Six Flags temporarily closed nine roller coasters across the U.S. and Canada, including the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA, following a Monday fatality on the Goliath ride at Six Flags Over Georgia. Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, 42, of Atlanta, was ejected from the Georgia coaster and died; Cobb County police are investigating. The California Goliath, a 255-foot hypercoaster with a different manufacturer and layout than its Georgia namesake, will remain closed until further notice out of an abundance of caution. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo was not affected by the closures. The announcement comes weeks after Magic Mountain permanently closed the X2 coaster following reports of deaths and brain injuries linked to that ride.
