Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in California permanently closes X2 roller coaster, reports say several guests suffered brain injuries

Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in California announced on the 29th that it will permanently close a popular roller coaster because a large number of passengers claimed that they suffered brain injuries after riding.

According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the X2 roller coaster is one of the main facilities of the amusement park. Not only does it often require long queues, but the seats can also rotate 360 ​​degrees. But the facility has been closed since July.

The amusement park said the X2 roller coaster had passed a series of safety tests but decided to retire it because it was "the right thing to do." "The safety of our rides is a cornerstone of our business," said amusement park president Brian Oerding. "When we see guest confidence being affected, we take it seriously."

Dordick Law Corporation, which filed a civil lawsuit against the amusement park on behalf of the plaintiff, pointed out that about 400 people have contacted the law firm, believing that they were injured as a result of riding the roller coaster. More than 100 of them claimed to have suffered brain injuries after riding the roller coaster and have entrusted the law firm to represent them.

The law firm claimed in a statement that these passengers originally boarded the roller coaster in a thrill-seeking mood, but suffered severe brain injuries when they left the amusement park. Some of them required emergency brain surgery, and others are still trying to get their lives back to normal.

The law firm emphasized that the park is welcome to close the roller coaster to protect future visitors, but this move will not help those who have already been harmed.
