A popular roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain has been shut down after two women suffered severe brain hemorrhages within days of riding the attraction, prompting a state safety investigation and renewed scrutiny of the coaster's history of serious injury complaints.
The X2 roller coaster at the California theme park was closed on July 12, 2026, after the back-to-back medical emergencies involving two riders. According to an investigation cited by Hindustan Times and reported by CNN, both women required emergency brain surgery after developing life-threatening internal bleeding.
