I guess I was just hoping for some more airtime. That park is in serious need of some good ol' fashioned bunny hops. I can't think of any serious air in that park except for Goliath's third hill...

Rode X2 yesterday for the first time. They closed the line at about 9:30 it seemed like, we got in line at 9:15 though. The wait was about 1:45. I like the monitors and the music in the line, but after seeing the video loop go through on the third time and hearing the same songs played once again, I was bored and annoyed with it. I would have liked to see them make an hour long video loop. I never rode the original X, but the train dispatch system seemed really inefficient to me. There were a couple of times where the train had been unloaded and the ops waited 2-3 minutes to open the gates, for what seemed like no reason. The ride itself was totally amazing and disorienting, I rode back-row-right outside seat. The roughness seemed to add to the intensity, but I do wish it were smoother though. The fog and the lighting effects were cool. The fire cannons were not on, and I didn't see them on once all day. Not a good sign for the park's ability to maintain these effects if they are already turning some off two weeks later. I liked the on board music on the lift hill, didn't notice it at all once we went through the drop. I kind of wish that you could hear all-of-the-people-around-you's screams as well, but they're completely drowned out by the music. When's another company going to come out with a 4-D design? I would love one of these with the smoothness of a B&M.

Demon at SFGAm. The airtime in the back row off the first drop is probably even stronger than on Raging Bull. Plus the tunnel with the lights is a great surprise, especially if you don't know it's coming (guess I ruined that for some people on here).
