X-Flight's let down

As of late Vekoma has been making smooth rides. The Deja Vu triplets, Flying Dutchman coasters all show this, and if Vekoma keeps it up, hopefully the naysayers will begin to lighten up and realize how much Vekoma has done for the industry.

I actually enjoyed X-Flight much more than S:UF, the overbanked turns are real fun and give a type of airtime like on no other coaster. Now only if X-Flight had a pretzel loop:)

SF = Single Flight, as far as I'm concerned. On weekdays, it's a 50-50 chance that most coasters will be riding one train, only a select few run to capacity. Examples: SFDL's S: ROS, WoA's- Villain, X-Flight, SFKK- Chang, Twisted Sisters, T2.....the list goes on and why I keep coming back to crappy SF capacity, I don't know. X-Flight is a different experience....it's not a bad ride, but it's good on it's own merit.

There's nothing like a woodie...

X-Flight vies for #2 on my list JUST behind Millenium Force. A great ride experience! If you let your hand go free, expect black and blue marks on the shoulders (especially if you get multiple rides). But it doesn't hurt, kinda like a big hickey. While I was there, the reclining mechanism broke AFTER our ride. We were stuck in the train at the station lying on our backs for 20 minutes. But no big deal. The reclining seems to be the biggest problem that recurrs. Although we had monster headache after getting off from all the blood rushing to our heads. In the lying back position, your head is actually a bit lower than the rest of your body.

I've traded in my 2000 Giovanola for a 2002 Arrow X4D :)
My other car is now an Arrow X4D!

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'll most likely be at WOA on tuesday of next week. Check the meeting calendar, and i'll be sure to post trip reports when i get back!
