Overview
- The X2 coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain has been offline since July 5 after firefighters and park medics responded to a report that a rider was found unconscious on the attraction.
- California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health has opened an Amusement Ride and Tramway Unit inspection into the July 5 incident and has declined to release details while the probe continues.
- Six Flags Magic Mountain has confirmed the ride is not operating and said it has no estimated reopening date while giving only limited public comment about the incident.
- Park officials and local law enforcement say the situation was handled at the scene and did not prompt a sheriff’s investigation, and the rider’s medical condition has not been publicly disclosed.
- The closure and probe arrive as a separate wrongful-death lawsuit tied to a June 2022 X2 injury moves toward a September jury trial, and the ride’s fourth‑dimensional design — 360° rotating seats, face‑down drops and high speeds — has focused attention on mechanical stresses and rider safety.
