As with the original, the ride ends with a large splash propelled around and onto the boats and the nearby spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/parktimes.com\/sections\/modern\/aquaman\/Aquaman04_small.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/parktimes.com\/sections\/modern\/aquaman\/Aquaman04_small.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Concept Art of Six Flags over Texas Aquaman: Power Wave.<br> <em>Credits: Six Flags Over Texas PR Photograph<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The propulsion of the boats is generated with magnets.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> It is the first coaster of its time in North American and is being constructed at this time.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/parktimes.com\/sections\/modern\/aquaman\/Aquaman07_small.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/parktimes.com\/sections\/modern\/aquaman\/Aquaman07_small.jpg\" alt=\"Six Flags Overt Texas Aquaman Power Wave Boat\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Concept art of ride unit to be installed on Six Flags Over Texas Aquaman:Power Wave.<br> <em>Credits: Six Flags Over Texas PR Photograph<\/em> <br>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquaman: Power Wave is set to open at Six Flags Over Texas for the 2020 season.&nbsp; The ride replaces &#8220;AquamanL Splashdown&#8221;.
