Six Flags Over Texas Quickly Installing New Aquaman: Power Wave Water Coaster

Six Flags Over Texas will debut Aquaman: Power Wave in 2020, North America's first Mack Power Splash attraction. The ride combines a splash boat ride with the launch elements found on modern roller coasters, making for a unique and thrilling experience.

Six Flags Over Texas has been sharing photos of the ride's construction, which just kicked into high gear recently as the parts of the ride were moved to the work site to be installed. That can be seen up top, and also in this video from the park.

Just this week the park has started to show off how much of Aquaman: Power Wave is already installed in a fun interactive image on social media. You can scroll around and take a look at the work site, part of which can be seen above. That end of the track isn't yet complete, but over on the other end...

Things are much bigger! The backside of the ride is starting to tower over the park - this will be the totally vertical side of the U shaped track that the boats launch up. Each of the towers will stand 148 feet tall, though the other will feature a bit of a level-off near the top. The ride launches the boats both forward and backward several times - hitting a top speed of 63 miles per hour which is super fast for a water ride. After the final launch up one of the towers the boats come down to the splash lagoon and naturally a huge wave covers all.

Just as a reminder, here is how Aquaman: Power Wave will look when it is complete. Right now the park is working on the tower on the left of this image, with much of the middle section of track also installed.
