But this is still a new coaster type that, so far, has been filled with problems. Maybe if this one is better they will become more desireable.

You can't heartline a 4D. That's not heartlining in the full-full. It's just turning.

Actually I think you can heartline it.

Heartline would revolve around that purple thing in the center to give both sides an equal ammount of tug.

It'll be interesting to see the changes, if any that are made to this coaster's trains compared to those on X.

I understand new seats have arrived at SFMM from S&S for X's trains, is there anything different about these or are they just new seats of the same design?

I'm finally going on X on May 21 during an ERT event. I've been wanting to ride it since it first opened. Is it really as rough as some say it is? I'd imagine the ride experience is completely mind blowing.

It is a little rough in the last raven turn, it can someimes cause a small amout of neck pain for a few minutes. Really anything elese that you hear is just people exegerating their expreience on the ride. But yes the first time the ride will blow you away...but it i short.

Last time I was at the park, which was about 2 weeks ago, I got on X twice in a span of 10 minutes. The first ride was in the back of the train, and it was really painful. For comparison sake, the next ride was in the very front row, and it was A LOT smoother. When you go for the ERT day, I'd suggest riding in the very front row.

^ I, too, reccomend riding in the front. It's just a better ride, all together.

Heartline would revolve around that purple thing in the center to give both sides an equal ammount of tug.


While, yes, I suppose that would cut down on unwanted forces, for definitions sake, that wouldn't be a heartline. :wink:

^I never thought of it that way. There should be a 4-d coaster that has 2 zero-g-rolls. One for each side.

Not quite true. "Heartline" is he wrong term. there IS a "heartlin technique", which is way to complicated to explain though. Bascially, it works with two "lines"...

I have no clue why people complain about this, even though I only got one ride this past April. I rode in about the 4th row, and it was fine. There was no pain at all, and the ride was awesome. The first drop and the half-half is what blew me away the most. Nothing like plunging 200 feet facing straight down at the ground, then being flipped over near the bottom. And the half-halves, they were pretty disorienting. The entire train flips one way, while your seats rotate a different way. I olved it, and so far it has only gotten unseeded by SROS. I hope you have a nice ride on it!
