Media Day For The New For 2012 X-Flight Rollercoaster at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois

At the bottom of X-Flight's first drop/inversion you're going 55mph. You will notice in most of my photos the front seats are mostly empty. With it being the ride's "Media Day" where the press gets to come in and check out the ride and interview us enthusiasts about the ride the front seats had cameras mounted to them so no riders there.

After rolling you over and plummeting you to Earth, X-Flight sends you skyward up into the first of two zero g rolls.

Sitting far out from the trains center of gravity every little twist and turn is very exaggerated making all of the twists and turns extremely fun.

Even with X-Flight's over the shoulder restraints having nothing beneath your feet and no track above your head it's a really astounding feeling of freedom and flight.
