Six Flags Great America opens X-Flight roller coaster

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.

The "12-foot drop" has me excited.

I'm expecting to hit this one around the end of July to complete the set of Wing Riders... we'll see :)

Tony Clark was on hand covering the opening for Real Milwaukee.

He cracks my **** up.

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

All the reviews I have read have been nothing but positive. SFGAm seems to have a winner on its hands.

"They're called coaster geeks." :)

Man, they are really excited about that keyhole....hehehe
