Six Flags America in Upper Marlboro will add the tallest ride in the theme park’s history this summer with the opening of the 240-foot tall Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth extreme swing ride.
The 24-story ride, created in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment, is named after the DC Comics super hero. It’s designed to spin riders around the tower in a 98-foot circle at speed of 40 miles per hour.
The park announced the ride as the new “Wonder Woman” movie opens in theaters Friday.
“Excitement around Wonder Woman is at its peak, making this the perfect time to debut the first ride bearing this iconic female DC Super Hero’s name,” said Rick Howarth, the park’s president, in an announcement Thursday.
