X equals amazing!!! - CoasterBuzz

Well, made my first trip to ride X today, and was I ever blown away. What an incredible ride! Surely my favorite coaster ever. I couldn't stop sreaming and flinging my arms and legs around. From start to finish this ride delivers. For all you who rode it, post your opinions on the ride. WHOOO!!!

Best New Ride 2001.........X
My number 2 steelie after SRoS:SFNE. Does that make me an airtime whore?
Best First Drop, squeeking by MF.
Best New Restraint System. Best OTSR period.
Best Lift Hill View, more time to look around than MF.
Most ReRideable inverting coaster.

It's all about that first drop. Even after all the hype, this ride blew me away. Best rollercoaster ever. My only complaint, they way they handle loading. It takes about 2 minutes from the time the gates open, until you leave the station, assuming everything goes off without a hitch. I can't imagine what the wait time will be for this ride when it opens to the public.

To load up a train and get it dispatched in just 2 minutes sounds excellent to me, I was expecting far worse loading times of upto 4-5 mins possibly, so I'm puzzled why you are complaining about this, I would be applauding the Ride Ops if it was that quick, Sounds like SFMM has some great workers on it. I have seen far worse loading times on many other coasters(AHEM X-Flight 5-6 mins, AHEM)

WickedScorp: What ride were you on? I was there all day on Monday and never saw anything close to a 2 minute dispatch. It took that long (and longer) just to check the harnesses!! I think the only time they were close to that kind of dispatch time was when they were running one train empty for the first 1 1/2 hours, but even then the gates still opened and the seats still rotated forwards and then backwards before the train left the station.
