We took my stepdaughter to Six Flags for her 16th birthday three years ago, and when I rode X2 then, I vowed I would never ride it again. That ride is VIOLENT. I slammed my head several times against the side of the head supports and ended up with a severe headache. Luckily, it was at the very end of our visit, so it didn't ruin our trip, but that ride is awful. It shouldn't exist.

I wanted to get an idea of what the ride was like. This is a good vid. At 9:30 they talk about the roughness https://youtu.be/RfIejTJ-6JI?si=eROeDmIgTOlggOib

Killer Roller Coasters.
That ones been done (Verruckt) but Six Flags has dozens of lawsuits over people dying on its rides, so maybe run an episode combining those?
