Product placement

Six Flags Magic Mountain: ACTS - it is the amusement park where the video takes place and the roller coaster is located. Removing it would change the context of the video. Six Flags: APPEARS - it is the brand of the amusement park, visible as a watermark and on screen text. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

On-screen text

Original caption

X2 at Six Flags may permanently close due to multiple people getting head injuries…😭💔 so I’m sharing this in case we never get to ride it again. Can we PLEASE have them get rid of Viper instead?? @Six Flags #x2 #x2sixflagsmagicmountain #sixflagsmagicmountain #amusementpark #rollercoaster
