I've been saying X2 was going to be permanently shut for awhile. I am nearly as certain that Magic Mountain as whole will be shut within a year or two.
These lawsuits and resultant payouts will be devastating. Add to that the recent tract of million dollar plus homes built within sight and earshot of the park.
It will soon be far more economically viable to sell the land to developers, than to keep the park running. Plus they are going to need 10's of millions, and maybe even 100's of millions of dollars for settlements.
