- loganz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+147six flags magic mountain had one for years now
- SniperX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46Yeah, as stated below (for some reason) Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California has one, named "X".
Great ride, closed down a lot for maintenance though. - Louis11, on 10/12/2007, -12/+54***** ban supportdigg he's an ass with a gay myspace.

ban supportdigg's myspace account - sorahn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27sooner then soon, 6 Flags Magic Mountain already has one.

My god it was worth it more than any other line I have ever waited in. - Coestar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25yea, it's like "gooooooojjiiiiiirrrrraaaaaaa!!!"
- mvanhorn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Direct link to video of coaster

I think digg should place a permanent block on any spammers. With a right to appeal to the block of course. - warfang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Yeah 6 Flags in California has one like that. It's not nearly as big. It's an awesome ride but this is like mixing The X and Goliath together. I would love to ride this one.
- UncleHenry, on 10/12/2007, -8/+17I waited 3 hours for this after going across country just to ride it. I hated every second. Since the seats are so far away from the track, the seats bounce like no other, slamming your body into the restraints. Not a pleasant experience. The most over-rated ride I have ever experienced. It looks awesome, but is quite painful.

Amen to that! - Coestar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8@tralalaa:
Staying true to it's theme, DISASTER TRANSPORT!!! rides like a B-movie; it's so bad, it's good. All it needs is snakes and it'd be golden. - TomP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I think i'd ***** mself.
- coasterswim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8@kaplanfx: "X" is THE reason that Arrow fell into bankruptcy. Months of delays and millions of dollars in adjustments killed them.
@mikesbaker: Ninja is one of the worst rides still standing. Period. - kaplanfx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The ride was developed by the now defunct Arrow Dynamics. The coaster type is called a "4th Demensional Coaster" Apparently S&S Power bought Arrow out and kept it around to specifially manufacture this type of coaster. This Japanese coaster is the second one to come out after X at SFMM.
From the wikipedia page for arrow at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_Dynamics
"Renamed Arrow Dynamics finally fell into bankruptcy in December of 2001. During October of 2001 the company's assets were sold to fellow amusement ride manufacturer S&S Power. Arrow Dynamics, now S&S-Arrow still operates, but basically only to make their 4th dimension coasters. The first multidimension coaster since X debuted in Japan for 2006, Eejanaika." - sfmman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Magic Mountain isn't closing.
- sfmman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13X was never smooth.
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12supportdigg is the same guy as diggfan and about a dozen others. somebody find out this guy's personal info, please?
- SoCalChris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not sure why sfmman was dugg down. X really never was smooth.
In fact, it was closed for several months soon after it opened because the massive amount of shaking was cracking the arms on the cars that hold the seats.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(roller_coaster) - CornMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5X at magic mountain is by far the best coaster i've been on.
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I've been on X, Deja Vu, Scream, Tatsu and everything else at Six Flags Magic Mountain. X is awesome but I have to say Tatsu is the coolest coaster I've ever been on. Make sure to go at night. When you're flying upside down and sideways the views you get are crazy. It's hard to describe but the way they built that coaster makes everything awesome. Only problem is when you're done, they keep you lying in that seat for about 3 minutes crushing your lungs. Also, the seats aren't exactly built for the more manly among us.
- Qenton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I believe the Japanese one is a copy of the Magic Mountain one. Hopefully they worked out a lot of bugs and increased the throughput.
- moosethumbs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4X at Six Flags Magic Mountain is totally awesome, but the lines are always ridiculous.
- CompIsMyRx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Is it just me, or were those people ***** SILENT compared to American riders. I've heard more screams on a teacup ride. It's downright disturbing.
- baldycraig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The japanese "woaaaahhhhh" is slightly different than english.
- Louis11, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9@cbasst
Screw his right to appeal, people like him are ruining digg for all of us. Honestly, do we care what he has to say? How many intellectual or witty comments will you get out of him? - zonk3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4...and the clapping at the beginning and end. "Yayyy, you made it alive!" I can only assume that is why they are clapping.
- Karmalary, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I bet the lines in Japan are even longer though. Magic Mountain in my travel plans this Spring :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4perhaps it's answering the question you ask yourself when you see it?
"christ that looks scary, should i go on it?"
*looks at the ride* "why not?" - soupyc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a distinct possibility, though the CEO doesn't seem to think so:

Thank you for saving us, internets police! What would we have done without you?
Additionally, I think that webpage is defying more than a few laws of web DESIGN (ooo caps) etiquette, jerky! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3now that looks scary :-D
*hopes someone in the uk makes one* - orangekid13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'd love to see one of those coasters combined with the kind that shoots you up the first hill like The Hulk
- jgreene777, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5{hurk}
- coastyvet, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7I rode this at Magic Mountain, I think in 2003. This was the smoothest coaster that I have ever been on. I could have rode this all day. DEFINITELY THE COOLEST COASTER I'VE EVER BEEN ON!!!!!!!
- kirk06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Umm, no but the camera can.
Safety first, stunt team! - batmandude8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"X" is best, most original thrill ride/roller coaster to date. It's the first 4th Dimension coaster. Sadly, it's is closed for awhile due to some construction; I went the day after Christmas.
- vjgx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Don't say that X is better when you haven't ridden both. From what I've heard, Eejanaika is better and smoother. Plus, it's technically bigger and faster.
And Six Flags Magic Mountain is NOT closing. They have confirmed that they are only selling it if the new owner will continue the park's operation. Don't say that something is a fact when you have no proof.
Article: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-sixflags13dec13,1,5142892.story?coll=la-headlines-business - BigSlacker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That's pretty impressive. Someone actually manages to be a negative spewing dork even about a roller coaster. Have you considered medication?
- sfmman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah...closed for "construction"

http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/park/rides/coasters/top_thrill_dragster/index.cfm - Recluse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No damn way could you get me to go on that.
- Disease, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How many times will I see the name Magic Mountain...
- Coronagold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wally World is closed?!! (punches moose)
- kdmaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2he probably used good ol' duct tape to secure the camera
- endekks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Having been to Fuji-Q highlands several times and ridden their "bigger" coasters, I can say that most of them broke a world's record at some point or another - until a newer coaster came along, of course. I haven't been able to ride Eejanaika yet, but some friends and I are planning to hit Fuji-Q as soon as it gets a bit warmer here.
- JimmyLin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That guy definitely has balls to film while he's on the ride. I'd be holding onto the bar and screaming my lungs out.
