A Villainous Twist
DC Super-Villains Swing, formerly known as Die Fledermaus, is an original attraction that opened with Fiesta Texas in 1992. Geared towards the whole family, riders board their own swings and enjoy a calming journey spinning through the air. In 2009, the attraction left behind part of its German theme and was renamed Whirligig. Die Fledermaus is German for “The Bat.” In 2019, the attraction would embrace the new DC Universe theme to become DC Super-Villains Swing
At night, the attraction features an exciting lighting package.
DC Super-Villains Swing features several DC Comics villains within its theme.
DC Super-Villains Swing was first introduced during the 2019 season.
A Change in Plans
In 2018, the park announced that Whirligig would be refurbished and transformed into Crime Wave to coincide with the addition of The Joker Carnival of Chaos across the pathway. In February 2019, a “change in plans” was announced. Instead of returning as Crime Wave, the attraction was to be renamed DC Super-Villains Swing. Various DC Comics villains line the attraction’s queue, along with decorative panels on the ride itself. Riders board DC Super-Villains Swing and find themselves soaring through the air, accompanied by an exciting music soundtrack.
