X2 roller coaster

Six Flags has closed X2, the 4th Dimension roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. The ride, known for its rotating seats and dramatic drop, had been a signature attraction since 2002. Amusement park fans are discussing the closure, sharing memories of the coaster and speculating about whether the shutdown is temporary for maintenance or a permanent removal from the park.

Six Flags announced Tuesday that it will retire the X2 roller coaster at its Magic Mountain park in California. The decision came roughly a month after a CNN report about the ride. Enthusiasts and visitors are reacting to the loss of one of the park's signature coasters, with discussion focusing on the circumstances behind the retirement and what the closure means for the park's lineup.
