History

On October 21, 2021, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage was announced by Six Flags Magic Mountain, along with the opening year of 2022.[2] The roller coaster is located at the former site of two attractions; Green Lantern: First Flight and Tidal Wave.[1] The new ride also reuses the former Green Lantern: First Flight station.[5]

Construction of the attraction had begun two months before the announcement in August 2021 with land clearing. Track pieces had already arrived around the same time.[6]

Wonder Woman Flight of Courage opened on July 16, 2022.[7]
