X Reopens - CoasterBuzz

If we were to purchase fastlane, would we beable to use all of those 4 uses on X alone? And at the same time?

I never have to deal with FastPass at Sfwoa, because theres no point as most of the rides are walk ons. But hearing things like 7hr long lines, that's insane. I don't want to put up with that sh*t. If it's even open around July 20th.

I heard from a guest relations employee that X will be closed "for a very long time."

And what ever happend to the Six Flags website? The only update they have done in MANY months is to remove all references to X. It is sad to see the free publicity from the Travel Channel and last night's program wasted.

"Just when you thought Deja Vu had a terrible maintenance record, X comes and tops it!"

By the way... I will personally kill the next person who writes to CoasterGallery.com to ask when I am adding SFMM pictures. (Sorry, I just had to vent!)

Why is it going to be closed for so long?

the RUMOR is that there were stress fractures.....on track and train.....(the rumor didn't specify which track). There's a TON of unusual stresses placed on the coaster due to the originality....once it gets worked out, I'm looking for another cheap flight to CALI....

Guys, we saw it testing at Coaster Con. It was Tuesday, 18th of June and I saw it testing three times around 6 p.m. I first saw it from the highway and thought my mind was playing tricks on me. Next, I saw it while driving next to it in the parking lanes. And then I saw it, along with a small group of ACErs, walking to the front gate. And to think of all of the nights I didn't bring my camera....

Does X have 3 trains or only 2? While it was open, how many trains did it usually run? How many was the most it ever ran?

what do you mean how trains does it usually run, Well, its a six flags coaster so the answer is 1 train ;) seriously though, there has been reports where the ride has been operating with 2 trains in Janurary and february I believe, but a 3 train op is still way out of the question.

Long, VERY LONG. The lines for X ranged from 3 hours up to close to 7 hours on holidays!

I went to SFMM about 4 weeks ago when X was working, and the park closed at 8PM, and strangly enough at 7.55PM, they still allowed you to queue up for the ride, and yet the queue was 3hrs long, also People were still queueing up at that time which was shocking, so I wouldnt be suprised if that last person got their ride at 11PM, and you're right, if only it were a saturday where the queue would be upto 5hrs, then people wouldnt be going home until 3-4AM, I sure wouldnt like to be an X ride op working on a Saturday

Don't ever title a thread like this again! :( Unless of course it really IS open. I haven't been this devastated since I found out the truth about Santa......

That is the best ride on the planet.

Brad, just know that I'm feeling it just as much as you are. This sucks, big time. I don't see a possbile rebound from this amount of disappointment. Sure I am excited for Cali, but I know I will ball my eyes out when we go to MM and I lay my eyes on X.

steelraptor,

Your post name has NOTHING to do what you asked about when it is going to reopen, but your post is title "X Reopens."

This post is mis-leading.

"Escuse me, can you tell me where the heck the Mystery Lodge is"?

My post from Coasterforums...

OK PEOPLE!!!
Lets put an end to this....
Mr Coker and I visited SFMM today and we had a chance to speak to Andy Gellardo himself along with Amy Means..Direct quote from Andy.. "X will open soon. The current problem lies with the rotational mechanism and NO structural damages are the cause. Alan(Schilke) is currently re-engineering the problem as we speak and he will have a working solution very soon"

I asked him soon as in next week? He said "probably not that soon, but definitely by the end of this month."
There you have it folks...rotational problem only.. nothing more.

On a side note.. Dejavu was closed most of the day today, but when it briefly opened, Andy and Amy took us up for a front row ride... man, is that thing INTENSE!!!

Thanks for the news Chris. Still gotta get my book signed! LOL. I too tried Gurnee's Deja Vu over the weekend. Didn't quite have the intensity of the Invertigos, and I didn't like being perpendicular to the ground that long. But backwards rocked! And sure enough, it malfunctioned just as we got to it!

X is planned to reopen july 20th or 21st. O.S.H.A. will be inspecting the ride on the 19th. The only flaw with X is in the mechnism that rotates the seats. As time goes on the seats are beginning to jerk around instead of rotating smoothly like planned.
