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

I mentioned how much fun it was getting to see old and new coaster buddies at events like X-Flight's Media Day well here's one of my new coaster buddies Billy who I got to know when he recently joined the Negative-G Forums. If you head on over there or join in on our Sunday & Wednesday night chats he posts as CoasterDemon.

The front of the main camera train had all of the coverings stripped off of the first car so here's a geek shot for all of you engineering centered enthusiasts out there.

Here's Bond with our video camera getting ready for another ride.

Oh, kind of a convenient and cool thing in X-Flight's station are those bars that go up from the gates. What they're for is if you have a bag/backpack to store while on the ride just hang your bag on it and go.

We just rode and rode as X-Flight was just so much fun.

Oh, a little tip I prefer the right side of the train. I figured before riding that the left side would be better because you go up and over when the train rolls over it'd be more thrilling but it turns out that on the left side you get considerably more hang time. More hang time = more fun to me.
