Supergirl Thrill Ride Opening at Six Flags St. Louis in 2019
by Neil Cole
Six Flags St. Louis, The Coaster Capital of Missouri, today announced a breathtaking, new thrill coming in 2019. Guests will take an adrenaline-charged flight on the new SUPERGIRL attraction as they soar nearly 7-stories through the sky in open-air vehicles. Drawing on DC Super Hero Supergirl’s powers of stamina and strength, thrill seekers spin and tilt while suspended from the massive whirling wheel. The ride is raised into the air by a giant arm as riders are launched into a high-speed spin, feet dangling…round and round…higher and higher.
“Six Flags consistently delivers innovative, new experiences for our guests each year,” said Park President Phil Liggett. “SUPERGIRL puts a unique, state-of-the-art spin on a classic ride experience and will be a heroic addition to the park’s outstanding lineup of thrilling rides and attractions.”
SUPERGIRL heroic highlights:
Guests fly in open air seats with feet dangling; Super-sized wheel begins to spin horizontally, then a giant arm lifts and tilts the wheel to a vertical position as the high-speed rotations continue throughout; and 24 riders will repeatedly reach maximum spinning height of 67-feet in the air.
SUPERGIRL is scheduled to land at Six Flags St. Louis spring 2019 and looking to recruit fliers 48” and up.
