It's the member appreciation event that went on without the ride preview. They probably had to have it since May is ending and June's Member Appreciation Event is early on June 8th.

Lemur Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Rumor is that Wonder Woman is opening FRIDAY for Member & Passholder previews, soft open to the public 5 PM on Saturday. Details are supposed to drop via email later today. This is second-hand information so I take no credit/blame for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbone112499 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I can’t say enough great things about Wonder Woman! I got my first 2 rides in today on a quick visit and not only is it great for filling such a valuable space in the park, but the ride is so intense and an awesome addition to our flat ride collection! GAdv really has a hit on its hands, can’t wait to ride WW again soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyc98 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Anyone know if it has reopened today? Was hoping to get a ride in later this evening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 LOL sure, *just* that there's sticky asphalt. Don't mind the huge crane working on the ride, nothing to see, just a coincidence. What an embarrassment; they can't even get a flat ride to function safely or pave a midway properly. Who knows what corners are being cut on safety elsewhere in the park these days, all to save a buck or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForTheWin44 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth has been experiencing a ton of technical difficulties, to the point where the ride breaks down at least once a day. Before opening they had to replace the motor because it broke, and now Thursday, June 27th, Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth almost collapsed. The motor failed mid course and it caused every support to start violently shaking. They immediately stopped the ride, and put the blue fence for construction back up as soon as they could. They are now replacing the motor once again, making this the 2nd time the motor failed. If this continues, what do you think the future of Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth is? And what will they do to fix it? EADC11E2-28FB-487B-953A-8B352C6E21CA.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 It’s just startup issues. Whether it’s a blown motor or broken lift chain, a lot of rides have a break in period. Nothing major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
