X:\ No Way Out boasts being the world's first and only backwards roller coaster in the dark.

I was so suprised at all the comments, I loved it. Ok, the theming was pants but it is quite good if you sit at the
front. Anywhere else, you will feel sick.

Boring. Awful. Dull. Not entertaining in the slightest. AND painful. Don't do it. EVER. 2/10 from me, sorry, Thorpe.
Demolish It and It's pyramid, and bring in a MERRY GO ROUND for all I care.

Interesting concept, unforunatly fails. Too many block sections, rough ride and boring layout, not to mention it isn't
even dark!!!

This ride is a lot better than people say. Ok, so obvipusly saw, stealth, colossus, nemisis and many more are better
than it, but it's still a great ride, good theming and comftable. It's also one of the only dark rides that is actually
pitch black.

a poor ride, once you start to build up some speed and exitement it stops, and unfortunatly it does that far to many
times. poor theming also.

You know what rturner, normally I wouldn't bother arguing with someone who thinks Stealth is the tallest and fastest
coaster in Europe. However like you said, I am going to put my reasons across. Stealth, for what's supposed to be an
icon ride is utterly poor. It is short and does absolutely nothing for me after the launch. The ride is rough and it
doesn't even do corners! X is fun, it's so weird and I always have a laugh on it. Even though it is uncomfortable.
Stealth may be the better ride, but I would prefer to ride X just because it's great fun. Stealth is dull.

adrenaline-junkie rides dont always need loops in them this ride was quite good acctually my first indoor rollercoaster
in the dark went on it with my brother and found it a snap i just wish some of you would stop making bad votes towards
it its fun to pretend that your in a computer virus even if its not real i think it was fun not as good as stealth and
the others but it was fun yes

rush and kimahri why in hells name is the x: o way out better than stealth stealth is faster and taller than that thing
it was good acctually liked it even if arseholes were jumping out at each other in the queue inside the pyramid but
stealth still remains the tallest fastest coaster in europe and thorpe park its self even when saw:the ride came it
still remains that way and btw did you even ride stealth rush before you made that judgement call and kimahri did even
think that agreeing with one is like saying im doing it for the hell of it or is it not cos you forgot to put your own
opinion.

If you go on it at the start of the day when you have not been on a coaster or ride for a while, it is much more
exciting and the queue is so much short. Use it to start the day!

Very dull. Way to many block brakes. Every time it finally starts getting up to speed, it stops again. And it's rough.
Bleh!

Tbh i think this ride has potential, they just need to close it, completely gut it. give it a retheme with the lost city
area of the park like a old temple or something, make the track have a loop in it while maintaining the backward
motion. At the moment as it is, its not anything special. I found it rather stuff inside and i got a headache before
i even reached the ride

Pile of junk - Total Disorientation - and made one of my mate throw up! I was so keen to have a go on it and was
expecting it to be the best ride of the day other than Stealth - Thought it was crap though - Lame stop starting ruins
it - Its the "only one of it's kind" for a reason!

This ride is OK, but nothing more.IF only the random break sections werent there, it might make it more of a decent
ride. But because of this, the pacing is just crap.

I just love how the ride is so rubbish, it makes it so fun and it's also fun to scare people saying "it's broken" XD.

It's a good idea, but the ride is rubbish, and the theming needs a bit of TLC. The best bit is scaring people in the
queue line!

They've changed the theming to this ride, that's great, now all they need is a good coaster! If they add a couple of
inversions, or steeper drops, this ride would be much better. Like the idea of backwards in the dark, though :)

I like the way this ride gets crappier with every update. It used to be faster and completely pitch black, with a
steeper turn. COuple of renovations later, and we have nothing but a kid's coaster....

It's worth a ride once, or if it's wet, nothing else is open and there's no queue. Otherwise, don't bother. The break
runs are pointless at the best of times. When I rode, they didn't even have any of the effects, making them even more
boring.

I dont like backwards rides, so I didnt like it. But its rathher slow and boring and just rocks you about. Nothing
special. In fact Thorpe Park could use that space for a decent ride.

I liked this a lot. I thought it would have been a lot better if they let it run without stopping after every drop.
