Housed inside a large pyramid at the heart of the Thorpe Park, X was billed as “the world’s only backwards roller coaster in the dark” when it made its debut in 2006. X received a new theme and was switched to run forwards in 2013.
In 2018 the ride was re-themed as The Walking Dead: The Ride. Riders spend much of the time in complete darkness, but when the ride stops prepare to be frightened by the undead attempting to attack. Heavy music adds to the atmosphere. Even at the end of the ride you will not feel safe as you attempt to get outdoors .........
