Six Flags closes X2 coaster amid lawsuits alleging brain injuries in riders

Six Flags has shut down the X2 rollercoaster following multiple lawsuits claiming hundreds of riders sustained brain injuries from the ride's 360-degree spinning seats. The closure is a precautionary measure while litigation proceeds; the extent of verified injuries and any causal link remain unconfirmed. This marks a notable safety-related action by a major amusement park operator with potential legal and reputational consequences.
