SFMM Wonder Woman Flight of Courage Update #2 and Holiday In The Park - November 22, 202111/22/2021
This past weekend we headed out to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Magic Mountain! But of course, before checking out all the lights and stuffing our faces, we had to peek in at the progress on Wonder Woman Flight of Courage and the Tatsu repaint!
Written by Gregg Condon 
And poof, just like that we've gone from Fright Fest to Holiday In The Park!
Some cute photo ops around the park!
Hmm, something is missing
The DC Universe Arch is gone! We like it! Can now see all the way back to Batman!
We still see you there Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth!
All of DC Unvierse is now blocked off! Excited to see what they do back here!
Not much difference since our last update, just lots of footers waiting for supports.
Soon. Very soon.
Lots of holes in the fence to get pics and video! Would imagine the park will fix this soon.
Tatsu is getting a new (and much needed) paint job!
When I first saw the new colors last week they looked Green and Red.
But as you can see here, they are Green and a Dark Orange. I like it!
The green really pops
Ooops, you forgot one! =)
Definitely some pressure washing needed here before repainting.
Best of luck to whoever gets to repaint that part of the coaster.
Two of the coaster murals were covered up. Can assume one will be for Wonder Woman. Not sure if one needed to be replaced?
Some Holiday merchandise. Definitely not as much variety as Fright Fest.
Pe-Poop Tree-ce and J-Poop Santa Hat-y. I don't get it.
Let's check out some pretty lights and yummy food!
Always one of our favorite times of year at the park
Pear and Brie grilled cheese. Quite yummy!
Some of the displays from last years Drive-Thru event have come back!
As well as some returning favorites
Mac and Cheese Burger
The bus is back!!
Absolutely LOVED the decorations in HollyRock!
Ms. Diana Frost and Elfis!
Love the Juke Box!
A playlist of all the songs in the area! Love it! I really wish this area would keep the 50's/60's car theme all year round. Works MUCH better and much more fun!
Here's the HollyRock playlist for you all on Spotify. I could not find one song, "Home for the holidays" by Vera Lynn.
These are always a favorite!
The tree looks great! But can't wait to see what they do with this area next year!
As much as we love this area during Fright Fest, we think it looks even better during Holiday in the Park
Love how this turned out!
This shake was delicious!
That's going to wrap it up! We hope you enjoyed! We'll be back at Holiday In The Park soon!

Happy November everybody and welcome to our first "official" update for Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Sure, we've known for awhile what coaster is actually coming to the park, but now it's officially official and we can stop referring to it as "2022 Coaster". That's kind of fun. We've got a lot of great pics and video to share, so let's get right into it! Written by Gregg Condon 
Our first non Fright Fest update since August!
I rode X2 and Tatsu for the first time since 2019, and I had some thoughts. You can see our tweet from Friday below. But the gist is, I'm just not a fan of either of these rides. I know I've talked about this before, and I keep waiting to "get it". But I don't think I ever will.
In fact, riding both of these rides pretty much took me out for the remainder of the day. I only rode Superman after this at SFMM and later in the day at Unviersal I only did the Studio Tour. Just something about these two rides in particular don't agree with me. Yet I can ride Twisted Colossus, Batman, Riddlers, Full Throttle, Goliath, etc all day. Go figure.
Alright, let's get on with the construction stuff!
It appears the footers are all dug. No digging equipment is left on site.
Which means we're now going to be moving into the next phase of construction, and that will be installing the supports.
However we're not sure when that will be, no crane is on site that we can tell.
Some larger square and rectangle footers to go along with all of the round footers.
Lots of vegetation staying to mimic the island of Mia Thermopolis, err, Themyscira.
Over on the DC universe side, some more very large supports
I still really wish they were connecting these two areas. As you can see, all of the large digging equipment from our last update is now gone.
The rides entry area and station
And finally, we do know the round-up is staying, it's going to get yet another new name. Our speculation is Supergirl. What do you think the ride should be rethemed to?

It's now getting into the final week of the 2021 Halloween season. In some ways it seems like it's been going on for a long time, in other ways it seems like it just began. It's been a phenomenal season and this week we have so many events to visit or revisit. So it was last Friday after doing some Santa Clarita Valley Home Haunts that we found ourselves at Fright Fest for our last visit of the 2021 season. In many ways it's been a weird season for not just Fright Fest, but a lot of events. But we're so happy to say that the event is firing on all cylinders as they close out their season. Visiting on a Friday is definitely a different crowd/vibe than visiting on a Saturday, and we HIGHLY recommend it. Not a lot of crowds, or teenager groups just wandering around trying to "scare" the actors. Just a really fun night all the way around. Let's head right in and get to the pics! Written by Gregg Condon  At about 10:30pm, this was the wait that greeted us.  Hello Mr. Demon  One last walk through Terror Rising (still don't think they need the Dark Developments tagline)  It definitely is creepy and gives some amazing views of Viper, which was running, well, like Viper.  I don't remember seeing this last time. Hmm.  We of course had to say hi to our friends in Nightmares
 There are so many new and amazing characters in this area. You can tell they really all love working with each other. Look for this scare zone to be absolutely insane in 2022.     The more I think about it, the more I hope the neon Zombie theme extends to the Aftermath maze in 2022.  Some amazing lighting, sets and characters here.  Our first "official" Wonder Woman construction pic!  This was our first time walking through Witches Lair, it had been too busy all the other times we've visited. We really enjoyed it!  That said, would REALLY like to see City Under Seige expand to this area, and the Witches take over the area between Full Throttle and Goliath. They've earned it!   Of course, our main must-see of the night was Sliders of the Night. It's an amazing slider show. But first, some fun with the amazing talent back here.
 Got my awesome noggin-to-noggin what's up from one of the Exile Bros!
 Before the show we took a ride on The Flash, because why not.  Some pics from the show!   Thanks Fright Fest for another great season, they really bring it every night. And that's to be commended given the stresses of the 2021 season. I'll be back at the park on Friday during the day for a proper "park update", it's been awhile, so look forward to that. This week we'll be visiting Halloween events on Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun. So stay tuned! Related Videos

 The Tallest and Longest Single-Rail Coaster on the Planet Will Debut at The Thrill Capital of the World Summer 2022  VALENCIA, California — October 21, 2021 — Six Flags Magic Mountain, the undisputed “Thrill Capital of the World,” in partnership with Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment and DC, today unveiled plans to add yet another record-breaking coaster--WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage—to its unparalleled thrill ride lineup. Six Flags Magic Mountain’s record 20th roller coaster—the most at any theme park in the world—will debut as the tallest and longest single-rail coaster on the planet where riders will fly over 3,300 feet of track, towering 13 stories and soaring at speeds up to 58 miles-per-hour. The new coaster will be located in the six-acre DC UNIVERSE™ area of the park, which will be expanded and entirely remodeled to include a new, innovative restaurant and bar experience, plus retail locations featuring exclusive DC branded merchandise. “This is an historic milestone for our park as we introduce the latest addition to our unrivaled coaster dynasty, WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage. Not only is this a record-breaking single-rail coaster, it brings Six Flags Magic Mountain’s coaster count to an unprecedented twenty, the most in the world,” said Park President Don McCoy. “Our partnership with Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment makes this accomplishment even more exciting, as we integrate the legacy of an iconic DC Super Hero into the theming of the ride. Additionally, we are creating a more innovative guest experience by redesigning one of our most popular areas, DC UNIVERSE, which will become the home of WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage,” added McCoy.  WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage exemplifies the Super Hero’s traits of strength and speed—showcasing the legacy of Wonder Woman herself. As guests enter the ride queue, influenced by Greek architecture and featuring tropical landscaping, they will be immersed in the story of her life and how she obtained her super powers. Riders will join forces with Wonder Woman in the fight for truth, justice, and equality, to embark on an incredible journey of heroic feats, propelling through dives, banks, rolls, and turns designed to challenge the bravest of thrill seekers.
Key features of WONDER WOMAN Flight of Courage include:

Six Flags Magic Mountain has updated the Covid Regulations on their website due to a new L.A. County Regulation. On days that the park is expected to surpass 10,000 visitors, the park is considered a Mega-Event and visitors will have to show proof of Vaccination or negative Covid-19 test within 72 hours.  The park is also offering an expedited way of submitting your status. We strongly suggest downloading the clear app as it probably will need to be used at more events moving forward.  In addition. Mask mandates are returning on Mega-Event dates.  On non-Mega-Event days, the mandates are in line with what we have now.   The park will also be offering on-site testing. For free.    A look at the dates the mega-event mandate will be in place. The first date is this Friday.         It will be interesting to see how this impacts crowds on Fright Fest days for the rest of the month. This will definitely be an interesting few weeks for the park. But it makes us want to visit even more. Related Videos
