Opening this Saturday, July 14th, Harley Quinn Spinsanity is sure to give visitors to Six Flags Over Texas a thrill unlike any that can be found in the Southern U.S.  Standing an impressive 70 feet tall, the giant thrill ride closely resembles a gyroscope that rotates on three different axes with riders in the center of the action.

Harley Quinn Spinsanity is the second ride of this type to open in North America this year, with the first having opened a few weeks ago at sister park Six Flags Great Adventure.  The ride is known for its "unpredictable, gravity-defying flips, twists and turns."  At Six Flags Over Texas, the new attraction is located inside the Gotham City themed section, along side rides themed to other characters such as The Joker, Catwoman and The Riddler.

“As the company’s flagship park, Six Flags Over Texas is home to a long list of industry firsts and we are thrilled to unveil our newest innovation,” said Park President, Steve Martindale. “Harley Quinn Spinsanity is like no other ride we have ever built, and our guests are going to be amazed by the height, the size and the incredible features of this attraction. We take great pride in continuing our legacy of one-of-a-kind thrills for all ages.”

The attraction's triple box design features a gondola with 24 riders at its center, seated back to back in two long rows.  Shoulder harnesses secure riders in place with their feet freely dangling below them.  The ride's movement along three axes creates the ability to rotate forward, backward and sideways simultaneously, resulting in a dizzying effect.  As if the ride doesn't garner enough attention on its own, it features a brilliant light package that will make it the center of Gotham City once the sun goes down.
