Six Flags Magic Mountain, formerly known simply as Magic Mountain, is a 262-acre (106 ha) amusement park located in Valencia, California, 35 miles (56 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles. It opened on May 29, 1971, as a development of the Newhall Land and Farming Company and Sea World Inc. In 1979, Six Flags purchased the park and added the name "Six Flags" to the park's name. With 20 roller coasters, Six Flags Magic Mountain holds the world record for most roller coasters in an amusement park. It became the first amusement park to offer 20 roller coasters on July 16th, 2022.  In 2017, the park had an estimated 3.3 million visitors, ranking it sixteenth in attendance in North America.

Wonder Woman Flight of Courage is a Rocky Mountain Construction roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. The roller coaster opened on July 16, 2022, as the world's longest and tallest single-rail roller coaster. It features three inversions and is located in the DC Universe area of the park, which was expanded and remodeled to include a new restaurant and bar, as well as retail locations featuring exclusive DC Comics merchandise. The ride has also a 87-degree first drop. 

On October 21, 2021, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage was announced by Six Flags Magic Mountain, along with the opening year of 2022. The roller coaster is located at the former site of two attractions; Green Lantern: First Flight and Tidal Wave. The new ride also reuses the former Green Lantern: First Flight station. Construction of the attraction had begun two months before the announcement in August 2021 with land clearing. Track pieces had already arrived around the same time.
