According to the Article, why is the X2 roller coaster not for the fearful? Press enter to interact with the item, and press tab
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Because it has steep drops and seats that turn completely around  

Explanation:

Although you did not mention the article to which the question refers, we can say that the X² roller coaster was not made for fearful because of its numerous steep descents and its ability to rotate the train seats back and forth in 360 degrees, this being its main characteristic.

The rotation that the accents give are controlled by two tracks, however, the experience is totally modified and the ride on the X² allows an adrenaline rush much greater than any other roller coaster.
