Six Flags Magic Mountain Permanently Retires X2 Coaster Amid Brain Injury Litigation

Six Flags Magic Mountain has permanently retired its X2 roller coaster after nearly 20 years, citing declining guest confidence and a surge in lawsuits alleging severe brain injuries. The ride, which had been temporarily closed since July 12, 2026, is being shut down despite passing safety tests, as the park prioritizes guest safety over operational risk. Attorneys representing injured riders argue the closure is too late and are pursuing legal action for compensation, with over 100 people claiming injuries and at least two fatalities linked to the coaster over the past two decades.

Six Flags Magic Mountain permanently retires X2 coaster after years of injury lawsuits

Six Flags Magic Mountain has permanently closed its flagship X2 roller coaster, ending a two-decade run for the ride that drew global attention for its 360-degree rotating seats. The decision follows a temporary shutdown in July 2026 and a surge in litigation alleging the attraction caused severe brain injuries and deaths. While park officials cited declining guest confidence as the primary driver for closure, legal representatives argue the move was long overdue after a CNN investigation exposed a pattern of catastrophic trauma. The park plans to replace the attraction with a new 'Thrill Glider' coaster next year, though a California safety investigation remains ongoing.

"Six Flags Magic Mountain Harnesses Solar Power to Energize Thousands of Homes"

Six Flags Magic Mountain in California is partnering with Solar Optimum and DSD Renewables to build the largest single-site commercial renewable energy project in the state. The project involves constructing a solar carport and energy storage system in the park's parking lots, which will offset 100% of the park's energy use and generate enough electricity to power 2,800 homes. In addition to the environmental benefits, the solar carport will provide shade for parked cars, increase the lifespan of the paint job, and mitigate heat retention. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2023 and serves as a blueprint for other businesses to adopt renewable energy solutions.
