Wonder Woman Flight of Courage Media Day at Six Flags Magic Mountain

The day was finally here, we were finally going to get our first rides on the record breaking 20th coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Armed with all of our cameras we headed to the park yesterday morning to be among the first to ride this epic coaster. 

While the opening ceremony and our ride time weren't until much later in the day, we knew we had to get there early to get some rides on Wonder Woman! And the ride does not disappoint. In this update we'll share with you all of our pics and video of Wonder Woman and the (still in progress DC Universe) as well as some thoughts on the ride. Enjoy!

Wonder Woman is finally here!
Picture
A ride that is fitting to her name!

Standing guard over her domain!
Picture
How about some action shots!
Picture

Picture
The ride is very photogenic, as we knew it would be
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Lots of spots to get great pictures and video
Picture

Picture
Picture
The rest of DC Universe is still a work in progress
Picture
Picture
We've been told more shade and seating is coming. And maybe a few other things. Stay tuned!
Picture
The sign for Teen Titans Turbo Spin has not been installed yet, or maybe it is now.

Batman The Ride has a new sign and entry

Some new lighting and I think a few new props in the station

Wonder Woman Flight of Courage Ride Review:

Like West Coast Racers before it, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage is simply a fun ride. It's not going to top anybody's coaster lists like Twisted Colossus or X2, but that's ok. I actually like that Magic Mountain has seemingly moved away from prototype rides and has instead moved towards having a collection of really fun attractions.

The odd thing for me is after about 6 or 7 rides on Wonder Woman, I was done for the day. Whereas with Railblazer, I rode about 30 times on that rides media day. This goes down to the ride riding VERY different than the first generation of RMC Single Rail coasters. This one definitely hits you in the stomach more, or at least it hit me in the stomach more. 

The front end of the train is very "floaty" airtime, the back of the train will give you that sustained ejector airtime. It really is like two different ride experiences. And I do encourage you to ride in multiple locations on the train. There isn't a bad seat. 

The loading of the ride is fantastic with the trains moving through the station in a continuous motion. When one train hits the mid-course brake, the next is being dispatched. If they can sustain this, throughput should be great for this attraction! Be warned, you cannot put your loose articles in the station due to this process. Lockers are a must. Something I personally wish they'd make mandatory on all of the parks attractions (and something I know makes people mad at me). =) 

Overall, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage is a worthy addition to the coaster lineup at Six Flags Magic Mountain. There is a lot of expansion still be done in this area of the park, and we're personally hoping for a water attraction of some kind. I think the park has enough top gun stalls and zero-g rolls at this point.

Thanks again to Magic Mountain for having us out for media day. It's always a treat!

Opening Day

We also headed back to the park on Opening Day, here are a few opening day thoughts and pics that we didn't get on Thursday. 
Picture
Arrived about 9:00am to park and parking opened about 9:40am. I do wish they'd let people in earlier to help with traffic.
Picture
Made it in for passholder early entry, and had to do the run (well, fast walk) to Wonder Woman
Picture
Once we got to Wonder Woman we had to wait about 20 minutes for the ride to open (about 10:50).
Picture
Ride not even open yet and people are trampling the planters and grass. This is why we can't have nice things.
Picture
Ride sign, complete with sensory guidelines. Love it!
Picture
The inside portion of the queue. This was a video for Green Lantern, now it's just a wall. I hope they'll do something here.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The AC was on, but VERY low. They need to kick it up a notch in here. Thankfully with 4-train ops you're only in here for maybe 10 minutes tops.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some cool wall art on this side.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Wonder Weapons
Picture
They've added free bins to the paid lockers and this process seems to have gone quicker than preview day.
Picture
From under this sign it's about a 30 minute wait with 4-train ops.
Picture
The line only went to about here, which we estimated to be about an hour. Wait times went down significantly as the day progressed.
Picture
An overview of the newly redesigned DC Universe, that isn't done yet.
Picture
The lack of shade in this area is a rather large issue with the heat, so stay hydrated.
Picture
The park was absolutely empty. Reminded me of an off-season weekday.
Picture
No Wonder Woman Flight of Courage merchandise was to be found, but some new Tatsu and Viper shirts!
Picture
Picture
Like an excessive amount of new Viper merch.
Picture
Picture
Which makes you wonder ...
Picture
Picture
That's a wrap for our Wonder Woman coverage. We most likely won't be back at the park until Fright Fest. We've got a busy 2 months coming up.  Disneyland and Midsummer Scream the last weekend in July. A visit to Knott's sometime in early August and then our epic road trip in late August/early September.

​We'll be hitting up Silver Dollar City, Cedar Point and Kings Island for our first ever visits to those parks. And then a day at Canada's Wonderland just before all the Halloween fun starts.

Six Flags Magic Mountain Wonder Woman Flight of Courage Update #12 - May 31, 2022

Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday! Hope you all had a great long holiday weekend, and if you visited any parks you brought your patience with you. We made a quick stop at Magic Mountain on Friday before the weekend crowds showed up, only to see that it was Middle School day in the park. Needless to say, this was the shortest visit I've made to the park since they reopened last year. I think I was at the park for about 45 minutes tops. 

But that was enough time to get some pics and video of what's going on around the park, and use my skip the line pass on Full Throttle. 

I also apologize for the brightness of the pics/video. It was overcast and very bright and not the best day to get pics. Everything looks washed out. Oh well. It happens. =) 

Let's get into the update!

Flags are at half staff for yet another mass shooting. If we're not going to do anything about this we might as well keep them like this. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
Picture
Orient Express/Honda Express has another new name!
Picture
But it was closed during our visit, so not moving.
Picture
The full throttle stage is back up, and decked out for Grad Nite.
Picture
Picture
What you all came here for!
Picture
A look at the almost completed lift hill.
Picture
I have to be honest, I expected them to be a bit further along since it had been 2 weeks since our last update.
Picture
A look at the store/restaurant/we don't know yet. This looks to be in pretty much the same spot as Teen Titans Pizza was, so we're going with food.
Picture
The final turn into the brake run is complete
Picture
The track and Riddler's supports are pretty identical in color
Picture
Mid Course Brake Run
Picture
Picture
They've started installing the perimeter fence around the coaster.
Picture
Looks pretty similar to what is there for Riddler's
Picture
The top of the lift
Picture
An overview of the middle section of the coaster
Picture
I know we'd been discussing a July 4th opening, and they could technically still make it, but it will be close. We had heard track was to be completed by the end of May, that's obviously not happening. Even if it's done by the end of this week, that leaves barely a month to finish if they're hoping for July 4th. I just don't see it happening. Right now I'd say a mid-July opening. But obviously we'll update you all if we hear any different.

Six Flags Magic Mountain Wonder Woman Flight Of Courage Update #11 - April 30, 2022

Happy Saturday and welcome to another update from Six Flags Magic Mountain!

Normally we wait until Monday's to post these updates, but things are happening so fast with construction right now, they'd be outdated by then. Lots of twisty awesomeness to show you today so let's get right into it.

Over here on the DC side we got some news about what's coming the other day. Click the link below to check it out.

What will soon be the Teen Titans Turbo Spin
Picture
As it has been for awhile, most of the visible work is going on over on the Metropolis side.
Picture
And we've got a lot more track even since our update last week.
Picture
That airtime hill (chefs kiss)
Picture
Picture
It's so Twisty!!
Picture
There are going to be some great headchoppers on this ride!
Picture
The Mid Course Brake Run
Picture
Picture
They are not messing around.
Picture
Some awesome close to the ground elements too.
Picture
The former Flash/Himalaya is still sitting out behind Scream. I really hope it's going to end up somewhere else.
Picture
SFMM can't afford to lose another flat ride.
Picture
Your gentle reminder, weekdays from now until early June are the absolute best days of the year to visit. Great weather, low crowds and a general relaxed feeling all around the park.
We also did a second video, "Five Things I Would Do at Six Flags Magic Mountain If I Was in Charge". 

But I kept this realistic, and honestly, rather low cost. So you're not going to see "Add a Giga" or "Open the Sky Tower" in this video.
