X2 Six Flags Magic Mountain POV Back Row (extremely intense roller coaster)
Take a ride on one of the most intense roller coasters in the world, X2 in the back row! Located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia California, about a 45 min drive from Universal Studios Hollywood and 2 hours from the Disneyland Resort.
The back row on this ride is just NUTS! Some of the most intense positive g-forces you can experience on a roller coaster. Also the best first drop on any roller coaster! Getting yanked face-first down that 215 foot drop is something every roller coaster and theme park fan has to experience for themselves.

I'm also looking forward to ride on x2, I've been on other intense roller coasters too like viper and full throttle, I wanna know how exactly does it feel when you ride on x2? Is it scarier than viper?
That first loop where it drops you face down, flips you around and drops you face down again is the most terrifying thing ever on any ride. Whoever designed this ride is a psychopath. 😅

I always explain to people what you wrote and they look at me funny. Because when you describe what this coaster does people can’t picture it. But yea that first hill flip then on your stomach going backwards up the second hill, and when you near the top of the second hill your seat flips you the opposite direction the train is going at 80mph. That’s where I give this ride the bow of submission.

I used to have such a phobia of roller coasters. I started off with knotts to raise my tolerance before going to six flags. I went with a couple of friends and told me this “X2” ride wasn’t so bad. I went in believing exactly that, and it fucked me up so bad but in the best possible way. All of the “coasterphobia” I had left was officially dead.

Easily the best coaster experience in all of California. That first drop is gut wrenching and the ride does a great job of keeping you just disoriented enough... then the fire!!!

Didn't feel like i was gonna fall out. It felt fun. Was definitely a little anxious before though.
In 2008, I rode X2 in the evening shortly before the park closed just because the line was short. I jumped on it without any expectations, having never seen how it goes. It was so dark out that I could barely see any other attractions nearby, only lights on the ground. However, I could feel cool breeze wrapping my body as I ascended. The fact that I rode backwards and upside down and at night makes it 50% less scary. All I could see was the dark sky and it was hard to process which position I was in being upside down all over the place. I remember only the music or some sort of action sound that played in the seat and the flames coming out. I'm sure riding it during the day would make the experience day and night different (pun intended)

I used to love coasters. I grew up going to Cedar Point and riding some that were record holders at the time. Now I'm in my 40's and something has changed. I tried to ride a little kids roller coaster recently and I was nauseus and sick the entire ride. Not to mention anything that spins now. I'm glad I got to experience the ones I did when I was growing up. Part of me wishes I could ride something as cool as this without having a bad time. Enjoy your youth kiddies! Ride all the scary rides for me.

This was my intro to rollercoasters. I was the first in line, so I hadn't watched it take off... and I was nervous so I hopped on the back row thinking that meant I wouldn't have to see the danger coming as we went up the hill to fly down. SO. Imagine my horror when we started going backwards. I was not prepared. 😐

I went on this opening day @ 13 and the intensity traumatized me so much that I refused to go on it again. Any other coaster was fair game. But just. Not THAT one. The flip over to face the ground is what got me in particular. I was so small that I felt myself fall into the restraints. I’ll never forget how long it felt staring at the ground before that first drop. I swear the flipping seats were crazier back then. My friends laughed at how bored I looked in the picture because I was dissociating just trying to get through it. After months of building the courage I finally went on again last week and conquered my fear, had a great time, and now I feel like I can do anything! :)

Finally was able to return to California and rode the X2 again this last Friday August 6 and the video monitors, music and fire weren't working. But the ride is the best coaster I've experienced and it seemed even better this time around then three years ago

I’ve been on X2 so many times and it still makes me nervous. One time, a little boy went on it with his mom, poor thing was crying. Gave him some words of encouragement even though I was shitting my pants. When he came back, I asked him how it was. Kid was like “it was alright” 😂
I don't know how many roller coasters I've ridden in the last 20 years (it's a lot) but this was the only one to ever scare the hell out of me
I went on this in 2014 and it just popped back up in my feed and brought back the feels. No other ride fucks up like this one you can't breathe and it's just overwhelming. I''ll probably go on it again one day but it's not something you look forward to lol it's genuinely terrifying.

Top 5 "Oh crap what have I gotten into" moments on roller coasters: 5) Skyrush on the lift hill 4) Fury 325 drop 3) Top hat descent on TTD/KDK 2) Rollback on TTD/KDK 1) X2 First Drop
X2 is amazing, definitely my favorite ride at six flags . That first drop is insane and the flames shooting at your face puts the cherry on top . Highly recommend this one
It’s evil big brother is in Japan. First drop is about as high as Goliath and all it’s raven turns are bigger and it has even more elements with a longer ride…
I wish this coaster was a bit longer tbh... love the face first drop, and both Raven turns. Both flips at 1:50 and 2:03 feel amazing as well.

I wish it was longer too but I feel like many people would not be able to hang with much more !!! The last raven turn is brutal on the calves. I went on this ride right after it opened as X. My friend and I waited 4 1/2 hours to ride it. It was sooo worth it. When they closed it, and reopened as X2, it was even better !! It's sad that Arrow Dynamics went bankrupt building this ride, but they went out with a bang !! Such a innovative concept. X2 is still the only 4x dimensional ride in North America. I believe there are only 4 in the whole world. Awesome ride !!!

I’ve been to so many amusement parks, I’ve road numerous rollercoasters and never once have I ever felt the way X2 made me feel. It’s the best roller coaster experience ever, but it’s also the scariest, but scary in a good way! What a rush!
I rode this ride at about 7:40 pm right before the park closed. It was super dark which made the experience way scarier. The first part where u get lifted up backwards was super scary and facing down to the ground made you feel like you were about to fall down hundreds of feet. TOTALLY RECOMMEND HAHA!
i rode this today. my first roller coaster at 6 flags and my first time there. we usually go to disney. i couldn’t even fit into the restraints so i was sliding around with my eyes closed screaming. the first time i felt genuine terror. viper, goliath, tatsu, riddler, apocalypse, superman, and revolution were absolutely nothing after this. this was terrifying as hell, laying down going in reverse. i opened my eyes once and i was above the whole freeway and parking lot. the photo that came back was goofy as hell. if you are scared of roller coasters and want to overcome your fear, this will terrify the shit out of you and you won’t be afraid of any other ones lmao
I'd thought there weren't any coasters left that would give me a thrill after being used to going to Cedar Point and Kings Island frequently every year, but this one looks like it's worth a trip to California.

I’m curious, did you have to sneak that camera on or did they somehow let you on with it 😂
went on this 4x yesterday. Back is a little more intense with the g forces but the front is wild going straight down that first drop. I recommend trying to do both
I remember writing this when it first came out after they added the flames... scared the shit outta me!
I LOVE THIS RIDE SO MUCH FUB
I got on this yesterday and when I tell you I thought my life was over after that first drop. I closed my eyes and said aiight God this must be it!! Watchn this gave me PTSD!
It flips you face down right at the drop and your like behind the track for a sec, insane
Looks nice and smooth and peaceful
Great family ride
This is the BEST ROLLER COASTER EVER 🙌🏽🙌🏽 my #1
The fear I felt when it went up and dropped on that back-looking seat... I thought I could really die at that moment XD
This video doesn’t even do it justice it’s that mad.
The design of this coaster is absolutely brilliant.
A friend of mine who goes on roller coasters and loves them, actually had a panic attack AFTER she got off this. She tried to hide it and did NOT do it for attention (she hates attention). I just want to warn people who might be prone to panic attacks…..and she wasnt prone to them. It was the first time i had seen her have one, and at the time, i had known her for 5/6 years. She hasn’t been on it since but will wait in line with us and watch us on it with a HUGE smile on her face. She’s such a great person. She wont let us miss what we love because she is so scared of it. And she laughs at us and takes pictures.
That looks like a lot of fun.
I just went on this last week, I rode 3 times. The first ride was the scariest, then 2nd and 3rd felt just ok. It's near the entrance of the park, so if you take this first, the rest of the rides would feel easy. The best part of this ride is that the seat also rotates, so imagine plunging down with your head pointing down and legs pointing to the sky. But the last few twists of the ride were very bumpy, my knees were painful from bumping to the seat. This X2 is so scary that the line up is short, maybe not many people dare to take it. Another must go ride in this park is the twisted colloseus. But the line up is disneyline.
