“Get ready for a thrilling, wild new ride that will exceed all
expectations,” said Don McCoy, park president. “Imagine propelling
through the air, while concurrently spinning and reaching great
heights at the same time. We welcome this iconic Super Hero to our
growing line-up of DC- branded attractions.”
Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth is an oversized
pendulum-shaped ride that will send guests on a supersonic journey
high above the park. Wonder Woman, the world’s most iconic female
DC Super Hero, is the embodiment of justice, equality and peace;
and a symbol of female empowerment, as she fights to seek for
justice.
Ride highlights include:
- 40 riders seated facing outward around
a large saucer that propels at speeds of nearly 70 miles per
hour;
- The ride swings back and forth while
rotating counterclockwise; and
- As guests swing higher and higher, they
experience a feeling of weightlessness as they climb 147 feet in
the air.
Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth will be located between
thrill coasters, Superman Ultimate Flight and The Joker and in
close proximity to another DC ride, the spinning water cannon
attraction, The Penguin.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will be open daily for the summer
Memorial Day Weekend.
Guests can purchase a 2017 Season Pass for unlimited admission
to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and any other Six Flags theme park
that includes special admission offers for friends. Season Passes
provide park admission to this season’s Super Hero Summer, Fright
Fest®, Holiday in the Park® and all of 2017.
Passholders may also purchase an All Season Dining Pass, which
includes a lunch, dinner, and snack during every park visit.
