Reimagined Section of Theme Park to Debut
Opening Weekend
Six Flags Great America— the Thrill Capital of the Midwest— in
partnership with Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment and DC, today
announced the introduction of DC UNIVERSE, an exciting,
newly themed section of the park where guests can immerse
themselves inside a DC comic book-inspired world. This area of the
park will feature three reimagined attractions – THE FLASH:
Vertical Velocity, a high-speed launch coaster, AQUAMAN
Splashdown, a winding flume ride with a watery plunge, and
DC Super-Villains Swing, an exhilarating spinning attraction
twirling guests in a 360-degree orbit. This one-of-a-kind themed
section will also include park favorites BATMAN The Ride and
THE JOKER Free-Fly Coaster.
“Six Flags Great America prides itself on bringing guests new,
innovative and thrilling experiences each season,” said Park
President John Krajnak. “DC UNIVERSE is the largest and most
exciting park enhancement in recent memory. This newly branded area
brings together some of DC’s most iconic Super Heroes and
Super-Villains for an exhilarating and immersive experience.”
DC UNIVERSE, located in the former Yankee Harbor section
of the park, will also offer new dining and shopping experiences,
as well as elevated guest comforts, like a broad, open midway, new
patio space to enjoy refreshments and photo op installations
featuring iconic DC characters.
Guests can satisfy their super hero-sized appetites at the
all-new Steelworks Pub, Gotham City Snacks, Central City Snacks and
Captain Cold Ice Cream, located within DC UNIVERSE and
available for mobile ordering on the Six Flags app when visiting
the park. Guests can enjoy the all-new beer garden and patio at
Steelworks Pub and delicious new treats, including Dole Whip, Oreo
Funnel Cake Sundaes, and Buffalo Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese, in DC
UNIVERSE and throughout the park.
Also new for 2022, Six Flags announces a three-tiered Pass
Program focused on maximizing the value and experience for guests.
The Thrill Seeker Pass is perfect for frequent home park
visitation. The Extreme Pass is ideal for live-on-the-edge thrills
all year, without blockout dates. The Ultimate Pass provides the
best value for everything offered; it includes all of the
advantages of an Extreme Pass, plus more! For additional benefits
and savings, with the purchase of an Extreme or Ultimate Pass, TWO
Junior Passes will be given for each one of the passes purchased.
The Junior Pass is for guests under 42”. For more information on
