Six Flags Great Adventure's Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth Ready to Rise

After a cold winter (which may not be over quite yet...), Six Flags Great Adventure is getting ready to rise Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth at the theme park.  Work has continued on the footings for the mega-attraction throughout the cold months, and now as we see in these photos from the park, ride parts have arrived on site.  That means that they'll soon be stood up to support the massive swinging pendulum ride.

Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth will feature a bright color scheme of red, blue, white and gold, all the colors of Wonder Woman herself.  The ride will be one of the tallest pendulum rides in the world when it opens later this year, swinging riders to a maximum height of 172 feet in the air.

These massive footers will support the ride, which will be located right at the entrance to the Metropolis themed part of the park.  The ride will swing to dizzying heights on the same spot that the park's Freefall once stood.  Once up and operating Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth will seat 40 riders per cycle in a giant circle on the base of the pendulum, and in addition to hitting over 17 stories in the air, the riders will hit speeds of 75 miles per hour.
