Power Surge was a shoot-the-chutes water attraction designed by Intamin located at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas that opened with the park on March 14, 1992. In mid-July 2017, park officials announced that it would retire on July 23.[1][2][3] Safety issues were not a factor in removing the ride. The ride closed permanently on July 23, 2017.
On August 3, 2017, it was announced that the ride would be replaced with a new roller coaster named Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster. It was the first single rail coaster built by Rocky Mountain Construction, and opened in May 2018.[4] The support structure and other remnants of Power Surge can still be visible from its successor.[5]
