I never rode it. Last time I was there was a few years ago when they were upgrading the ride. Next week I'll be there and I don't think it'll be up. I don't think I'm destined to ride X2.

rustyinpeace Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 To be fair, X2 improved it's reliability dramatically since when it was known as X. It pretty much breaks down in the same rate as the rest of the coasters there presently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You're not missing much except for the credit IMO. It's one of the rides I don't bother with at the Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMMGeek27 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi everyone... again.. SFMM on Columbus day? good, bad, busy, dead? I have had to tweak my itinerary and will be hitting the park on the 14th oct instead of the last week of September  Columbus Day is always extremely dead! It's a really great day to go!

Sir Clinksalot Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Mini park update from yesterday. Overall it didn't seem like the park was very busy but the lines for FT, Jet Stream and Roaring Rapids were long. Â Did single rider on LL:DOD and they didn't fix the grease issue as I noticed after I left the park. If you are planning on riding it during WCB best to wear a black shirt. Also rode Colossus, trying to get in as many rides as possible, just in case. Â Permanent railings up in parking lot for the buses. If you are in the first lot, way faster to walk. Took almost 10 minutes to get to the entry using the bus. This was the ONLY piece of Fright Fest construction I saw Half permanent queue, half temporary. Better than nothing. New stilt walker. You're welcome. Scream is still running only 1 train. Better than nothing. Longest Jet Stream line I've seen in awhile. Even the bulldozer wants help. Apocalypse is closed. Didn't see any work going on. Not better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_IntaMAN_ Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Regarding Fright Fest, a friend of mines who went to Scare LA said that SFMM's booth were promoting new scare zones, as well as a complete retheme of Jokester's Hideout. Anyone heard more? Edited August 25, 2013 by _IntaMAN_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmullin Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So I was right in a sense? It would suck if it's not open for WCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jello_Biafra Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Apparently the lift hill chain broke on X2. Do you think they'll be able to fix it by Saturday or will they have to order the part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wow lots of big name coasters down all over the country. Â Magic Mountain - X2 & "Pocky" 6 Flags Great Adventure - El Toro Kings Dominion - Intimidator 305 Â What's going on??? Is this some secret government program to limit our fun before the end of summer? That Obama... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerCoasterAwesome Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Mini Update from Sunday August 25, 2013 Hopefully X2 will be back up and running soon Some re-tracking work Apocalypse is currently closed as well but they finally cleaned up behind Apocalypse In case you didn't know where we are! X2 is currently closed after the lift chain broke. The Full Throttle crane Full Throttle No 2014 activity to report over by Déjà Vu's former spot Maybe one day Déjà Vu's footers will be removed, not likely though! Maybe the 2014 attraction will be for the water park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Possibly an inspection but i can see that some work has been done to that particular turn This was how the turn looked about two weeks ago prior to the closure They've done something to this particular turn maybe not re-tracking but something happened that forced the park to close the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ok, just some routine summer retracking. Hopefully it opens back up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
