加州六旗魔法山游乐园已宣布永久关闭X2过山车1。该过山车自7月起已停运，现正式宣布永久关闭1。据报道，数百名乘坐者声称因乘坐该过山车遭受脑损伤，部分伤者甚至需要紧急脑部手术，由此引发多起诉讼1。
公园方面表示，X2过山车已通过安全测试，但出于道义考虑决定关闭1。公园主席布赖恩·厄德表示："乘坐安全是我们业务的基石，当我们看到客人信心受影响时，我们会认真对待"1。X2过山车自2002年开放以来，已被超过1600万人乘坐1。
代理受害者的律师事务所对这一决定持批评态度，称这一决定来得太晚，对已受伤害的人无济于事1。律师布伦特·威斯纳表示："我们不能依靠以利润为中心的公司在足够多的人受伤后才做正确的事"1。此前，22岁的克里斯托弗·霍利在2022年乘坐X2后死亡，其家族已与公园和解1。
Six Flags Magic Mountain in California has announced the permanent closure of its X2 rollercoaster following hundreds of allegations that the ride caused brain injuries to passengers 1. The decision comes after the attraction had already been closed since July 1. Park president Brian Erd stated: "Rider safety is the cornerstone of our business, and when we see our guests' confidence being affected, we take it seriously" 1.
Hundreds of riders have claimed to suffer brain damage from riding X2, with some requiring emergency brain surgery 1. The rollercoaster, which has been in operation since 2002, has been ridden by more than 16 million people over its two-decade history 1. Among the cases is that of Christopher Holly, a 22-year-old who died following an X2 ride in 2022; his family has since settled with the park 1. Despite the park stating that the ride had passed safety tests, officials chose to close it on moral grounds 1.
Attorney Brent Wisner, who represents victims, expressed skepticism about the decision, saying: "We cannot rely on profit-driven companies to do the right thing only after enough people are injured" 1. Wisner's legal team has characterized the timing of the permanent closure as overdue and noted that it provides no remedy for those already harmed 1.
