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.

When that one guy said, “ah hell nah,” when the seats leaned back, I felt that.
Yessssssssssss , instant regret
This ride gave me a mild form of PTSD
This ride essentially feels like a card accident
😭😭
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.
the designer of this ride also designed Twisted Colossus, so there's that.
Fully agree. Just went on this yesterday, first rollercoaster I’ve ever been on that was borderline unpleasant, questioning if I would do it again.
Fantastic experience though 😅 🎢
classic alan
This ride is unbelievably awesome. Funny how crazy it is, and I still feel safer on it than most rides. The restraints are very reassuring on this ride.
Just went on this coaster yesterday for the first time. I’ve never felt genuine terror from a ride in my adult life like this! Exceptionally aggressive, but totally fun!
Never agreed more. It was my first time at six flags so my lean mean toughness got humbled real quick on this ride.
Me too! Frightened me like crazy
how many times did you whack your head
This and Tatsu genuinely scare me in all the right ways 😅
@@mattpn2 tatsu isnt scary, x2 is horrifying for people who dont expect it
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. I feel like I could ride anything now 💀💀 lmaoo X2 really does that to you
Omg same but with Tastu for me!!
Sadly I didn’t have time to ride X2🙁I’m def making it a priority next time! Can’t imagine how bad X2 is if it’s worse then Tatsu like everyone says😂 I cried on Tatsu but I love being completely terrified and frozen like that! Soo much adrenaline you feel so good after you get off like you can conquer anything hahaha!
@@madisonwren3947 Tatsu is nothing compared to X2
Thats great! And i agree. If you can ride x2, you can ride anything. Im glad your phobia is done
Oh hell nah x2 is the most extreme an the best
Wow they lied to you😂
i've ridden hundreds of roller coasters, i sky dive, ride a motorcycle, and i even worked at six flags when i was a kid, so i came into this ride with my usual nonchalant attitude, but x2 genuinely brought out a different type of feeling than i've ever felt with all my thrill seeking. absolutely loved this ride, especially at night.
This coaster is incredible. That first drop where it flips you over so that you are falling face-first to the ground is nuts.
It drops you face down twice on that same loop. Whoever designed this roller coaster is a psychopath. 😅
@@SancLunaticAlan Schilke is definitely a physco
This ride destroyed my fear of spinning on roller coasters. As intense and terrifying this ride could be, the adrenaline you get from it makes you want to ride it again
You addicted to ride now bro? So you're a renewed man we could say?
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!!! Too bad its not shown on this video, but its def worth a ride, even without all the extra theming and music. Theming and music is absolute icing on the cake when its operating all together!
California? More like North America nothing comes close
@@benryck That's pretty controversial, even if it's my #1, people are gonna scream at you saying either SteVe, Velocicoaster, IG, Fury, or El Toro is better.
@@hellacia8151 I didn’t say it’s the best. I said there’s nothing like it. It’s personally my favorite. But your right there’s a bunch of others that could take it. I just meant there’s nothing like x2 in North America
I lose my breath every time on that first drop 😂
GOOOIIING DOOOOOWN!!!
Extremely intense doesn't even begin to describe it.
That drop in those seats is the most intense on any roller coaster I’ve ever been on. You just feel it so hard lol
Love this coaster almost felt like I was gonna fall out! It was awesome😅
Yeah I don’t like that feeling. I can’t believe this ride is legal lol.
@@teamoney7350 my guy I was 10 when I went on this and don't remember almost falling out idk maybe I was just one of those kids that didn't care or thought about falling
OK so I live in the east coast and I've been on an s&s freespin, is the sensation similar or completely different. One day I'll get to magic mt.
There were points where I felt like I *had* fallen out.
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)
bro that was literally what happened to me, exact stuff
It used to play metallic enter sandman over the speakers god I miss that.
Tatsu at night is so intense
@@xJavier009 yup. I rode on it last week at night, when i saw the climb i almost die, the whole ride was pretty good but scary. + the loop , one of my fav part of tatsu.
SPREAD THE GOSPEL JESUS DIED FOR US REPENT FROM UR SINS PLEASE DONT SAY BAD WORDS REMEMBER TO PRAY! HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
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.
Try some dramamine. It makes you tired but also makes you feel invincible
I remember the first time I went on this, it was the back row around 11am, and I cried the whole way up. After me and my dad got off, I told him I wanted to go again.
That’s exactly how I was with Tastu!!!
Sadly I didn’t have time to ride X2 🥺 I’m definitely making it a priority next time!
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.
My brother recommends it should I go?
@@Xiaofanboyhaven’t been on it but sure, you’ll feel accomplished too after if you do it.
I didn't feel like I couldn't breathe I just had a good time
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! :)
Nice! Good for you ❤
I relate to the dissociating part Lol
😂😂😂
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
Honestly, the last time I remember the fire and music working was 2008
Fire and music worked for me Halloween season of 2019. I went this past Wednesday and neither were working.
Same I was there the 20th and no effects. But the experience was outta this world.
Fire and music was working on first week of October
Went November 9th fire and music weren’t working
I’ve a huge fan of rollercoasters but this coaster by far is the most terrifying one I’ve ever been on. Scared the crap out of me. The seats turn while you’re going down. I’m not riding it ever again because I’m too scared. Literally cried on this ride. Lol
I’ve ridden this once and that was in the front row, I honestly can not imagine riding in the back if it’s that intense in the front I’m gonna be unconscious in the back
I rode it in the back and hated the entire thing
@@charlottewantstodie2308 🫡🫡🫡🫡
The back is unbearable :/
I've been to Cedar Point and MM and X2 is the BEST coaster I've ever been on. It's a little short, but the ride makes up for it. Best 1st drop is Millennium Force. Going over that crest never gets old.
As someone who is more afraid of drops than twisty turns, I see this as an absolute win
Not too big of a fan of drops either, but omg I love twists and turns. I'm ridden this coaster so much and i love it everytime 🤩
I honestly feel bad for people who are terrified of rollercoasters or just this ride, X2 is just an amazing experience so much fun
The music is part of the experience, they need to get that going ASAP
Ive been on x2 so many times and have yet to ride it with the audio. It has to be on my bucket list
@@OGMagg I got it with audio 2 times
@@JJJJ-he8bz aww lucky, was this recently?
@@OGMagg in 2019. My first ride was with audio I can’t tell you how hyped I was
TheRealMagg Amen 😂 I’ve been going to MM for 8 years and have never gotten a ride with audio :(
The clacking before the drop give me the chills lol
That’s the worst 🤣🤣🤣
Cause you realize gravitys taking over and theres nothing that can be done at that point 😭
Awwww I see they've got the video and flames again. Now if they could only bring the music back...
Did they just fix the video ??? I’m happy to see that
@@Nexusman39 I'm assuming they did. I've been a few times over the past few months and it was down. But the music is what adds to the tension and experience of the ride.
As much as I love roller coasters, I don’t think I’ll be doing this one…EVER. 😂
why this coaster isn’t even that intense I’ve been on it you don’t even feel the first drop
@@poopsiazoipe9640 LOL 🤣
@@poopsiazoipe9640literally i didnt feel the drop
@@poopsiazoipe9640 stop cappin u know u cried on this😂😂😂
U HAVE TOOOO IT’S SO FUN
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
Now this is a ride that I would definitely chicken out on 😓
Oh no, if you ever go to SFMM and NOT get on X2, then what are you even doing there?
@@loui30 I’m just a chicken lol. I’ll get on a ride like Goliath though
@@Brownie278Goliath is taller and faster than X2
Me and my brother were waiting 3 hours for the ride and it broke down 😢 we got on thr viper and tetsu so it was definitely a bust for us
@@dannaestrada4859 oh dang, that sucks
I rode this for the first time today and I was so terrified the entire ride. I was filled with dread when we slowly returned to the loading platform because I feared there was more to the ride.
Haha isn’t that the WORST on intense rollercoasters when you think it’s over thanking Jesus you made it out alive but then it just keeps going 😂😂
This. I was so scared there was more
Right
Rode X2 for the first time during Fright Fest this year. It was life changing and I miss it so much 🥲
This is the one roller coaster that genuinely made me scream. Would 100% ride again
You’ve GOT to be KIDDING, this exists!? HELL YEAH
Scary part about this, you never know when you’re gonna go down, you have to look backwards!😂
The false drop almost got me
@@punker4Real I went on this for my birthday, it was fun!
Lmaoooo
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
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'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.
This is nothing like you’ve ever experienced before.
Fun fact : this coaster was supposed to be for cedar point...not sfmm
Nothing at cedar point compares to this ride.
@@cashprinter5000 correct
@@aarongutridge1952 In terms of intensity yeah x2 is probably the most intense but overall a ton of CP rides are better
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 !!!
almost perfect except for the length - i agree
‼️‼️
I’ve been to a lot of theme parks around the world but this ride is by far the best experience I ever had on a rollercoaster
YES 10/10 🎢🎢
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
I've never gotten physically ill on a roller coaster until I rode this one. That first drop is not for the weak.
On our first trip to Six Flags me and my friends naively decided to ride X2 first since it was so close to the entrance. I screamed louder on that thing than I ever have or had in my life. Now I can go on any roller coasters with ease! This ride changes you, lol
What in the upside down flip it and reverse it hell is this roller coaster? 😂 Omg! Never heard of it or seen one like this but I want to ride it! Craziest part of this all is I work at six flags! 😂 (chicago)
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.
All the giant hypercoasters, all the 10-inversion beasts and I still have never been on a coaster as good or as an intense as this. This is the only rollercoaster that's made me feel genuine fear in my adult life lol
My cat rode this, now he's a tiger 🐅
I was on this back in 2003 and never forgot it. It was terrifying
God the first 10 seconds on this ride after the drop feel like you’re going to die, after that it’s SO FUN
Now this is one of my bucket list coasters.
This ride still terrifies me, the first drop is absolutely insane! I get nervous every time I get on it
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
First time thought it was broken when the seats started flipping. Totally amazing ride.
It's actually so genius that the first lift hill is backwards and before the drop the seats tilt upwards. Makes it so even if you're in the back, you have no idea when that first drop is gonna happen. Craziest rollercoaster ever made.
1:35 “Holy Shit” Thats truly how the first drop feels like on this lol
I just got home from SixFlags and I had to revive my experience watching this video. 😅😅 Out of all the rides there, this is the scariest!!! 😮 I loved the adrenaline and fear ❤
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!
Am I the only one who gets incredibly roughed up on this ride?? Like every time the seat whiplashes in some way mid ride and I bang my head super hard, like it’s legit the only reason I won’t ride it anymore and I seem to be the only one who’s affected by it 😂😂
I don’t remember it going backwards when I went, but then again my eyes were closed the whole time lol.
Mine too it was so intense
Bruhhh
This is by far the most intriguing and fun rollercoaster I have been on. Too cool.
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!
Just rode this for the first time this Monday... BEST ride ever!!
This is the only ride I've been on Where in line I'm rethinking my life decisions
This is the only coaster in America better than the Millennium Force at Cedar Point. The wild forces on your body are inexplicable on the hill just before the flames with the hill, inversion and rotation all at once. Terrific experience.
Millennium force isn’t even the best ride at cedar point
this is the best roller coaster ive ever been on. the gyroscopic seats are insane!! hope i can ride it again sometime
I remember riding this back when it was first released. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had on a coaster
As a Coaster enthusiast, I don't EVER back out of rides. I'm not scared of any roller coaster! Even from the age of 8, I was never afraid. This was the ONLY RIDE I EVER chickened out on when I was 11! I regretted it everyday until I finally got the chance to ride it again a year later. BYFAR THE SINGLE MOST INSANE ROLLER COASTER I'VE RODE IN ALL MY YEARS of riding hundreds of rides!
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.
Made that mistake myself, we took it first because it was just right at the entrance... Rest of the rides are great but felt like I could just read a book or talk about the weather.
When I rode that and the drop I was like "HOLY CRAp PLEASE I HAVE ONE LIFE"😆❤️
The only coaster that ever got me, that first and second hill will rock ya ! Nothing like it
Got my daughter to ride this thing for the first time. She’s 11 and we rode in the back row. Just 2 years ago she conquered the incredible coaster as her first big girl ride. Can’t believe how brave she is at such a young age. Proud papa ❤
This was the ride that made me weak . We got off , ran outside , ran down and around the first turn on the exit path where my daughter and i sat on the cement and held each other in shock from such extreme terror . I have been on them all and this is the only one i fear .
Lost my cell phone on this one 🤣
I don’t care what anyone says, this ride is a marvel in engineering! I love everything about it!
Only item I ever lost on a ride was on this one. Of course it was my phone. It was inside a buttoned pants pocket and still shook it loose. It went to join the graveyard of items that now rest below the coaster.
This is why I empty my pockets before getting on any coaster that has loops and twists.
My hometown park, go on this all the time. Love it
X2 lived up to the hype and more. Most insane coaster I’ve ever ridden.
when you build a coaster so awesome and intense it puts you out of business lol
My stupidity I rode this first ride and threw my back out. Had to wait a week to go back to enjoy the rest of the park
Dawg when i went on this ride hours ago i cried 💀💀
Been to a lot of them parks all over the country and this was the best coaster I've been on. Worth the 45 minute wait.
Got on this again for the 30th time in my life riding it and it still scares me but it’s a gray scare of a a ride the adrenaline is crazy it’s almost like you don’t get a chance to be scared cause so much is going on. If you can get through this you can get through any ride…my 8 year old road jt today as well as all the other coaster for the first time in his life going and I was shocked to see him handle x2 so well…he had me emotional all day because I was so proud of him at 8 handling all the coasters
BY FAR my absolute favorite Rollercoaster. It feels amazing.
My immediate thought after watching this... "Wtf ? There were flames?" Roflmao (never saw em cuz my eyes were tightly shut whole ride after first 10 seconds)
Whoa, whatta ride...
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
The design of this coaster is absolutely brilliant.
I was at the front of this ride and I was so terrified that I went right back in Line and rode it again! 😂
Back row always on this 🔥🔥🔥
I felt the “oh hell nah when the seats leaned
I literally sharted on this damn coaster. Hands down the scariest thing I’ve ever been on. The only thing I can compare is the pretzel dive loop on Tatsu.
Rode X2 last month back row and it was so insane that my AirPods fell out of my pocket... 😭
watching this makes me wanna bawl my eyes out, i'm such a wimp
Man, the whiplash on that last drop!
Yes, it's pretty brutal if you are not prepared for it.
@@ryanthemepark I’ve been on it twice. Don’t remember where I was sitting, but it was very intense. The first time I had no idea what was going to happen. My heart was racing! Tatsu is also intense in the back on that pretzel loop. Too many G’s for me…
nah no whiplashes on x2 hell nah this ride is #1 in the park
@@stephenn77 isn't tatsu closed right now?
@@thepredator4480 I guess. Don’t think they’re repainting it, but they should!
I went on this ride when I was 8 it was extremely fun and super terrifying, this video dosnt even give justice to how scary it was lol.
Went to six flags a week ago with one of my best friends. We JUST had to get a back seat and started screaming for our lives on the drop.
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!
Being able to watch the rails as you ride must be pretty cool
It flips you face down right at the drop and your like behind the track for a sec, insane
The most innovative coaster I've ever been on, what a rush!
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
Went on it for the first time last night. Truly insane experience
