Six Flags St. Louis, The Coaster Capital of Missouri, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC, announces the addition of Catwoman Whip to the park’s thrill lineup in 2020.

“The new Catwoman Whip brings yet another innovative and exhilarating attraction to Six Flags St. Louis in 2020,” said Park President Phil Liggett. “This new ride is the first in the park’s history to combine height, speed and dual motion to deliver the kind of adrenaline-charged rush our guests, Members and Season Pass Holders have come to expect and that only Six Flags can deliver.”

Catwoman Whip facts:

• Sixteen guests, eight on each end, are seated four across and back to back, in open-air pods with feet dangling;
• The giant arm catapults guests up 164-feet in the air and then plummets back down toward the ground only to complete the rotation again and again, and;
• As the massive arm whips around at up to 52 mph, the pods flip upside down with each rotation.
