Is X2 as good as it looks on video? an is SFMM near vegas

X2 was exponentially better with the new trains than it was with X. Or at least in the wheel seats it was. I think a big difference between the old and new trains is that if you ride aggressively (i.e. keep leaning forward), you can get a fun and intense ride instead of just a head-pounder.

 

As for getting there from Las Vegas, it can be done in 4:15-4:30. Granted I left Vegas at 7:00 Sunday morning, but it's still a fast drive. I went I-15 over Cajon Pass and 210 from San Bernardino through Pasadena over to the I-5. I did it in 4:15 going down there, and would have done it the same time had I not been dead-ass tired on the way back to Vegas, and need to stop multiple times to take naps.

Make sure that your restraint is on really tight. If it is not you tend to flop around a bit more in your seat which is not a very good experience.

First drop and raven turn were out of this freaking world incredible. The rest of the ride was just okay in comparison.

I've only ridden it once, though, and only as X2, so I'm not exactly the best source.
