Riding X2!
I remember when the first time I rode the X2 a few years ago, three long hours of waiting for to ride something that will take a few minutes and then it would be over. Then I started wondering, if x2 has so many people waiting in line it's obviously because it's a cool ride. My siblings also pressured me to ride the coaster, and I just couldn't say "no" when they were all excited.
Don't get me wrong, I love roller coasters, it's fun and exciting to ride everytime but the X2 was a whole new experience!

What Makes X2 So Scary?
Overall X2 is a fun ride!
X2 was the scariest ride I ever rode! I love roller coasters and it's rare when I really get scared when riding one. This is why it was a scary ride.
- The ride takes you backwards, so you don't know what to expect. Is it going to take us down by surprise? or what?
- The ride takes spins you 360 degrees forward and back.
- You rotate front and back through out the ride.
- you start riding the coaster with 200-foot face-down dive. (Pretty high when its just starting).
- It goes really fast, 76 mph.
When you're living all these things at once, it's pretty scary.
