A ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain has now been closed for over a month and we have everything you need to know! According to People Magazine, California officials are currently investigating reported incidents involving the X2 rollercoaster, which has been closed since July 12th. Six Flags has yet to share an official statement regarding the matter; however, “the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s (Cal/OSHA) Amusement Ride and Tramway Unit has opened an inspection,” according to People Magazine. ©Six Flags The investigation stemmed from several incidents involving the rollercoaster, including a fire on July 11th and an EMS call on July 5th. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and no injuries were reported on that day. ©KTLA 5 The X2 rollercoaster has also faced issues in years prior. People Magazine also reported on a wrongful death lawsuit that is connected with the attraction, writing, “The ride has also been the subject of a wrongful-death lawsuit stemming from the death of a 22-year-old man, Christopher Hawley, who suffered a fatal brain injury after riding X2 in 2022.” ©Six Flags The attraction does not have an opening timeline at the moment, but we’ll keep you updated with any information that is announced!
