Six Flags has permanently ceased operations of its X2 rollercoaster at the Magic Mountain park in Valencia, California. The decision follows a significant number of past riders coming forward with allegations of serious injuries sustained on the ride.
The X2 rollercoaster, known for its high speeds reaching up to 76 mph and 360-degree rotating seats, had been temporarily closed since mid-July. The permanent closure comes as over 100 individuals have reportedly claimed to have been injured by the attraction, raising consumer safety concerns.
