X is receiving a lot of beating, as it gives a lot of beating to it's riders, but it still is a pretty unique ride - and some (like myself) haven't given up hope that it's full potential as a surreal, massive mazed and swoop curved aerobatics skydive laughing machine will again shine one day.
I haven't ridden Maverick, but aren't the two like apple and orange?
P.S. SFMM has gotten a lot better in terms of staff friendliness over the last years, what's bugging about the persons encountered there is more like the people (guests) who go there... but SFMM can't really choose them, can it?
