X-Flight is a steel Wing Coaster at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. The 3,000-foot (910 m) long ride will feature barrel rolls and high-speed drops, It opened for season passholders on May 12, 2012 and today it opens to the public (May 16, 2012)
I still stick with my opinion that The Swarm is much better than X-Flight

I agree there, Simba. At least Swarm has variety in it's inversions. This is just zero-g, something similar to zero-G, zero G.

And also The Swarm has better theming.

Definitely. This themeing is just very generic whereas The Swarm is quite unique.

Don't forget that the keyhole is part of the theming of X-Flight. The theming of X-Flight is well above average for a Six Flags coaster.

I'd agree there but compared to Swarm, it is still very minimal

The keyhole is the only major good themeing on X-Flight.

If the theming was done well, it wouldn't be out of place at all. The theming just is minimal.
