Six Flags permanently retires X2 coaster after CNN probe and 100+ injury claims
Six Flags Magic Mountain has permanently closed its flagship X2 roller coaster following a CNN investigation that exposed a decade-long history of severe injuries and deaths. The decision comes after more than 100 riders alleged brain trauma, including at least three fatalities, and multiple lawsuits alleging the park ignored safety risks. While the park claims the ride passed safety tests, critics argue the closure was long overdue.
