    For anyone wondering what has happened since this video: La Ronde has cancelled their planned installation of the coaster as Vipère, as the coaster has disappeared from storage and the concrete footings were poured but later removed - probably for the best. Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage, a single-rail RMC Raptor, has been put up where First Flight (and Tidal Wave) used to stand and is using its queue building, obviously rethemed to Wonder Woman.

    I remember when X was opened, and I'll never forget that coaster! There was a reason people were willing to withstand a 3+hour queue. It truly felt like flying, far more than any coaster that preceded it. The host isn't kidding about the downtimes though. I remember finally arriving with my group to the front of the line, and just when it was our turn to board the ride had to be shut down. We elected to wait vs whatever token reimbursement the staff offered, and gleefully hopped on 30 minutes later. Worth it.

    The coolest part of the Batman ride was the actual entryway. It was your standard warehouse batcave setup, but in the middle of the room was a hologram of the batmobile. While queuing up for a ride one time, I reached "into" the hologram and pretended to rotate it; upon doing so the hologram actually rotated with my hand! The unit they were using must have had some sort of motion tracking, although no attention was ever drawn to this feature by the entry setup. Just a neat little memory from high school this video brought up. It was a pretty fun coaster too, a little short but my friends and I had season passes so we'd always go on slow days and ride it till we got sick when it first opened.

    I just rode X2 for the first time a few days ago. I was feeling a bit anxious while waiting in line having heard about how crazy and possibly painful the ride is. My experience was that it was incredibly smooth and I had no had slamming even at the end part. I WAS sitting in an inside seat which apparently is smoother, but I'm sure one of your family members had an inside seat, so I'm not sure why some people have such a rough ride. I hadn't been to Magic Mountain for 15 years and X2 was the third ride I went on so I was also worried about getting banged around and feeling bad for the rest of the day in the park. The roughest ride I went on all day was my second ride, Viper. It doesn't seem to have held up so well over the years.

A ride based on an R-rated series might be a tough sell, though, so maybe it could be an overlay of another ride that’s only broken out during later hours. “Hello, and welcome to Space Mountain: the Deadpool Experience. Don’t worry, fellas: unlike that piece of shit coaster that one of our competitors eventually dumped on Ryan Reynolds’s home country, this one won’t try to scramble your eggs.”

My sister, my mom, and I all decided due to both the lack of line and the fact we had never rode Green Lantern before, we would give it a shot. Suffice to say, we never rotated once on that ride, and my sister blacked out as the ride entered into its final drop. My mom had severe bruising on her chest due to her body hitting the restraints. I, meanwhile, did not get injured but Green Lantern left such a mark on us that we still call it the worst ride we have ever been on

    La Vipere was cancelled due to the pandemic. The location it was meant to be in is currently a parking lot for employees. Now an eyesore for anyone going to queue for the Splash when it opens. The lack of rides in that region of the park has reduced traffic to the Manitou (a spinning pendulum), Chaos (a ring back and forth ride with an inversion), and Boomerang (self explanatory).

    Two points to make. First, as far as marketing goes, treating rotational displacement as a dimension is relatively honest. Second, I'd be impressed if anyone made a roller coaster that _didn't_ travel through time (at one second per second, if you aren't measuring with an atomic clock).

Theres another green lantern themed coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ that was opened at the same time, and, despite being a totally different ride system, ALSO has a ball-busting reputation. That one’s because it’s a stand-up coaster and part of the restraints lie right in the problem zone. On the other hand, for reasons unknowable, female riders seem to love it 🤔

    Kirnu is honestly a really fun coaster, not too harsh and not too much adrenaline going through you. Compared to the other coasters, it’s pretty tame. Which is nice for a person who likes roller coasters but tends to blackout if experiencing to many g’s. I have some footage of the coaster running as of 2023, but none on the coaster (didn’t want to lose my phone lol). The Zac spin in sweden is quite big, didn’t get to ride it, but it looked smooth as butter going around the track.
