Cutting edge one-of-a-kind roller coaster designed to break all the rules! X is the world's first 4th dimensional thrill. Unlike traditional coasters where trains only parallel the track, X is pushed to the extreme. For the first time, riders will race in prototype vehicles that can now spin independently 360-degrees forwards or backwards on a separate axis -- creating an unprecedented 'don't know what to expect next' sensation. Perched on the EDGE of a massive 20-foot wide wing-shaped vehicle, riders will plummet 200 feet to the ground - head-first face down -- and race at 76 miles-per-hour spinning head-over-heels and performing forward and backward acrobatics through the massive 3,600-foot twisting steel maze.
