Six Flags Magic Mountain will add a new single-rail roller coaster in the summer of 2022 as the Valencia amusement park ups its record-setting coaster count to 20.
According to Six Flags officials, the Wonder Woman Flight of Courage single-rail coaster will debut in the DC Comics-themed area of Magic Mountain as the world’s tallest and longest ride of its kind. The pandemic-delayed coaster was initially set to open in 2021.

The new 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 Rocky Mountain Construction coaster track layout for Wonder Woman Flight of Courageis 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 is expected to 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.
Magic Mountain’s new coaster appears to be a slightly larger West Coast version of Jersey Devil Coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, which debuted in June as the world’s tallest, fastest and longest ride of its kind. The 130-foot-tall coaster reaches a top speed of 58 mph over a 3,000-foot-long track.
Rocky Mountain Construction has built similar Raptor Track single-rail coasters at Six Flags Fiesta Texas (Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster), California’s Great America (Railblazer) and Idaho’s Silverwood (Stunt Pilot) .
