The park posted a video on their twitter about the construction wall (in the style of a Gotham City "news report"). Nothing really new, but it pretty much confirmed that it will be a DC villain themed ride in case anyone wasn't already convinced.

 

Didn't the park file for the name Harley Quinn Spinsanity or something like that?

Why isn't a beer a snack option on the dining plan? There are other things at that price point and the mark up on alcohol is the most. And, once you have one, you are likely to buy another.

 

Dining plan beer. That would rival the Superman restroom announcement.

With alcohol, my gut instinct is that local laws don't permit it. But even if that isn't the case here (zero familiarity with Price George County law), then the fact that people are willing to shell out $11 for a beer regardless means they don't have to work too hard to sell it.

I'm surprised that one post didn't come about not announcing the ride before the site does.

HARLEY QUINN SPINSANITY Brings Extreme Adrenaline Rush

 

 

UPPER MARLBORO, MD — August 29, 2019 — Six Flags America, DC’s Thrill Capital, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, today announced its newest attraction —Harley Quinn Spinsanity —will make its debut in 2020. The oversized giant pendulum ride named after the iconic DC Super Villain Harley Quinn, promises to deliver epic high-flying excitement as it spins and swings to breathtaking heights.

 

“Six Flags takes pride in delivering innovative, new, groundbreaking attractions every season,” said Park President Rick Howarth. “Our thrill-seeking guests will love this next-generation ride that offers a jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind experience. Harley Quinn Spinsanity will be the tallest, fastest and most extreme pendulum ride in all of DC, Maryland and Virginia combined.”

 

The towering, impressive giant disc will reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour as it whips back and forth going higher and higher while constantly spinning, giving riders an exhilarating riding experience. Members and Season Pass Holders will have the first opportunity to ride it when it opens for the 2020 season.

 

Harley Quinn Spinsanity highlights include:

 40 riders will be powered 15 stories in the air at speeds of 70 miles per hour;

 The ride swings back and forth while rotating counterclockwise;

 As guests swing higher and higher, they will experience a feeling of weightlessness at

147 feet in the air before plunging downward from 15 stories; and

 This is the tallest, fastest and most extreme pendulum ride in all of DC, Maryland and

Virginia

 

Harley Quinn Spinsanity will take her rightful villainous place across from THE JOKER’S Jinx and RIDDLE Me This in the park’s GOTHAM CITY section.

[Sportsdude360]

Congratulations!! Down here at SFOT we've been enjoying Riddler Revenge for years now! Trust me, your going to love this!

[coasterbill]

This is easily the best new ride the park has added since 2000. Congrats!

[Brashnir]

Among my favorite types of flat rides. Solid addition for any park that doesn't have one.

[Brashnir]

oops, double post. my bad. please delete.

[alilstronger]

So excited for this. Finally the park gets another decent addition in the flat realm.

[Highridin]

Outstanding addition. Looking forward to area improvements too.

[MisterBrow]

The placement of the ride is going to be great too.

 

Do those type rides usually run during FF or HITP?

[Philrad71]

I've said it before...every park should have this and a Screaming Swing.

 

But that's just me being greedy. lol

 

A great addition for the park for sure.
