For travelers who thrive at theme parks, Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, announced it will premiere the world's tallest pendulum ride in 2019, dubbed the Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth.
As part of a partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, the Wonder Woman-inspired ride will be 17 stories tall and propel 40 riders in counterclockwise circles as it swings back and forth.
The oversized pendulum-shaped attraction will reach speeds of nearly 75 miles per hour and provide passengers with a feeling of weightlessness at 172 feet in the air. Add in floorless seats that allow the feet of riders to hang free, and it will create a truly unique sensation at Six Flags.
"Innovation is part of the Six Flags DNA and we deliver new, groundbreaking attractions every season," park president John Winkler said in a statement. "Wonder Woman is the most iconic DC Super Hero and we are thrilled to add this action-packed ride bearing her name to our Metropolis themed area."
Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth is expected to debut in the late spring of 2019 and will be located near the popular DC-branded attractions like Batman: The Ride, Cyborg Cyber Spin, Justice League: Battle for Metropolis and The Dark Knight Coaster.
