, sleeker trains and introduces all-new, innovative state-of-the-art visual, audio and sensory effects, moving X from the 4th dimension to the 5th and become X2!

"Since it opened in 2002, X, with its 360-degree rotating seats and head-first, face down drops, has been one of the most popular thrill rides on the planet," stated Jay Thomas, Six Flags Magic Mountain Park President. "With the redesign, X2 will take even the most daring riders on a journey to a unique and unchartered dimension of extreme only Six Flags Magic Mountain can deliver."Unlike traditional coasters where trains only parallel the track, X sends riders screaming around its 3,600-foot maze of steel track aboard massive wing-shaped trains where the seats extend off the track to the sides of the vehicle allowing them to independently rotate guests 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 unique new tunnel and light experience that changes with every ride. X2 is one of 14 coasters at Six Flags Magic Mountain — Southern California's leader in thrills!
