Six Flags Magic Mountain renames thrill ride to make room for Wonder Woman coaster

Rent Computer Hardware You Need, When You Need It

The imminent arrival of the new Wonder Woman Flight of Courage roller coaster has forced Six Flags Magic Mountain to come up with another DC Comics superhero name for an old Wonder Woman-themed spinning thrill ride.

The Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth ride at Magic Mountain has been renamed and rethemed as Teen Titans Turbo Spin, according to Six Flags officials.

Magic Mountain is only big enough for one Wonder Woman ride and that means the spinning thrill ride named for the comic book superheroine needed a new moniker to avoid confusion with a new roller coaster coming this summer to the Valencia amusement park.

The innovative new Wonder Woman Flight of Courage single-rail roller coaster, on which riders will straddle a monorail track, will open this summer in the DC Universe area of Magic Mountain.

The newly renamed and rethemed Teen Titans Turbo Spin centripetal force spinning ride built in 1974 has gone by several names in Magic Mountain’s history — including Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth, Electric Rainbow, Turbo and several variations of Gearworks.

The Teen Titans are a DC Comics superhero team lead by Batman’s sidekick Robin that includes Starfire, Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy.

Teen Titans was a long shot option in the DC Comics naming carousel — beating out The Joker, Green Lantern, The Flash, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Cyborg, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, Aquaman, Supergirl, Bizarro, Dark Knight and Mr. Freeze.

Magic Mountain has already used several of the most popular DC Comics characters for ride names — including Superman, Batman, Riddler, Lex Luthor and the Justice League.

The new Wonder Woman Flight of Courage single-rail coaster coming to Magic Mountain this summer will be billed as the world’s tallest and longest ride of its kind. The pandemic-delayed coaster was initially set to open in 2021.

Magic Mountain has already removed the 1989 Tidal Wave shoot-the-chutes water ride and 1974 Flash: Speed Force caterpillar-style ride to make room for the new Wonder Woman coaster.

The addition of the new Wonder Woman coaster in the DC Universe area of the park will also include a new restaurant and bar as well as a retail shop.

The new Wonder Woman Flight of Courage coaster will reach a top speed of 58 mph after climbing a 131-foot-tall lift hill and descending an 87-degree first drop. The ride’s four 12-passenger trains will travel over a 3,300-foot-long track featuring three inversions — a raven dive, zero gravity roll and 180-degree stall.

The Raptor single-rail track by Rocky Mountain Construction employs an innovative new coaster design from the Idaho-based ride manufacturer. Passengers on an RMC single-rail coaster sit in an inline-style train with their legs straddling an I-beam track.

The RMC coaster track layout for Wonder Woman Flight of Courage is expected to stretch from the DC Universe area of the park to Metropolis Plaza near the Justice League 3-D dark ride. The new ride will be flanked by a pair of DC Comics-themed coasters: Riddler’s Revenge and Batman: The Ride.

Magic Mountain’s new coaster will reuse the station house of the former Green Lantern: First Flight, an Intamin ZacSpin coaster that was removed and relocated to Montreal’s La Ronde amusement park.

The Greek-inspired entrance and queue for Flight of Courage will be themed to the hidden island of Themyscira, the fictional island home of Wonder Woman. The queue will showcase the legacy and life of Wonder Woman while explaining how she obtained her super powers.

Magic Mountain has already begun vertical construction on the new single-rail coaster.
