to watch an on-ride video goto http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/coasters/video/video.html

I think we all have by now.

yeah, i think its an amazing ride tho.

I h8 the fact that in Britain the highest they can build a coaster is 215ft[:(][:(] that means no: Strata Coasters, Giga Coasters Multi Dimesional Coasters B&M Speed Coasters... the list goes on for ever (we do Get the WOrlds First, Only 10 looping RC and i been on it 24 times

i am sure the pepsi max big one is 235 feet high

the coasters that high aren't even that fun or intense.
MF, A giga coaster, is tame, and not that fun. The 2 main air hills also don't provide air, at max 0 gs. They should call it Millennium Forceless.
A strata coaster wouldn't be intense because of its height either, and B&M Speed Coasters are the tamest coasters ever, and have bad air.
The smaller coasters are the really great ones. There are coasters that are 70-80ft. tall that are hundreds of times better than giga and strata coasters. And Tonerre de Zeus in Europe is probably way better than any giga, strata, or hyper coasters [;)]

Nope it's 213ft high, but isn't this 215ft limit only there for alton towers? Because I know that Alton has height restrictions but I never heard of a height restriction for the whole country.
But anyway we're going off topic, this was about X [:p] I can't imagine you heard of X by now, it's like the coaster everybody with some interest in coasters knows [:)]

getting back to x.....doesn't like practically chew it self up or somethign...that is y it is closed on wednesdays

Alton Towers height restrictions is tree height, meaning they cant build above tree height. Most of the rest of the UK dont have a height limit, apart from Urban Area's, where there will be a specific height for different areas

the rotation "mechanisms" are chewed up greatly because of the constant excessive friction. This is way the ride is slightly rough on tuesdays, yet smooth on thursdays. All they do is "putty it up", they seal the slight blemishes and check for other bad things.

I made it my duty to follow the construction of that ride till the day it was opened, i know everything about it, so yes i do indeed, kurtis, know about and have seen it.

LOL, sounds like Alton Towers needs to plant some California Redwoods, or some Giant Sequoias, that would fix all their height problems real quick! Seriously, do you think it's ever occurred to them to just spend some money planting taller trees, instead of spending so much to dig into the ground?

P.S.: Did anyone else notice the credits on that video? "Courtesy of Cedar Point Planning and Design"!!! Is this a hint? Could CP be planning a new 4D? I think it would be awesome if they built one that makes X look totally lame!

yer it shud be 2 times better........2x [:P]

Yeah, as in XXL! [approve]

How many "multi demension coasters', 4d, coasters are there??

omg zan,there are like 10 placed all around the world.
no there is only one 4d coaster, and that is X.

so multi dimesion coasters only go in a few positions compared to X?????

X is a multi deminsion coaster [;)]

x is the best[:D]

nope [;)]

hath any of you watch the video links.

still a 4d in the UK would be nice

yes it would.
