The current summer season is winding down but at least one area attraction is already looking forward to next year. Six Flags Great Adventure has taken the wraps off what it calls the world's tallest pendulum ride and it will be based on a popular comic book super hero.
Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth will premiere in 2019 towering at a staggering 17 stories tall. In a press release from the Jackson Township, New Jersey theme park, the spinning disk ride will reach speeds of 75 miles per hour as it spins and swings to breathtaking heights.
The DC Comics icon is expected to debut in late spring 2019 and will be located new fellow DC Comics-branded rides such as Batman: The Ride, The Dark Knight, Justice League and the Cyborg Cyber Spin which arrived on the scene this year.

at 172 feet in the air. Floorless seats will leave riders' feet dangling as they whirl through the air over the Jackson Township theme park.

This is not the first entree into the theme park attraction business for the female comic book character. Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth is a widely popular ride at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. The New Jersey version of the ride will be taller than its West Coast counterpart.
The ride marks an ongoing partnership between Six Flags Great Adventure with Warner Brothers Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment.
