Six Flags Magic Mountain to Permanently Close X2 Coaster After Brain Injury Claims

Six Flags Magic Mountain is permanently retiring the X2 coaster following claims of brain injuries and a history of accidents. The Valencia park previously regarded the attraction as its crown jewel, as it was the first roller coaster globally to spin riders 360 degrees in their seats. Management stated that closing the ride is the right thing to do, ending the operation of the popular attraction to address safety concerns and the reported injuries of guests.
