Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage opened on July 16, 2022, at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, claiming the titles of the world’s tallest and longest single-rail roller coaster. Built by Rocky Mountain Construction on the Raptor Track model, the ride sends riders soaring 131 feet before plunging down a near-vertical 87-degree first drop and screaming through three inversions at up to 58 mph.
Occupying the footprint of the former Green Lantern: First Flight coaster in the park’s DC Universe section, the ride immerses guests in the mythology of Themyscira — Wonder Woman’s island home — through a Greek-inspired entrance and queue. Riders board single-file trains, which only adds to the exposed, wing-like sensation as the coaster threads its signature Dive Loop, Zero-G Stall, and Zero-G Roll.

The Ride Experience
After a chain-lift haul to 131 feet, Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage tips over an 87-degree drop — just shy of straight down — before rocketing through a Dive Loop that sends riders inverted over the first hill. A sustained Zero-G Stall holds guests upside-down momentarily, followed by a snappy Zero-G Roll to close out the inversion sequence. The single-rail Raptor Track design means no adjacent seats: every rider has an unobstructed view of the California sky and the terrain rushing past below.
The ride covers 3,300 feet of track in under two minutes, blending high-speed straightaways with sweeping turns across the hillside terrain of Magic Mountain. Because riders sit in a single-file, straddle-style seating arrangement, the sensation is closer to a motorbike than a traditional coaster car, amplifying every twist and near-miss with the structure.
Records and Legacy
When Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage debuted in summer 2022, it set two world records simultaneously: tallest and longest single-rail roller coaster on the planet, edging out Rocky Mountain Construction’s own Jersey Devil Coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, which it closely resembles in layout. The achievement pushed Six Flags Magic Mountain’s coaster count higher and reinforced the park’s long-standing reputation as a destination for record-breaking thrill rides.
The attraction also marked a significant expansion of DC-themed experiences at Magic Mountain, joining a roster that already included Superman: Escape from Krypton and Batman The Ride. Its Themyscira-inspired theming — rare for a modern thrill coaster — gave the ride a distinct visual identity that sets it apart from the steel-and-blue color schemes typical of the genre.
