The X-Flight Roller Coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

X-Flight is a wing coaster that was designed by Bolliger & Mabillard.

What is great about wing coasters is as a rider you have nothing beneath you and nothing above you.

Being out there all exposed really makes you feel as if you are flying.

While the type of coaster does not really lend itself to giving riders as many negative-g's as a hyper coaster would I really enjoy being out there far away from the ride's center of gravity so as a rider you feel the slightest turn or roll.
