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.
