SAN ANTONIO – Just months after DC Entertainment released the ‘Wonder Woman’ film in theaters, Six Flags Fiesta Texas unveiled plans Thursday to debut the superhero’s first-ever themed roller coaster named “Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster.”

Video animation of the ride shows the “world’s first, one-of-a-kind single-rail coaster on a visually impressive I-beam” with a straight-down 90-degree drop as riders are seated in a single file line in one of the ride's three trains.
The new roller coaster will also feature two airtime hills, one 180-degree stall, a zero-h roll and overbanked turns allowing riders to experience an “open-air, unobstructed view as they twist and turn above the stunning 100-feet quarry walls.”
In the video, the new roller coaster is placed in the same area as the “Power Surge” boat ride, which the park formally retired in July after its 25 years of service.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas also announced the “Wonder Woman” ride will make its debut in Spring 2018.
The ride will feature a "Princess Diana in Themyscira visual storyline throughout the queue line featuring Greco-Greek architecture, Wonder Woman likenesses and Steve Trevor’s crashed plane," the press release said.
In the press release, the park also announced the new ride is in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment.
