Six Flags Magic Mountain X2 coaster remains closed after rider injury
The X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, remains closed with no scheduled reopening date following a serious incident on July 5. The closure occurred after the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to reports of a rider being found unconscious on the ride.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) has launched an inspection into the matter. While the agency has declined to provide specific details, citing an “ongoing” investigation, the ride has remained unavailable to guests for over a month.
A spokesperson for Six Flags Magic Mountain stated that the park hopes to get the ride back in operation as soon as possible but could not provide an estimated timeline for its return. The park has not publicly commented on the condition of the rider or whether the closure is related to specific maintenance or safety inspections.
