X-Flight

Today I discovered that each ride has it’s own Unilocal page but I rode this over the Summer and wow this ride is nothing but thrills. You’re going really fast and going through tight turns as well. The only thing that’s annoying is when your close to riding the ride when you’re in line is the introductory audio you hear before the ride starts. You’ll hear this 50 times but don’t let that kill the fun.

I finally got to ride this. Not nearly as exciting as I had hope for. The spin through the flight deck is pretty cool but this is not one of the top 3 coasters at GA.

Best coaster I’ve ever been on!

I just love this coaster. So smooth and fast. Love the feeling of my legs dangling and it looks like at one point you are going to fly right into a pipe and a wall. Awesome.

Best costed by far… well other then the Raging bull. The drop the best and going over the pond when the mister are on is pretty cool.

Big thumbs up for thrill seekers! Everything about the coaster is smooth, and well-​timed. The last inversion feels like you might hit the building! If you haven’t, go on this ride!

For years, Raging Bull has been my favorite coaster at Six Flags. When X Flight opened, my husband and I longingly walked by with kids in tow wishing we could go!
So we chose a weekday and played hooky. While the kids were at summer camp for the day, we ran to Six Flags to try out the ride. Oh my goodness it was AWESOME!
Sorry Raging Bull but you have been replaced.
X Flight is like a Top Gun knock off as far as themes go. You’re going on a serious speed test flight. This rollercoaster twists you, turns you and spins you in ways I hadn’t experienced before. If you get an outside seat, you’ll get more torque on the turns — loved it!

I love this coaster — it’s smooth, fun, and wickedly fun. I look forward to riding this every time I go to the park. I attended the media day and was able to ride this in virtually every seat and to me the ‘Money Seat” is in the back row on the left side. But if you want the visuals, go to the exact opposite and sit in the front row on the right side.

This mid-​sized B&M wing coaster is a perfect fit for the location. Occupying the parcel of land on which ‘Splashwater Falls’ once stood, riders are treated to the experience of flying on either side of the track.
From the dive drop at the beginning to the double in-​line twist at the end, this steel beauty is smoother than glass – and quiet, too! Towards the ride’s conclusion, there’s a near-​miss element between the train and a fake traffic control tower. This feeling of «threading the needle» is unique, thrilling, and close enough of a squeeze that I find myself wondering (even after several rides) if we’re gonna make it. This ‘keyhole’ fly-​through is a completely different sensation depending if you go through it on the top (left side of the train) or bottom (right side). My recommendation? Try both.
Protip: I always say ‘back row is the best’, but in all honesty, the front seat is where you want to be on this one. Having that unobstructed view makes a huge difference.

First time on today and my new favorite for sure. The fly thru features are awesome and the initial dive as they call it is unlike any coaster I’ve ever been on. Smooth ride and had my adrenaline pumping so good that when we finally reached the end I could hardly breathe with the restraints in place. Nothing emergent just that awesome feeling of adrenaline overload!
Always been a fan of the classics like batman and the demon. Glad I tried something new. Very fun! Highly recommend.

This was really good in my opinion, really smooth for a one that goes 50mph. Short ride and it was worth it. Nice cockshrews and upside down, but track is not that long. Do recommend this one as a starter to some of the other coasters.

Cleared for take-​off! Amazing non-​stop action with 5 great inversions. No time to relax from one inversion to the next. Really feel some Gs on the inversions and gotta love the keyhole elements! They did a great job of theming and a ride experience that fit together. This ride uses many flight maneuvers like the scissor pass through the tower, the barrel roll, and the dive drop.

OK, Folks! Forget about Superman or Batman. Head directly to XFlight. You won’t regret a bit if you love riding the roller coasters My DH probably regretted a lot as he lost his prescription class during the ride after I kind of forced him to try this out. He has been taken care our little ones for a few hours. I thought I gave him a treat in the end. Well.
We were fortunately at a company event so the park was closed to the general admission. I basically had no wait for the first ride. It was fantastic. Smoother than any other rides. Totally agree with Anthony M. And the best part was your head is no where near the handle or anything. If you ride the Demon, you know what I’m talking about. Your head would be a ball between tow handles on both sides. The rubber vest was tight but comfortable. Superman makes your neck hurt after a few rides. Batman was, sorry, a bit boring. XFlight has great speed, super smooth, fancy turns and I love they put the two and other structure to give you addition thrill when your seat turns and pass the impossible narrow space.
Then I was calling my friends to come over and ride on it. Everyone loved this. But somehow, there were quite a few times they stopped/​delayed the operation due to issues which basically created long lines. We almost could not make the last ride. They loaded one ride which left only 2 people in front of line of us. The flight moved a bit they stopped. After a few technician looking guys came and did something, the flight slooooowly moved up the slop. Then it stopped entirely on the slope for 5 minutes. I could not imagine the people thinking when sitting in there half way up the slope. Finally it moved up and finished the ride. And we still went on the ride despite the earlier episode. So you know how much fun this could be. I’m totally nuts about this.
Yes, go early and go many times as you can on this newest addition to Six Flags.

READY FOR TAKEOFF
This is the newest roller coaster at Six Flags Great America and probably the smoothest. The first time I rode this ride it was not my favorite and that was because I was sitting in the wrong seat! Yes this roller coaster is a different experience depending on where you sit. Now I’m not gonna give up the secret because that’s for you to find out. Plus I don’t need to wait any longer to sit in my favorite seat.
The best part of the ride is the first drop at the top. I also enjoy the spin through the air traffic control tower. The lines are typically long for this ride. I suggest you get to the park when it opens and head directly here. My wife & I did that last time and rode it two times in a row rather quickly. Also being first in line we had time to talk to the X-​Flight employee and get some great stories. He even remembered us later in the day on our third ride. He was talking to us from the ride controls, which was cool and creates a great customer experience.
One of the sad things is that this ride took out the Six Flags motorized cars track. These have been here since I was a kid. It makes me kind of sad. Yeah the ride wasn’t exciting but it was part of a traditional day at the park. I love that the park left up part of the old track with a few old cars. It can be seen when you are getting on to the American Eagle Roller Coaster, just look below the bridge almost immediately after you enter the ride. A part of history still exists.
So if you’re a coater nut then this is the newest coaster at 6 Flags. It is amazing to see how technology has advanced. Ride the Demon here and you will see how far we’ve come. X-​Flight is like a smooth cup of coffee upside down & spinning in the morning! I’m ready to fly!!!
