Green Lantern is the third roller coaster to occupy this plot of land, following the Sarajevo Bobsled (which ran at Great Adventure from 1984 to 1988 before moving to Six Flags Great America and Great Escape) and the Great American Scream Machine (an Arrow Dynamics looping coaster which had occupied this area from 1989 to 2010). The coaster is the park's second standup coaster the first was a smaller coaster manufactured by Intamin, Shockwave, which operated from 1990 to 1992, and had also been installed at Six Flags Magic Mountain, preceding Riddler's Revenge. that I called the " most anticipated roller coaster of the summer," is the perfect addition to Magic Mountain's record-setting arsenal of now 18 coasters, the most of any amusement park. Green Lantern is Six Flags Great Adventure's fifth Bolliger & Mabillard roller coaster, joining Batman: The Ride, Bizarro, Nitro and Superman: Ultimate Flight. Green Lantern, a first-of-its-kind ride in the U.S. The thematic overhaul of the land also changes the names of the undulating Himalaya-style ride to Flash: Speed Force and the tilting roundup ride to Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth.

Green Lantern: First Flight was a steel roller coaster formerly located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, United States.
