Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Cal., 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 opened to the public on July 16. 

Theme parks are among the original location-based experiences. Wonder Woman Flight of Courage is in the newly themed DC Universe area of the park, an immersive, six-acre DC-inspired land featuring a 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.

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.”
