Six Flags has temporarily closed multiple thrill rides across its national park locations following a fatal incident on a roller coaster in Georgia this past Monday. The victim, a 42-year-old father, died during the ride, leading the company to initiate safety-related closures at various properties, including the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California.
These closures are being implemented by the company out of an abundance of caution while investigations into the Georgia incident proceed. The event follows recent operational changes at Six Flags Magic Mountain, which had already permanently closed its X2 roller coaster weeks prior to this nationwide safety measure.
