洛杉矶——六旗娱乐公司正在永久退役X2过山车，该过山车因被指控导致脑损伤而成为诉讼主题。
LOS ANGELES – Six Flags Entertainment is permanently retiring the X2 roller coaster, which has been the subject of lawsuits alleging that the ride caused brain injuries.
“虽然X2始终通过了大量安全测试，但我们决定关闭该游乐设施，因为我们认为这是正确的做法，”该公司位于加州瓦伦西亚的魔幻山公园总裁布莱恩·奥尔丁在声明中说。
“While X2 consistently passed a multitude of safety tests, we have decided to close the ride because we believe it’s the right thing to do,” Brian Oerding, the president of the company’s Magic Mountain Park in Valencia, California, said in a statement.
“游乐设施安全是我们业务的基石，当我们看到游客信心受到影响时，我们会严肃对待。”
“Ride safety is a cornerstone of our business, and when we see guest confidence affected, we take it seriously.”
