Six Flags opens Saturday in Aurora, but you might have to wait to take a spin on its new thrill ride. The debut of the new roller coaster, X-Flight, will be delayed for about two weeks, NewsChannel5 reports. X-Flight will invert riders to provide a sense of flight.
Passengers dive straight toward the ground and through eight exhilarating inversions.
X-Flight journeys over 3,340 feet of mangled steel while reaching speeds up to 50 mph. The ride is expected to open May 19 after final safety tests. Six Flags Worlds of Adventure theme park now has 10 coasters. The park, now combined with the old Sea World, also is debuting a new dolphin show, the spine-tingling Batman Water Thrill Spectacular and Sting Ray Bay. Copyright 2001 by NewsNet5 .
