 Park News - (10/7/2026) Six Flags Magic Mountain announced on Oct. 1st that the park’s gigantic solar carport project that has been in the works for quite some time is now officially complete. Installed along with partners, Solar Optimum, this is officially the largest solar carport in California, and one of the largest commercial solar carports in the entire country. The project features 36 structures than span the guest and employee lots, that cover a total of 4315 parking spaces, and features 109 electric vehicle charging connectors, and is expected to “offset 100% of the park’s annual electricity consumption”.
(9/30/2026) I felt compelled to share a poll I started online to see how many people were willing to sign a waiver for the chance just to ride X2 one more time… and so far, the thrill seekers are winning by a large margin. So cast your own vote!
(9/29/2026) Six Flags Magic Mountain has just confirmed on social media that the X2 roller coaster has been retired for good after thrilling guests for nearly 20 years.
(9/26/2026) While we are still waiting for any kind of official update on the status of the X2 coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountian, the situation has gotten a bit worse. As I predicted, all the public news coverage about the last two incidents at the park involving X2 that led to the shut down in July has now brought out all the other “Me Too!” types to seek out lawyers and begin their own lawsuits. According to Yahoo there are three new group lawsuits in play, claiming to represent over 100 different clients, all of which claim they received some sort of brain injury while riding X2 in the last 2 years.
This is where things get tricky and can very likely cause the park to just leave X2 sitting closed for a very long time, as officially closing it for good it at this point might be seen by the courts as almost a virtual admission that there is some kind of problem with X2. Even if X2 never reopens, if I had to guess, the tactic would be the leave it standing, but closed to the public, so they can have experts come in with sensors and gear to deem it safe and running as designed, testify in front of judges, etc…
Then, once all that is over… then they’ll probably remove it, claiming it’s been sitting idle too long and needs to be replaced with something new. The end result in the same… as I feel that the general public will never get the chance to ride X2 ever again.
(9/4/2026) I hate to say this… I really do… but my gut feeling right now is that if you never had the chance to ride X or X2 over the past 24 years… you probably aren’t going to get that opportunity. While we are still waiting for Six Flags to make some kind of official announcement, my gut feeling says, “stick a fork in her, she’s done”. Meanwhile various guests to the park across social media have been chiming in to report that they also felt that the ride experience on X2 has gotten significantly rougher over the years than what it used to be.
While the official end may simply be coming due to the mounting number of injury cases, there have always been some other factors that have made be wonder about the long-term viability of the original Arrow Dynamics 4th Dimension coaster (now S&S Worldwide) as a design from a domestic and international viewpoint.
 Going back to the origin of the 4th Dimension concept, Arrow Dynamics was never looking to build something as large and as aggressive as X originally. Looking back at archives from the old Arrow Dynamics website, they actually first pitched four different layouts of the 4th Dimension concept to start with, with cute names like Mayhem, Delirium, Quantum and Octophobia. It is noteworthy that all four designs only stood between 92 and 127 feet in height, and none featured the infamous 210 foot vertical helldive that X is known for. Clearly Arrow was looking to start out this new design with a more mild experience, and then be able to work up to something bigger after they had time to perfect the concept in the real world.
What happened, as told to me first hand back in the day within the halls of the S&S HQ in Logan, Utah was that things took an interesting turn when Gary Story, the CEO of Six Flags from the 90’s through to 2003, was first pitched the idea for X by Arrow Dynamics. While I don’t know the exact timeline, I assume this took place somewhere between 1998 and 2000, when the biggest new development in roller coaster technology had just arrived on the scene in Atlon Towers with the opening of Oblivion in 1998… B&M’s first Dive Machine roller coaster. Clearly the arrival of Oblivion was weighing on Gary Story’s mind, because when presented with the more mild early 4th Dimension designs, he was said to have asked if they could built one 200 feet tall with a vertical drop. Not wanting to disappoint, the Arrow sales team apparently said that they COULD do it, but that they would rather build a smaller one first. According to the tale, Mr. Story then told Arrow he was only interested if they could build one with at least a 200 foot vertical dive drop. And the rest of history, as deals were signed and the design team went about the creation of the ride that would become world famous as “X” that opened in 2002 at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
What has always bothered me over the years was that while Six Flags seemed to have achieved global recognition of the unique X / 4th Dimension ride system, they never did try to replicate this success by ordering any other further roller coasters over the years that followed. Coming from the same theme park chain that built a Batman: The Ride inverted roller coaster clone from B&M almost every year for over a decade certainly seems to say “something” about how they felt about X, without ever saying anything. Along similar lines… once S&S bought out Arrow and later came up with 4D Free Spin coaster design that offered similar flip-seat style thrills as X but at a much smaller scale, Six Flags did jump on that bandwagon and opened seven of them between 2015 and 2019 across the chain.
Only two other 4th Dimension coasters were ever built from S&S, Eejanaika at Fuji-Q in Japan in 2006 and later Dinoconda opened at China’s Dinosaur Park in 2012. The design of these two are very similar to the original design from X, just with some slight modifications to improve the design. Right now it is Eejanaika at Fuji-Q I would be keeping a very close eye on, as during the COVID pandemic Fuji-Q underwent a similar issue of guest injury complaints about another S&S made roller coaster… Do-Dononpa. This was S&S’s highly aggressive “Thrust Air” launched coaster that had already undergone a track upgrade to swap out the Top Hat hill with a giant vertical loop in 2017. Following that the coaster only ran up through 2021 when the park closed it down to investigate why they were seeing a sudden ride in guest injury complaints. From December 2020 to August 2021 when the coaster was shut down, Fuji-Q was said to have reported 18 guest injuries ranging from bone fractures, cervical spine compression fractures, and neck and chest fractures. Of the 18 injuries, up to 9 of them reported suffering from broken bones, and after sitting closed for several years, Fuji-Q announced they were closing and removing Do-Dononpa for good.
Now this is an entirely different roller coaster, using an entirely different train and restraint system, so I’m not saying that the injuries are in any way connected. What I am saying is that we should keep an eye on Fuji-Q to see if they react in any way with their operations on Eejanaika in response to the reported issues on X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Since Fuji-Q already went through a similar problem of guest injuries reported after riding a roller coaster at their park, I’m sure they will be extra cautious about any issues reported from Eejanaika.
So this is all just something to think about as we wait to find out the fate of X2.
(9/2/2026) It seems a lawsuit over a previous claim of injury after riding X2 from 2020 is now back in play as a judge has now scheduled a lawsuit trial to take place on Aug. 16, 2027, related to a woman’s claims of traumatic brain injury and other complications following a ride on the coaster. It sounded as if the case was dismissed back in 2024, but after appealing, the case is now back on the books.
The article also mentioned that the park has had a biomechanical engineering expert study and gather data from the ride to record the forces it produces on riders. The report determined that “X2 did not produce sufficient ride forces to cause a subdural hematoma or a traumatic brain injury” as claimed in this case. There have been no known part failures on the ride that could cause these kind of injuries, and that the “the head restraint padding design and the low acceleration forces indicate the ride cushion was sufficient”.
Now, I’ve been on the coaster myself, but it has been years since then, as it was still known as just “X” back then. I don’t remember any excessive roughness and no head-banging at all, just an experience that was fairly disorienting due to the unique nature of the ride’s design. So for those who have ridden X2 in more recent times, would you say that the experience has gotten significantly rougher as the ride has aged, or do you think these injury claims are unjustified? Admittedly, claims that you just don’t feel good are one thing, but being taken to a hospital and having parts of your brain operated on is another matter entirely that is a bit disturbing to think about.
(9/1/2026) While Six Flags Magic Mountain is set to make their big announcement about the park’s next roller coaster on the 3rd… there is another growing rumor of news to be released that date as well. Basic on the sheer amount of negative press the park has been getting about X2, and possibly the fact that the park and S&S have both opted to settle privately out of court regarding the 2022 death of a ride who had just gotten off X2, it is believed that the park might confirm the possible retirement of the X2 roller coaster on the same day this week that they announce the next new ride.
Stay tuned…
(8/29/2026) It is a bit disturbing, but as X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain remains closed, the various news agencies have uncovered more details about why it is currently closed and other information about previous incidents involving the ride.
According to this latest report, the ride is currently closed and under investigation after two different riders experienced issues following a ride on X2 this summer within days of each other. In July 2026 a Pamela Guillen rode X2 and she remembers that her head was banging against the headrest before she returned to the station in an unconscious state. She was then transported to a hospital where CT scans revealed a “severe subdural hematoma and brain compression”. She reports now suffering from headaches and having to take medication to prevent seizures after being released.
Just a few days later, Naomi Greer-Wilkinson also rode X2 and returned to the station in an unconscious state. She was taken to the hospital for treatment for “traumatic brain injury” and currently remains in a coma.
Meanwhile Six Flags had just privately settled with the family of 22-year old Christopher Hawley on Thursday, who passed away after taking a ride on X2 in 2022, with “a brain injury allegedly linked to the X2” coaster, despite concerns about pre-existing health conditions.
X2 originally opened as just “X” back in early 2002 from Arrow Dynamics before being rebranded as X2 in 2008 for mostly marketing purposes when an on-board audio system was added along with some off-track special effects and a repainting to a new color scheme. So while the roller coaster has been running for over 24 years now, I know the entire fleet of trains were replaced by S&S Power when the X2 rebranding took place, and they have since undergone further modifications and rebuilds over the years, including the return of one train to X2 after a complete refurbishment from S&S in June 2026.
As mentioned, currently X2 is still closed and in the middle of an extensive investigation from California’s amusement-ride safety unit. So it is hard to speculate as to what the future for the roller coaster will be, despite running mostly without other major incidents reported over a 24-year history.
Now, I say “mostly”, because there will always be other injury claims reported out there over the years for any major roller coaster, but a quick Google search will tell you that over the ride’s operational history there has been over a dozen potential brain injury reports, and at least 70 guest complaints related to head and neck injuries. To my knowledge however, there was only one other reported death that implicated the ride, which was Hilda Farias back in 2010. Medical experts at the time reported that she had a pre-existing brain abnormality that had ruptured during the ride. Much like the 2022 death, the issue never went to court and was settled privately.
(8/23/2026) The legal wrangling over the death of a rider at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 2022 who collapsed after riding X2 are starting to hit the news headlines, though they have no connection to the latest closure of the roller coaster going on right now. One interesting report I came across however claims that S&S, who supplied the current trains for the Arrow made roller coaster, is now seeking a judge’s approval for a proposed settlement with the family.
The details of the settlement will not be revealed, but the article notes that depending on how the lawsuit against Six Flags from the family goes, S&S could not be liable to the family at all for any damages related to the 2022 incident. It has also been posted that the trains that were running on X2 at the time in 2022 were determined to not produce any acceleration forces that would be hazardous or dangerous, and operated exactly as designed and intended.
So the question is… why is S&S working towards making their own settlement with the family now ahead of the larger case against Six Flags? Or is this an indication of how S&S feels the case against Six Flags will be going and they’re just trying to get ahead of it?
(8/22/2026) Apparently more than X2 is now closed at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Just as the summer season is preparing to come to a close (well, school has started in some locations already) two more major roller coasters in the park have now closed down: Twisted Colossus and Scream!
According to the park’s refurbishment schedule on the website Twisted Colossus is slated to be closed from August 17th through to Sept. 4th, and Scream will be closed from August 17th through to Sept. 11. The park also closed down the Looney Tunes Lodge / Camp Duck Amuck Fort Fun on August 21st and it will stay closed through to Sept. 18.
(8/15/2026) It’s become known that X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain has been sitting closed for the past month or so, which on the surface seemed a little strange as the park had just announced the return of two train operations after loading a newly refurbished train back onto the tracks. While there was some initial speculation about possible technical issues, it seems the real reason X2 has been closed was due to an incident that took place in early July that went mostly unseen by local news stations. According to the latest reports it involved a rider returning to the station in an unconscious state.
An investigation likely followed this, which is why X2 has been closed, and while we don’t know any details about the reason, the popular rumor is that the rider may have had a pre-existing condition that could have been aggravated by riding X2 (and other rides) during their day at the park.
It is hoped that X2 can be cleared to reopen in time for the Fright Fest festivities to begin, but otherwise it seems to be out of the park’s control for the moment. Just be patient.
(8/12/2026) Six Flags Magic Mountain has confirmed that a new haunted maze will premier at the park this season for Fright Fest themed to the horror film series, Final Destination. The film series, famous for featuring very over the top death sequences, will see many of these brought to life in the Fright Fest haunt, which will be called Final Destination: Death’s Playground, which will join a few other choice IP themed haunted houses themed to The Conjuring Universe and Trick ‘r Treat, as well as four original concept mazes.
According to the OC Register, there will be an opening ceremony style event each night that will feature a new Fright Fest character named Kurvatu.
(8/11/2026) According to the video below, demolition work has begun at Six Flags Magic Mountain on the former Laughing Dragon restaurant building near the top of the mountain. The only thing about this that surprises me was that it took this long for the park to do it. As someone that grew up visiting the park often from the mid 1980s through to 2000, the one thing that I do remember is that this particular restaurant building sat closed more than it was ever open over that time period as the out of the way location never seemed to offer anything special enough to generate crowds to eat.
Back when the park opened in 1971 the restaurant was known as The Four Winds, and back then it was said to be a steak house… something you don’t find often in today’s theme parks. When Ninja opened in 1988 the park tried again with it, renaming it as the Laughing Dragon Pizza Company. Unfortunately, I never did try it… the heat that is common at the park in the summer was usually so bad that Pizza was that a piping hot Pizza was the last thing I wanted to eat. Despite that, it did survive for a time to feed riders wandering between Ninja and Superman: The Escape, but with construction on the new coaster ready to get serious soon, and rumors about changing the entire top of the mountain going forward (removing Ninja, Gold Rusher, the Skytower, what’s left of Superman and about anything else) perhaps this is just the first step.
(4/30/2026) Six Flags Magic Mountain is very much tapping into their roots. In addition to the OG logo being installed into the waterfall near the front of the park, they’ve not also restored the original name of the Revolution with a new sign over the entrance, renaming it “The Great American Revolution”.
(4/24/2026) An interesting bit of classic retro theming has been taking place at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Much like what we saw done to the big sign by the freeway a year or two ago, the Six Flags logo on the waterfall you see after you enter the park has been removed and replaced by a large new plain white “Magic Mountain” logo, done in the classic pre-Six Flags park font style.
I’m not sure why this has been done… but I have to admit I like it. It is a great bit of nostalgia for anyone who knows the park’s history and pre “Six Flags” origins.
You can see what the sign looked like last August in this IG photo at this link.
  2027- Thrill Glider - (9/10/2026) Six Flags Magic Mountain has announced their new roller coaster for 2027 at last… as… THRILL GLIDER. Yeah, I know I was hoping for a something a little more customized in the name department, but you know what? I’m going to allow it because if the actual coaster looks remotely like how they show it off in the artwork and animation with all the little custom theming bits here and there, then I’m sold, because this is a fantastic looking roller coaster that will fit in right at Magic Mountain. As previously predicted, the Vekoma Thrill Glider is essentially their motorbike style roller coaster seating configuration, mounted to an inverted roller coaster track system. Themed as hovercycles, riders will assume a prone, face-forward position suspended beneath the track.
Thrill Glider is going to claim several bullet-point items:
World’s First Multi-Launch Suspended ThrillGlider
World’s Fastest ThrillGlider
World’s Longest ThrillGlider
World’s Tallest ThrillGlider
Most Inversions on a ThrillGlider
And hey… for about a year this will be the world’s ONLY ThrillGlider, though there are currently 2 more confirmed to be on the way. (Race coming to Futuroscope in 2028 and Missie Luminar to Efteling in 2029).
So what are the hard numbers for Thrill Glider?
2 launches, up to 50 mph top speed, standing 107 feet tall and it will blast you through 5 inversions along 3380 feet of track, over 12 airtime moments, over the thrilling 80-second adventure. There will be 2 trains available, each able to hold 16 riders, with a minimum height requirement of 48”, so a perfect thrill for those who may not yet be tall enough to tackle the big B&M coasters just yet.
There is even a little storyline to go with the coaster, about how a “QuantumPulse Propulsion Systems” company is using the coaster to highlight a powerful new energy source. “The journey begins long before takeoff in "The Futurist Pavilion," a sleek showcase facility filled with dynamic displays, holographic presentations and scientific exhibits detailing the company's discovery of PSR B417, a powerful new energy source with the potential to transform tomorrow. As riders make their way through the queue, they catch glimpses of towering hexagonal collectors embedded into the hillside, harvesting energy from distant pulsars in space. Upon entering the load station, illuminated blue energy lines, aerodynamic architecture and pulsing atmospheric audio build anticipation as riders prepare to board QuantumPulse's latest breakthrough. Once launched, the power of PSR B417 will be felt firsthand as the vehicles soar above the landscape through sweeping maneuvers, sudden dives and weightless moments that simulate piloting a high-speed hovercycle powered by tomorrow's technology. Blending engaging storytelling, futuristic design and advanced coaster technology, Thrill Glider delivers a one-of-a-kind adventure that transports guests into an optimistic vision of the future.”
So if all the little tunnel theming and hex style portals light up at night, this is going to be a major attraction that guests are going to want to ride at night as well as in the daytime. Plus the little hex portals do remind me of my favorite roller coaster right in my own backyard… FURY 325 at Carowinds.
???? - New Attraction Guest Survey Concepts - (10/18/2025) Six Flags has begun sending out surveys to select guests to get feedback about possible future addition concepts that may be in the works. Keep in mind that not every concept they pitch for any given park may actually be intended for that particular park, as sometimes the chains will pitch ride concepts to other markets as well to gain some broader feedback on certain concepts. With that said… let’s dig into what is currently being pitched for the various parks.
Six Flags Magic Mountain pitched an interesting lineup of concepts to their guests, including a “Dueling Water Coaster”, which is really something for Hurricane Harbor over the main park, as it is a pair of side-by-side coaster style waterslides.
Adding into the rumors that the Six Flags corporate office may have had second thoughts about that odd-proposed Vekoma “Thrill Glider” concept that the park cleared a site for but has yet to start any kind of work, or received any hardware for, the park pitches a concept for a new Vekoma Launched Coaster. The graphic being shown is concept art for a proposed Vekoma Ghostrider model, though if built, the specific layout could obviously change. The first Vekoma Ghostrider model is currently under construction in Brazil for the new Cacau Park.
The third suggestion is to add a “Collection of Rides”, as in an assortment of new flat rides throughout the park, which is actually something that SFMM is in desperate need of.
The final proposal for SFMM is a strange proposal to “replace the current Justice League” dark ride with a new story-driven dark ride concept that “would bring the mystery and magic of legends to life.” Personally, I’d hate to see a good dark ride tossed away to renovate it into a new one, rather than just building a second ride from scratch. IP wise, the survey borrows the concept art for the returning Phantom Theater concept coming to Kings Island, but the text description seems to suggest something unique could be worked up. Given the history of Magic Mountain itself, it would be fun to see the creatives dig really far back here and come up with a new experience featuring the park’s original Wizard and Troll characters.
 ???? - Samurai Summit Renovation - (6/17/2026) Take this one with a huge grain of salt right now, but according to a source there are strange early whispers on the wind that indicate a possible plan under consideration at Six Flags Magic Mountain that could possibly change the layout of the park, and retire a few major rides in the process.
The plan apparently seeks to remove the need for guests to visit the top of “the mountain” itself. With Superman closed, and the Skytower itself having sat shut down for years, the only main attraction guests need to climb to the top of the mountain to experience is Ninja. Unfortunately, the rumors claiming that Ninja’s retirement will come sooner than later have been very loud for a number of years now, and at this point it is the second oldest Arrow Suspended Coaster still in operation in the world today. (The only one older is Iron Dragon at Cedar Point by one year.)
The last retirement rumor for Ninja also tied it into the new 2027 coaster project (Vekoma Thrill Glider), claiming that the new coaster would serve as a replacement concept that would offer a modern take on the suspended coaster concept. Now, diving down the rabbit hole it seems that when the park does decide to retire Ninja, they will want to close off access to the mountain-top entirely, with guests accessing Tatsu along the Baja Ridge pathway as they still do right now, right across the pathway from the Roaring Rapids entrance. The removal of Ninja would also allow for the removal / retirement of the Magic Mover / Orient Express / Funicular train up and down the hillside. There is also a new rumor claiming that the park may have just filed a demolition permit to remove the long closed Laughing Dragon restaurant building in the same Samurai Summit area as Ninja.
Now… there is one more ride removal rumor to share that fits in with this plan as well that would retire one of the park’s original attractions. Yes… I’m talking about the OLDEST coaster in the park… the 1971 Gold Rusher (Arrow Minetrain) coaster. While guests access it via the main ground-level park pathway, the coaster does climb all over the hillside, including around the closed Superman coaster, and venture into space near the future Thrill Glider coaster as well. The only upside to this is that we do have a rumored replacement concept… but it likely won’t see the light of day until 2029/2030.
If everything else follows through, then the plan being discussed right now is for Vekoma to create a very large and very long multi-launched family coaster experience. Look to the just announced Werewolf Gorge coaster coming to Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 2027 as a great example of what they want to create for Magic Mountain… only bigger, as it could take over much of the land used by Gold Rusher and Ninja.
(3/10/2025) Some interesting rumors have been sent our way regarding the future development of Six Flags Magic Mountain. Keep in mind that these are just wild rumors at this point, with nothing close to being verified… however… I’d be remiss if I didn’t admit that I had heard most of these rumors before in one form or another over the past few years.
The control and direction of the Six Flags chain has been itself under a wild ride over the past decade, falling under the guidance of several different leaders, each with their own vision of how they wanted to do things, as well as different priorities of which parks would be more in focus than others. Now with the latest political shift complete, finalizing the merger of Six Flags and Cedar Fair, it isn’t strange at all that some of the older rumors may be returning to light as the new leadership calling the shots is more known for their advanced planning efforts than the previous ones.
So with that in mind, I’m hearing that the focus of the park, following the opening of the 2026 roller coaster, will be to tackle a redesign of the park’s Samurai Summit district, which essentially would affect all the rides at the top of the mountain itself. The good news is that I’ve heard nothing at all about making any changes to Tatsu, but it is sounding like everything else up there would be under review.
This includes the closed Superman: The Escape (aka: Escape From Krypton) and I’m hearing that it may be very unlikely that Superman would ever reopen again. The one thing Superman has going for it is that the park does not want to lose the Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom ride attached to the sides of the Superman tower. Currently Lex Luthor is now the world record holder for being the tallest vertical drop tower ride in the world, offering a dizzying 415 foot drop to the ground below. While Lex Luthor’s height was surpassed by Zumanjaro at Six Flags Great Adventure, the demolition of the Kingda Ka tower that it was attached to has returned the record to Magic Mountain, or at least until the Sirocco Tower at Six Flags Qiddiya opens. I’ve been hearing that the difference in the tower structures and how these individual rides were built means that it is possible for the tower itself and Lex Luthor to stay in place, while still removing the launch tracks and station for the Superman coaster.
In a previous announcement, but under the old management, it was confirmed that the park was looking to reopen the closed Skytower at the top of the mountain, so hopefully this will still fall into the efforts of the future Samurai Summit renovation plans, along with renovations to other existing facilities on the mountain, and is also rumored to include the creation of an all new thrill ride.
There are rumors of another loss for Samurai Summit however, with an increasing number of whispers claiming that Ninja’s lifespan may be coming to an end. The coaster which opened in 1988 was the West Coast’s only Arrow Suspended coaster and was extremely popular for a long time, featuring a winding layout hidden by trees along the mountainside. Over the years most of those trees were removed (especially after one fell on the ride) and Ninja also suffered a little damage over the years from various Earthquakes, but it still managed to survive all these years relatively intact. If the rumors are to be believed, the long term planning efforts of the park to build the rumored Vekoma “thrill glider” coaster in 2026 is thought to be meant as a replacement for Ninja. If so, 2025 could be your last year to experience Ninja… or they might be able to keep it around for 2026 as well. Unlike how we’ve seen this year’s crop of closed rides just closed and demolished without warning, the early word is that the park is planning to give fans a healthy advanced warning as to when they plan to close Ninja for good.
Again… all rumors… but if you visit the park, do yourself a favor and get a few good rides in on Ninja while you still can. Nothing lasts forever…
