Green Lantern: First Flight (roller coaster)

Green Lantern: First Flight was a steel roller coaster formerly located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, United States.

As a result of extended closures and limited park operation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Vipère's opening was indefinitely delayed.

[3] According to the press release, it was scheduled to be built in a "newly themed section" of the park, later revealed as DC Universe in place of Gotham City Backlot.

[11] In addition to Green Lantern's premiere on July 1, other rides in the DC Universe themed area made their debut as well, including The Flash: Speed Force, and Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth.

This, however, resulted in unnatural, painful and shaky movements which caused the ride to receive negative reviews from those who experienced the coaster.

[1] After a fatal incident on Inferno at Terra Mítica in Benidorm, Spain on July 7, 2014,[13][14] and because the two rides share several similarities, Six Flags Magic Mountain had ceased running Green Lantern: First Flight pending investigation findings from the European park.

[16] Green Lantern's loading station left behind was reused in 2022 for its replacement roller coaster, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage.

Six Flags had begun taking steps to improve its financial standing by deferring capital projects during the pandemic.

[24] Green Lantern: First Flight was an Intamin ZacSpin roller coaster where riders zigzagged along a 825-foot (251 m) track at speeds of up to 37 miles per hour (60 km/h).
