Catwoman Whip to Open at Six Flags St. Louis in 2022

One of the announced-a-long-time-ago attractions for the Six Flags parks that will be opening this year is the Catwoman Whip ride at Six Flags St. Louis.  The ride was initially announced to open in 2020, but the pandemic pushed it back and it will now open this season at the park's new attraction.


Up top is some recent concept art for the ride, which is one of Funtime's larger Vomatron installations, the first of which opened at The Great Escape last year as the Adirondack Outlaw.  Catwoman Whip will take passengers up 164 feet as they rotate in a giant circle, with their feet dangling and their car able to flip freely.

It seems that the Catwoman Whip ride has changed locations within Six Flags St. Louis since it was first announced.  Above is the original concept art released when the ride was announced, which placed it on the site of the park's former go-karts and near The Boss.  It now appears as though the ride will be located kind of where the park's former Superman themed freefall tower was, tucked behind the park's boomerang coaster and the Screamin' Eagle wooden coaster.


Regardless of where in the park the Catwoman Whip is built, it's certain to give some high intensity thrills to visitors this year.
