Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, CA

We interrupt our haunting spree with a little interlude to announce something non-spooky theme park related for next year! After months of speculation on the apparent new roller coaster developments around the old Tidal Wave attraction, we’ve finally learned that Six Flags Magic Mountain will be bringing Wonder Woman to its DC Universe section with its record-breaking 20th roller coaster. Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage will be the tallest, longest single rail roller coaster in the world when it opens next summer, and Southern California coaster fans will no longer have to go up to California’s Great America to get their Rocky Mountain Coaster Single Rail fix!
