Welcome to our first tour of Justice League Battle for Metropolis at Six Flags Magic Mountain. When the ride was announced we'd made a comment during our Facebook Live Chat that we felt we'd get some pretty amazing access to the construction of this ride, and that begins today. We hope you enjoy!! Written by Gregg Condon If you like your tours in video form be sure to check out the video we posted last night. We'll start off in what will soon be Metropolis As you can see, no work has begun here and Riddler's may indeed be open for Fright Fest. We'll just have to see this weekend. Still not sure what JB's will be ... as soon as we know we'll pass it along. We were actually able to see a VR Rendering of Metropolis and it looked pretty awesome The gas station was gone in the VR Rendering As were most of these planters It appeared that Riddler's Revenge had a new sign, but we'll see what happens The entry to Metropolis The Rock Wall will also be leaving (Sorry Cody) The food area is also going to be getting a much needed make-over Moving into the construction site, you can see just how big the area is Most of the work right now consists of laying pipe ... ;) Where the gazebo is there will be a beer garden. No idea if the actual gazebo will be a part of it. Where the entrance to the Hall of Justice will be Fog Control Point? These are probably on the way out, hope they save them somehow. One other small tidbit ... Tidal Wave will NOT be a part of Metropolis and the entrance to the ride is actually being moved over to where the Fastlane entrance is now. Seems kind of odd to have a non DC ride in the middle of the two main DC area's in the park, but everybody has thought the entrance to Tidal Wave was over here for years. Hopefully it will improve ridership. Be sure to check back later today for our amazing tour of the all new Aftermath 2 maze and Suicide Squad scare zone.

This insanely twisted chaos coaster will be a massive new centerpiece in the Yankee Harbor section of the park, next to Batman The Ride roller coaster. “We are excited to continue our partnership with the DC brand as it continues to resonate well with our guests. The Joker is undeniably one of the greatest Super-Villains of all time,” said Hank Salemi, Six Flags Great America park president. “This free-fly coaster will perfectly capture the essence of the warped and unpredictable nature of The Joker. It will take our park to the next level of thrills.” After being lifted straight up a 12-story, 90-degree hill, the free-fly coaster will wreak havoc as riders flip head-over-heels at least six times along the weightless journey. Thrill seekers will experience exhilarating leaps and dives along a horizontal plane with unexpected drops as they tumble from one level to the next. The wing seats amp up the pandemonium since riders will experience this wild adventure with no track above or below ─ just the sky, ground and plenty of sinister thrills.
