Ouch! X is really bumpy, but fun! It's one of the most intense coaster i've ever been on, but IMO it's really overated.

X is the best...once you loose your fear of conventional coasters...X will be there to reinstate that adrenaline rush in your veins ....

Ride X in the front for an amazing drop....

Back for ultimate disorientation!!

IMO this ride is very bumpy but it's fun. I would never ride it again but I think everyone should ride it once.

Front seat on this coaster was the best ride I have ever had on any coaster.....cannot get enough of this one, and it remains solidly in my top five coasters of all time. I am amazed that a ride that looks as scary as this one is nothing but pure fun the entire way. This ride alone is worth the trip to SFMM.

An insane ride that simply can't be described. I would really recommend this beast, though it doesnt posess the normal attributes of a great coaster, it is perhaps the world's greatest thrill ride. 5/5 for a thrill ride, 4/5 for a coaster.

The best coaster I've ever been on. In fact, X should get the "Best Coaster In The World" award.

Well Im wondering if everyone rode the same roller coaster as me or not. This ride reminds me of Viper at Six Flags Great Adventure. Its a unique ride that you can't pass up, but it is overly rough. Now where the differences stop is the ride itself. If you dont mind enduring some pain, it has a lot of cool elements to it and worth getting on. Just be prepared for a headache afterwards. Those that say this is one of the best coasters out there, obviously haven't been on that many before. Because it is far from the best and well Goliath on the other side of the park is much better and a LOT smoother.

This is my favorite coaster at SFMM (my home park). It is a very unique coaster and very intense. I love it.

It's a pretty tight coaster, but its no longer the only 4th dimension coaster. Theres one already open in Japan, and another being constructed elsewhere. I think X is a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, its fun, but its a bit short, [which keeps the line moving faster] and its not all that extreme. It does add a new twist, but the leg bashing hurt. ouch. i still think its a good coaster, even though i walked off thinking i pulled a muscle in my stomach

Every time I try to describe it to someone I'm at a loss for words. That says a lot. You have to ride it. Long slow line but it was worth it.

It's just awsome, the trick to making it not feel so bumpy is to make sure your harness is really tight!

The Washing Machine. What a mind-blowing experience this was. I've never been less certain of what happened during a ride that I am concerning X. A must-ride and worth however many hours you end up waiting.

This ride is so rough on the outside of the train, but the drop was awesome when you flip over. Great ride anyways!
