@yahoonews: The X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California has been closed since July 12 after two riders suffered brain injuries within days of each other, according to a CNN investigation. Both riders lost consciousness after riding X2 in July. One was diagnosed with a severe subdural hematoma and brain compression. The other suffered a traumatic brain injury and remains in a coma. CNN also found a two-decade history of injuries reported by people who had recently ridden X2, including two who died. Six Flags declined to comment on CNN’s reporting.

I went on this with my children and we’re fine. You need to keep your head BACK. People don’t listen to instructions.

you are told multiple times to not ride if you have pre existing medical conditions that could threaten your life if exposed to an extreme environment, which is exactly what the ride is marketed as, and also how to conduct yourself and your body as you are on the ride. last time i was at this park you would be so surprised how many people don't listen to ride operators and did things they SPECIFICALLY STATED not to do.

If six flags is listening, fix the problems, make it smoother but DO NOT shut down this ride!!! My family has ridden it many times and it’s one of our favorites!!! Condolences to the people who were injured on it. I mean no disrespect, but thousands of people have ridden this thing every day for 24 years!!! If the problem was the ride there would be thousands of injured people. Not 3.

This sucks for the park and the people that like roller coasters. They’ve been threatening to shut this park down for a while…hope this doesn’t mean the end for it.

I think it is reasonable to assume you won’t die from a roller coaster to those of you commenting not to ride if you “can’t handle it”

I had an ischemic stroke in the parking lot here after riding X2 in 2024. I was 27. I followed instructions and did NOT have pre-existing conditions listed on the signs. Shit happens, but if it happens enough times and people are not surviving a ride that's not been refurbished in the last 20 years, maybe enough is enough. And this is coming from a roller coaster enthusiast by the way, I never thought that would happen to me.

It’s one of the best rides in the park! It has been open for more than 20 years!

If you know what the ride is and you know that you are not in the best condition, why put yourself through that.
