    Texas amusement park unveils plans for first-ever Wonder Woman roller coaster

    Batman and Superman are teaming up with a new ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The San Antonio amusement park recently revealed plans to open the first-ever Wonder Woman roller coaster in 2018, completing the "DC Super Hero Trilogy of Rides."

    Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster is introducing a lot of firsts to Fiesta Texas. Not only will it be the only Wonder Woman-themed attraction the world, but it is also the first roller coaster to use a single I-beam rail.

    "Six Flags continues to lead the industry in introducing innovative coasters, rides, and attractions, and Fiesta Texas boasts a number of technological firsts," Six Flags Fiesta Texas president Jeffrey Siebert says in a release. "Continuing that tradition, Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster joins her fellow DC super heroes as the first-ever single rail streamline designed coaster."

    Thrill seekers will ride in a single-file line on the coaster, which boasts a 90-degree drop, a zero-gravity roll, an uphill spiral, a 180-degree stall, and more. The ride will explore Wonder Woman's origins on the fictional island of Themyscira, home of the Amazons, so expect a lot of tropical greenery and Greek architecture.

    Ready to ride? You'll have to wait — but not too long. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster is expected to start rolling in spring 2018.

    Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster is coming to Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

    cut the travel time

    Ladybird Jet air shuttle launches flights from Houston to Fredericksburg

    Hop on board from Houston to the Hill Country.

    Houstonians now have a new way to travel to the Hill Country without spending hours in the car. Regional air shuttle service Ladybird Jet has launched a new route connecting passengers from Houston to Fredericksburg.

    Texas-born Ladybird Jet is a membership-based charter flight broker providing a fleet of semi-private flights addressing "a growing gap in regional executive travel across Texas," per a release. Rather than spending hours in traffic traveling hundreds of miles by car, Ladybird Jet promises short flights without arduous security lines or baggage claim delays.

    "Executives in Texas are losing half their day just getting to a meeting," said founder Devon Perry. "I built Ladybird Jet because I saw firsthand how broken regional travel was — and I knew Texas deserved better than choosing between a six-hour drive and a commercial airline odyssey."

    The new Houston-to-Fredericksburg route operates out of West Houston Airport (IWS) and flies into Gillespie County Airport (T82). The flight cuts down an approximate nine-hour round trip down to just "a short flight," according to Perry, and passengers only need to arrive 15 minutes before departure.

    "Houston professionals love Fredericksburg — the wine, the food, the Hill Country," Perry said. "But a nine-hour round-trip drive turns a relaxing getaway into an endurance test. We eliminate that. You land, and your weekend starts immediately."

    Flights departing Houston will operate on Thursdays at 5 pm, and returning flights will take place on Sundays at 6 pm. That allows plenty of time to explore the Hill Country's wineries, restaurants, hotels, and the relaxing scenery. The planes can accommodate eight passengers, and round-trip fare costs $1,697 per seat.

    Ladybird Jet also operates a route from Fredericksburg to Dallas, if ritzy Houstonians want to save time and travel luxuriously throughout all three cities.

    Flight memberships start at $500 a month, with three different tiers available depending on travel needs.
