Six Flags Great America opens X-Flight roller coaster
Posted
X Flight — intended to make passengers feel like they're dangling from the wings of an airplane — is the first major coaster introduced at Six Flags Great America since the 2003 opening of Superman: Ultimate Flight.

That was actually a pretty good article. I think my expectations are always low when I read newspaper articles about coasters, but I didn't see any of the usual factual errors or coaster-nerd-offending faux pas, and the whole "inviting in a wing-walker" was actually pretty clever.
Looks like a great ride too - easily the best looking wing-rider layout to date.

I'm expecting to hit this one around the end of July to complete the set of Wing Riders... we'll see :)
I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.
Tony Clark was on hand covering the opening for Real Milwaukee.

Those shots of the riders really seems to capture the fun of the ride. Looks like fun.
