Six Flags Magic Mountain Makes History with Record 20th Coaster
VALENCIA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Six Flags Magic Mountain, the “Thrill Capital of the World,” in partnership with Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment, makes history with the debut of WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage, the world’s tallest, longest single-rail coaster, and a never-before-achieved milestone as the park’s record 20th coaster—the most at any theme park on the planet. Unlike any other ride experience at Six Flags Magic Mountain, WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage propels riders single file on a nearly two-minute journey up a towering 13-story, 87-degree first drop and soaring at speeds up to 58 miles-per-hour over 3,300 feet of track. Inspired by the power of WONDER WOMAN herself, the record-breaking coaster features five intense elements, including three dramatic inversions, through a series of dives, banks, rolls and turns. WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage opens to the public on July 16, 2022.
WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage is located in the newly themed DC UNIVERSE area of the park, an immersive, six-acre DC inspired land featuring an all-new themed portal entrance. The reimagined area is also home to the popular BATMAN The Ride and the renamed TEEN TITANS Turbo Spin. A new retail store, uniquely designed for guests as they exit both WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage and BATMAN The Ride, features exclusive ride merchandise for both coasters, as well as other DC-branded merchandise.
“Today we’re making history with the debut of our record 20th coaster, the most at any theme park in the world. We are extremely proud to be the first theme park to accomplish this unprecedented and amazing feat as we add yet another world-class coaster to our iconic lineup,” said Six Flags Magic Mountain Park President Don McCoy. “Wonder Woman Flight of Courage is unlike any other coaster at our park and delivers a unique and thrilling experience for our guests. The expansion of DC Universe, one of our park’s most popular themed areas, highlights our dedication to creating new, immersive experiences and rides for thrill seekers of all ages,” he added.
Key features of WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage include:
- Four sleek trains of 12 passengers each sitting one rider per row along the monorail track;
- 3,300 feet of single-rail, I-beam track;
- Tension-building ascent up a towering, 131-foot lift hill;
- Reaching speeds up to 58 mph;
- Intense elements including a steep, 87-degree first drop and overbanked cutback;
- Three dramatic inversions including a 180-degree stall, raven dive and zero-gravity roll; and
