X Questions

I don't see how they're going to get 3 trains on there. Have you seen the model of it on another site? It's very short. I think the total ride time from the time it leaves the chain is only 40 seconds.

That's the problem with today's steal coasters, they're all short. The parks want to save money and put the rides in small spaces. They need to make the rides longer so they can run more trains and increase capacity.

For 3 train operation there will be one train on the course, one in the load station, and one in the unload station.

Where will the On-Ride-Photo be taken?!?!?!

X will probably have three trains. The cost of the ride is somewhere around $14 million dollars.

3 trains. One on the course, one unloading, on loading. As for X being short, it isn't. Its 3,600 feet. Thats quite long for a prototype coaster.

I dont think its that. There was a period where coasters were getting very long (hypercoasters). Of course X will seem short comapred to those. But if you look at coasters through out history, 3,600 is far from being short.

im pretty sure X will have on ride photos..Its included in the park map's list of 'shopping stuff' to buy

Well, it's 99% confirmed that X will have 3 trains. If you look at the latest update on www.twistedrails.com you'll see the storage track has three sections-one for each train.
