Three Riders Sue Magic Mountain Over Brain Injuries. The Ride Closed in July.

Dordick Law Corporation says more than 300 people have contacted the firm with injury complaints about the X2 ride.

Three lawsuits filed this week accuse the X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain of causing serious brain damage to three people who rode it. Lawyers from Dordick Law Corporation announced the filings at a press conference on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, FOX 11 Los Angeles reported.

One of those cases has a hospital room attached to it. Naomi Greer-Wilkinson was 25 when she rode X2 in July at the park in Valencia, and her parents told FOX 11 she stumbled and then collapsed right after she stepped off the attraction. They say she suffered severe brain trauma and is still hospitalized.

Another rider, Pamela Guillen, spoke at Tuesday's press conference.

“I woke up weeks later after emergency brain surgery. That was not part of the plan.”

The firm put a much larger number on the room. Attorneys said more than 300 people have contacted them with injury complaints tied to X2, though they said they couldn't take on every case, for a range of reasons. A further batch is coming, the lawyers said: upward of 100 more clients, each one claiming the same coaster left them brain-injured.

The lawyers allege the problem is the ride's design. Christopher Bulone, an attorney with the firm, said biomedical engineering experts retained by the lawyers describe X2 as more extreme than the coasters that preceded it, with more variables and more forces at work, according to FOX 11's account of the briefing. Gary Dordick, the firm's named attorney, went further.

“Magic Mountain has known about the danger of this ride for years.”

None of that has been tested in court. These are allegations in newly filed complaints, and a settlement isn't a finding either. Weeks before Tuesday's filings, the theme park reached a settlement agreement with the parents of a rider who was 22, a recent college graduate, and who died after a trip on X2, the outlet reported.

Six Flags Magic Mountain declined to comment on the suits when FOX 11 asked, saying it's the park's standard policy not to discuss pending litigation.

A park spokesperson did confirm one thing. X2 has been closed since the evening of July 12, 2026, and it hasn't reopened since.
