Six Flags Fiesta Texas, The Thrill Capital of South Texas, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, today unveiled the newest innovation in thrill ride technology and the world’s first-ever single rail Wonder Woman themed roller coaster — WONDER WOMAN: Golden Lasso Coaster. This cutting-edge marvel features a first-of-its-kind single I-beam rail with riders seated single file and their legs positioned on either side of the thin monorail track.

“Six Flags continues to raise the bar with groundbreaking new rides and attractions every year. We are very excited to debut the world’s first single rail Wonder Woman coaster. This is an incredible ride that delivers big thrills from start to finish,” said Park President Jeffrey Siebert. “With the launch of the Wonder Woman coaster, Six Flags Fiesta Texas has created an impressive trilogy of DC Super-Hero attractions, as WONDER WOMAN: Golden Lasso Coaster joins BATMAN: The Ride 4D Free Fly Coaster and Superman Krypton Coaster.”

WONDER WOMAN: Golden Lasso Coaster features three single seat trains in themed colors of red, gold and blue that race along a slender golden track held high by massive red supports. As guests enter the ride queue, they are greeted by a spectacular likeness of Wonder Woman and immersed in the story of her life and how she obtained her super powers. Guests will be surrounded by tropical landscaping and ancient architecture found in Themyscira, Wonder Woman’s original island home. After boarding their streamlined ride vehicle, the incredible sensory journey begins, as riders are called upon to emulate Wonder Woman’s determination to make the world a better place and fight the forces of evil. Just as Wonder Woman displays Super-Hero strength, agility and combat skills, riders will experience the same heroic qualities as they race through this record-breaking new attraction.

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 breathtaking straight-down 90-degree drop; a first for a Fiesta Texas coaster;
• Two airtime hills, one 180-degree stall, a zero-g roll, and overbanked turns;
• Three vehicles with eight single-file passenger seats;
• A moving loading station to expedite entering and exiting the ride;
• A visual storyline of Princess Diana in Themyscira displayed throughout the queue line featuring tropical landscaping and ancient architecture found in Themyscira, Wonder Woman’s home.

WONDER WOMAN: Golden Lasso Coaster opens to the public on May 12. Today’s launch marks the beginning of an action-packed year for Six Flags Fiesta Texas guests. The 2018 season includes the return of the park’s spectacular Mardi Gras Festival and Parade; along with an immersive, new dark ride attraction — Pirates of the Deep Sea, free water park admission featuring the new Thunder Rapids water coaster, and a number of other surprises.
