“Six Flags continues to lead the industry in introducing
innovative coasters, rides and attractions and Fiesta Texas boasts
a number of technological firsts including the world’s largest
rocket blast water coaster—Thunder Rapids; the country’s first
tower drop virtual reality attraction—Drop of Doom, and BATMAN: The
Ride 4D Free Fly Coaster. Continuing that tradition, WONDER WOMAN™
Golden Lasso Coaster joins her fellow DC Super Heroes as the
first-ever single rail streamline designed coaster,” said Park
President Jeffrey Siebert.
WONDER WOMAN™ Golden Lasso Coaster features three single
seat trains (in themed colors of red, yellow and blue) that race
along a slender yellow track supported by massive red supports. As
guests enter the ride queue, they will be greeted by a spectacular
likeness of Wonder Woman herself and immersed in the story of her
life and how she obtained her super powers. Guests will be
surrounded by tropical landscaping, Greek architecture, and even
Steve Trevor’s crashed plane. After boarding their streamlined ride
vehicle, the incredible sensory journey begins, as riders are
called upon to emulate Wonder Woman’s determination to improve the
world and fight the forces of corruption and evil. Just as Wonder
Woman displays Super Hero strength, agility and combat skills,
riders will experience the same heroic feats as they race through a
one-of-a-kind 90-degree drop, overbanked wave turn, zero-g roll and
a steep uphill spiral.
As the first of its kind in the world, WONDER WOMAN™ Golden
Lasso Coaster features:
- The world’s first, one-of-a-kind
single-rail coaster on a visually impressive I-beam no wider than
15.5 inches;
- A spectacular straight-down 90-degree
drop;
- Two airtime hills, one 180-degree
stall, a zero-g roll, and overbanked turns;
- Three vehicles with eight single-file,
in-line passenger seats;
- A moving loading station to expedite
entering and exiting the ride; and
- A Princess Diana in Themyscira visual
storyline throughout the queue line featuring Greco-Greek
architecture, Wonder Woman likenesses and Steve Trevor’s crashed
plane.
