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 — records it still holds today. 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.
Quick Answer
Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage is a 131-foot, 58-mph Rocky Mountain Construction Raptor Track coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain — the world’s tallest and longest single-rail roller coaster, with 3,300 feet of track and three inversions. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, and it’s rated the park’s highest thrill level.

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 roughly a minute and a half, 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.
Height Requirement and Who Can Ride
Six Flags Magic Mountain requires riders to be at least 48 inches (122 cm) tall to board Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage, and the park rates it a Level 4 thrill ride — its highest intensity classification, reserved for the most aggressive coasters in the DC Universe lineup. There is no maximum height limit, but the straddle-style trains use a lap bar and shoulder-adjacent restraint rather than a traditional over-the-shoulder harness, so riders should expect a snugger, more exposed fit than on conventional coasters.
Because of the inversions and rapid direction changes, the ride isn’t recommended for guests who are pregnant or have back, neck, or heart conditions — the same standard precautions posted at the ride entrance for most RMC inverting coasters.
What Makes a Single-Rail Coaster Different
Raptor Track, the system underlying Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage, replaces the usual pair of parallel steel rails with a single rail that runs beneath the train. Riders straddle it in individual, motorcycle-style seats rather than sitting side by side, so nothing blocks the view left or right — just open air. That inline seating also lowers the train’s center of gravity, letting Rocky Mountain Construction design tighter, more disorienting transitions between elements than a wider dual-rail train could handle.
The format debuted with Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 2018 and has since become RMC’s signature style for record-chasing thrill coasters, including this ride and its East Coast twin, Jersey Devil Coaster.
Records and How It Compares to Jersey Devil Coaster
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 opened a year earlier and shares nearly the same layout. Jersey Devil stands 130 feet with 3,000 feet of track; Wonder Woman is one foot taller and 300 feet longer, keeping the same 58 mph top speed, 87-degree drop, and three-inversion count. As of this writing, both records still stand — no single-rail coaster has since surpassed Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage in height or length.
The achievement reinforced Six Flags Magic Mountain’s long-standing reputation as a destination for record-breaking thrill rides and marked a significant expansion of DC-themed experiences at the park, 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.
Front Row vs. Back Row: Which Seat to Pick
Seat choice changes the ride noticeably. The front row gives the clearest, most unobstructed view over the first drop and the strongest floating airtime moments on the smaller hills, since the rest of the train hasn’t yet crested behind you. The back row whips through the same elements with extra force and sustained “ejector” airtime as the train’s rear cars are pulled faster over each crest — a more violent, seat-gripping ride overall. Riders who prioritize visuals and pacing tend to favor the front; riders chasing raw intensity typically ask for the back.
Location and Theming in DC Universe
Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage sits in the DC Universe section of Six Flags Magic Mountain, on the footprint once occupied by Green Lantern: First Flight. The queue and station draw on Wonder Woman’s comic-book origins on the island of Themyscira, using Greek column architecture, warm stone textures, and Amazonian imagery — a departure from the industrial steel look of most of the park’s other coasters, and one of the more heavily themed queues Magic Mountain has built for a steel thrill ride.
