The American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Con 41 at Six Flags America, Upper Marlboro, MD

After the games (we wouldn't find out who won medals until two days later at Kings Dominion) it was time for a totally terrifying ride on Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth. I don't get the name as the "Lasso of Truth" doesn't scream Star Flyer; which is what the ride model is known by, but hey I guess Six Flags figures they might as well name something after Wonder Woman since they have the rights to the DC characters for the next eighty years or so.

Coaster Con is full of a lot of special extras including this ride. Instead of spinning we were slowly raised to the top of Wonder Woman in the rides "maintenance mode" which left us just slowly swaying there in the wind as the swing inched further away from the ground. We were allowed to bring along cameras (hence the no spinning) and allowed to snap as many photos as we wanted.

I have to say that I am really proud of Todd because back in 2010 we had to force him onto the Eifel Tower at Kings Dominion as he is terrified of heights. Fast forward eight years and here he is swinging in the wind with a couple of hundred feet of air beneath his feet and he isn't freaking out.

One can get a wonderful view of the twisted tangle of track that is Jokers Jinx as you slowly rise into the sky on Wonder Woman.

Jokers Jinx is a Premiere launched coaster that opened in 1999 which was the year when Adventure World became Six Flags America.
