X's structure complete at Magic Mountain

Posted Tuesday, July 31, 2001 8:43 AM | Contributed by Karl DeAngelo

The last two track pieces for X finished an amazing twist, which should serve as a perfect finale for what should be an amazing ride. Testing will begin in a few weeks.

I remember when the first support went up to today. It's been good following construction and I look forward to testing.

The whole ride went up in less than 3 months. Now that is fast. Now all they need to do is do an excellent job on LANDSCAPING and LIGHTING so the ride looks it's best for opening day. Let's make educated guesses when we think X will open. I'll say a press day will be on the 13th of September and a grand opening that weekend.

Hmm.....are they going to put any land coverings around X? I mean, if they don't land erosion would be a large problem for the clearing will change during the winter. They should just pave everything under the inverted raven turn and then put trees and crap around the ride, It's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Mormoc said: "Am I the only one who used a new picture of X each day as my wallpaper?" I change it everyday to SFMM coaster pics. Lately it's been X. Right now it's the one of X where you see the completed raven turn ad brake run with the cars shown in the bottom right. But anywho, Yeah i'm thinking early, like first week of September, opening.

X should begin testing in a couple of weeks and should open late august. dejavu is using test dummies and should open in a month, and thrill shot should open in about 2 weeks.

The rails were masked off that way on purpose to decrease wear on the wheels, not because of testing.
