The X2 coaster trains are undergoing seasonal maintenance and refurbishment while the ride remains in daily operation at the Valencia amusement park.

The fourth-dimension coaster features seats that rotate 360 degrees forward and backward as the ride reaches a top speed of 76 mph over a 3,600-foot-long track layout with two inversions, according to Roller Coaster Database.
The original X coaster by ride manufacturer Arrow Dynamics had numerous issues when the first-of-its-kind ride opened in 2002 at Magic Mountain.
