Since 2020, riders on the X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California have suffered catastrophic head and brain injuries after completing rides on the fourth-dimension coaster — including traumatic brain injury, subdural hematoma requiring emergency skull-removal surgery, and loss of consciousness. In July 2026, two riders were hospitalized with severe brain injuries within weeks of each other; one underwent emergency brain surgery and was reported in a coma. Six Flags closed the ride following the most recent incident.
Lawsuits filed against Magic Mountain LLC, Six Flags Theme Parks Inc., and ride manufacturer S&S Worldwide Inc. allege negligence, strict product liability, and negligent product liability in the design, manufacture, operation, and maintenance of the X2 coaster. One case is currently scheduled for trial. A prior rider who lost consciousness immediately after a 2022 ride died the following day; his family settled with the park and the manufacturer. The park has pointed to its restraint systems, ride-force specifications, and warning signage about hypertension risk — but the pattern of severe head and brain injuries across multiple, unrelated riders raises serious questions about whether the ride is safe to operate.
If you suffered a brain injury after riding the X2 coaster, you deserve answers — and the law may entitle you to compensation for what happened to you.

Damages vary by case, and every rider's situation is different. Common categories of damages in X2 coaster injury claims include:
Emergency treatment, hospitalization, neurosurgery, imaging, and rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury, subdural hematoma, skull fracture, and other injuries suffered on the X2 coaster.
Long-term neurological treatment, cognitive rehabilitation, in-home care, and ongoing monitoring that severe brain injuries often require for years after the initial injury.
Wages lost during recovery, and the lasting reduction in earning capacity that can follow a traumatic brain injury, including an inability to return to the same line of work.
Physical pain, cognitive and emotional effects, and the diminished quality of life caused by a brain injury sustained on a ride that was supposed to be safe.
Compensation for lasting memory loss, personality changes, seizures, or other permanent effects of a traumatic brain injury suffered while riding the X2 coaster.
For families who lost a loved one after riding the X2 coaster: funeral and burial expenses, loss of future income, and loss of society and companionship.
In certain cases, the park operator and the ride's manufacturer may be held accountable for negligent design, manufacture, inspection, maintenance, or operation of the X2 coaster, and for failing to adequately warn riders or shut the ride down after prior incidents. Where the conduct is especially egregious, punitive damages may also be available.
