San Antonio, TX – Six Flags Fiesta Texas will debut the highly anticipated Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso Coaster an innovative new thrill ride from Rocky Mountain Construction. This all-new roller coaster features the first-of-its-kind single I-beam rail track with riders seated inline and their legs positioned on either side of the thin monorail-style track.

"Six Flags continues to raise the bar with groundbreaking new rides and attractions every year. We are very excited to debut the world's first single rail Wonder Woman coaster. This is an incredible ride that delivers big thrills from start to finish," said Park President Jeffrey Siebert. "With the launch of the Wonder Woman coaster, Six Flags Fiesta Texas has created an impressive trilogy of DC Super-Hero attractions, as Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso Coaster joins Batman: The Ride 4D Free Fly Coaster and Superman Krypton Coaster."

Fiesta Texas' installation will feature three 8-passenger trains adorned with colors of red, gold, and blue that race along the slender golden track held up with red colored supports. Trains race along 1,800 feet of track that is exactly 15.5 inches wide, completing the circuit in just under a minute.

Wonder Woman rises to a height of 113-feet, towering above Fiesta Texas' quarry walls, and begins with a 100-foot drop at a 90-degree angle. The track layout includes two airtime hills and three inverting elements: a dive loop, cutback, and zero-G roll.

A continuous moving loading station will expedite the loading and unloading of the roller coaster's three trains to improve capacity.

Themed elements were added to the queue to tell the story of Wonder Woman's life and how she obtained her super powers. Tropical landscaping and ancient architecture found in Themyscira, Wonder Woman's original island home, will surround guests. After boarding their streamlined ride vehicle, the incredible sensory journey begins, as riders are called upon to emulate Wonder Woman's determination to make the world a better place and fight the forces of evil. Just as Wonder Woman displays Super-Hero strength, agility and combat skills, riders will experience the same heroic qualities as they race through this record-breaking new attraction.

Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso Coaster will open to the public at Six Flags Fiesta Texas on May 12.
