at the 19th of January X got stuck in in the second raven turn and continued his way back to the dip before it. It probably happened because SFMM added new trims to X just like on D?????????ja vu

X looks like a great coaster,but I think SFMM should have waited alittle longer for arrow to work out the probems.I hope to ride it someday.

I feel X goes fine on speed, they trimmed it for "safety" reasons which is idiotic in my opinion, coaster ran fine and didn't really caryr much speed, it was just fine, g's there are also low. not many at all.

ever think that x's trims are there for stress not safety for the rider? Considering how much stress related issues X had I'm sure the trims are they to releave stress off the track by slowing down the trains some.

I also think it is so the track will last longer Because the enormous trains have a huge weight. And Xtreme15, it wasn't so fast in the second raven. Actually it aleady was going really slow there.

yeah, but i said they fixed the stress problems in 2002 throughout its downtime but i do supose slowing the trains down would cause less friction and wouldnt heat the rails making them expand and u know all that physics crap. so yeah........

errrrrr stuff
