Six Flags over Texas announced today that the much-delayed Aquaman: Power Wave water ride will be opening for the park’s spring break event on March 11, 2023.

“Six Flags Over Texas is known for providing innovative thrills and delivering the special moments that create fond family memories,” said Six Flags Over Texas Park President Richard Douaihy. “We are so excited to introduce AQUAMAN: Power Wave to legions of thrill seekers, and we feel that Spring Break is the perfect time for the grand opening of this epic new attraction,” added Douaihy.

Six Flags is claiming the innovative water ride as the park’s 14th roller coaster in a move sure to have coaster and theme park enthusiasts arguing about the classification for the foreseeable future. Aquaman was originally slated to open in 2020 but was delayed several times due to Covid and other factors.

  • More than 700 feet of track;
