This area of the park will feature three reimagined attractions – THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity, a high-speed launch coaster, AQUAMAN Splashdown, a flume ride with a watery plunge, and DC Super-Villains Swing, a spinning attraction within a 360-degree orbit. This area will also include BATMAN The Ride and THE JOKER Free-Fly Coaster.
“Six Flags Great America prides itself on bringing guests new, innovative, and thrilling experiences each season,” said Park President John Krajnak. “DC UNIVERSE is the largest and most exciting park enhancement in recent memory. This newly branded area brings together some of DC’s most iconic Super Heroes and Super-Villains for an exhilarating and immersive experience.”
The land will be located in the former Yankee Harbor section of the park and will offer new dining, shopping, and photo op installations featuring iconic DC characters.
Dining locations include Steelworks Pub, Gotham City Snacks, Central City Snacks, and Captain Cold Ice Cream, and are available for mobile ordering on the Six Flags app when visiting the park. Steelworks Pub will include Dole Whip, Oreo Funnel Cake Sundaes, and Buffalo Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese.
DC UNIVERSE at Six Flags Great America will open to guests Friday, April 15.
