So a few friends and I decided since yesterday was such a beautiful day, we'd venture to Six Flags to grab our season passes and wait in some lines for rides. Got there around 2:30, went in and did our season passes. Walked around a bit and evaluated lines. 75min for X-Flight, 60min for Raging Tequila, 50min for Viper 1 1/2 for American Eagle :\

So we took Viper on first. 2nd car, 3rd row. It was beautiful; more than it is in any other seat. Always a good floating time.

After that, we made our way over to X-flight rocking the same 75min line. Took us 55~60 in reality, which always makes a person happy. Got on backrow, outer left seat. The combination of back row whipping and the very backwards feeling heartline forces make for the coolest sensation on a roller coaster I've ever experienced. The ride is better paced on-ride, compared to watching it off ride or POV style. I'm thoroughly impressed with Six Flags and B&M.

Half a Horse-shoe roll?? <3 B&M

It's worth a drive, wait or whatever. Everyone, get on this ride. I can't find a downside to it yet, besides maybe another 1000ft of track, but hey, I can't ask that much out of six flags

Edit: I forgot, we did other things after X-Flight. Went to Triple Play, enjoyed that. Went over and finished at night with Raging Tequila. Only 2 trains running right now. Six Flags may be winning with X-Flight, but not everywhere else... Like RB.

Very nice. I'm really hoping I can make it over on the 30th to get a taste of X Flight.

So, we did a last minute trip to SFGAm today. Got there at 12; it was all schools. Got on the major rides. Here's noteables from today:

• X-Flight is running faster it seems. Especially faster than preview day, reportedly.
• Left wing is a bit cooler then the Right wing.
• Can't put backrow over towards the front. 2nd row is great. 5th is still great, but not as much. 8th is great.
• Raging Bull is :censored: in front row. Was my first true experience in front row today. Soo good airtimes. Pushing forces are amazing. Better than Backrow.
• Viper is still great in 2nd car.
• Superman is more uncomfortable than I remember.
• V2 needs a better organized station.

That's about it.

There is something about that second row... I can't quite put my finger on it. But, in my opinion, it is by far the best row in the entire train.
