The ride is an Intamin 'ZacSpin' and is the first of its kind in the United States.HistoryGreen Lantern: First Flight was officially announced on October 20, 2010, six days after a video was leaked announcing several new experiences for Six Flags Magic Mountain in 2011. On February 4, 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported the track for Green Lantern: First Flight had arrived on site at Six Flags Magic Mountain. In early May 2011, the park closed down the area that will feature Green Lantern, Gotham City Backlot, and the rides located in the section, so they can retheme the theme area to DC Universe and also to focus on building the coaster.
