Rollercoaster rides that are based on superhero characters are nothing new. We’ve seen rides based on the web-slinging movements of Spiderman and the mighty strength of the Hulk. This 2018, Six Flags parks throughout the Us and Mexico will be unveiling two new rides based on two of the coolest characters in DC comic history: Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn. In San Antonio, Texas’ Six Flags Fiesta, Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth will be turned into a gut-twisting ride. Wonder Woman’s Golden Lasso, as it will be called, is going to be the world’s first publicly rideable roller coaster made

Wonder Woman has already been a huge success at the box office and now it looks like the Amazonian princess is getting her own thrill ride at San Antonio's Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The Amusement park has plans to open a Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth roller coaster in 2018! The ride will work it's way around a sizable area:
"...eight-passenger trains will carry riders across a 15.5-inch-wide steel track (which Rocky Mountain Construction has dubbed “IBox”), up 113 feet and down a 100-foot, 90-degree drop. The course also features three inversions and multiple overbanked turns, hitting speeds of 52 miles per hour."
Check out how ridiculous this coaster looks, makes me wish Six Flags: Magic Mountain was the lucky recipient of the Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth coaster:
The president of Six Flags Fiesta Texas, says the ride is expected to be "odd to go upside down on such a tiny track.

Refresh for latest… Here’s a list of theaters confirmed to be showing Sony’s The Interview on Christmas Day after the studio worked with indie chains on a release plan finalized this morning. The venues have a deadline of 6 Pm Pt today to decide whether to run the movie on December 25, as Sony must send theaters the movie hard drives in time to make Christmas Day screenings. Some theaters are booking the film for later in the month or into January, so that deadline isn’t looming as large. As of 4 Pm, more than 200 theaters had signed on.
This is all happening fast so this list will continue to grow. We’re hearing that there are still internal discussions among art houses about whether to add the pic to their schedules, with security and previous commitments among the concerns. Some of the theaters had planned to be dark on Christmas Day,...

This year marked the 16th annual Fiesta Pooch Parade, which is a part of San Antonio's larger Fiesta festival, a citywide celebration that fundraises money for the Alamo City. Which means the Fiesta Pooch Parade has been happening for 16 years and no one bothered to tell us until now. And it's not just a parade: Every year there's a doggie costume contest! That's 16 years worth of costumes we've missed out on! The Firsta Pooch Parade truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Just look at Spanky and Rocky in their Fiesta best (above)! And Bruno and Brandy: All this cuteness is for a good cause too: The Fiesta Pooch Parade is put on by and raises money for Therapy Animals of San...

This week both WWE Main Event and Nxt had quite an interesting showing featuring former champions in action. From the Peeps and Jericholics to the Emmalation of true Bolievers, all fan bases were well represented for the most part. But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, how about we begin with this week’s Main Event from Gamecock country North Charleston, South Carolina.
We open this weeks episode back with a two-man booth as the Miz and Josh Matthews welcome us the show. Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring for his Wednesday night debut against last week’s color commentator extraordinaire Cody Rhodes. Overall, a really good back and forth match as to be expected. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in the booking sheet for Cody Rhodes this week as he takes a loss in the Walls of Jericho.

Eva Longoria has put her marriage split woes behind her to spearhead a second TwitChange charity drive. The actress raised over $500,000 for Haiti relief organizations last year by persuading famous friends to follow fans on Twitter.com in return for donations - and now she's campaigning for more cash.
In a video message posted online, the "Desperate Housewives" star urges fans to "make the world a better place". This year, the actress is raising money for Care, an organization that helps young women globally.
Longoria was also recently named the 2011 grand marshal of the Texas Cavaliers River Parade during San Antonio's Fiesta. Proceeds from the event will go to 40 charities, including her charity Eva's Heroes. The actress "applauds them for taking the tradition and combining it with a philanthropic effort like children's charities."...

Madrid -- Rampant piracy in Spain cost the music, video and film industries some €5.1 billion ($6.28 billion) -- or triple the €1.6 billion ($1.97 billion) earned in sales by those industries -- in the second half of 2009, according to a study released this week.
Spain is responsible for an estimated 20% of worldwide downloads, securing it the dubious distinction of one of the top pirating havens in the world. But until now, the industry has been hard-pressed to quantify the losses.
The study, based on some 6,000 surveys, is to be conducted regularly from now on every six months.
According to Idc consulting firm's study "Observation of pirating and consumption habits of digital content" for Spain's Coalition of Cultural Creators and Industries, 95.6% of the digital music in Spain is downloaded illegally, while film registers some 83.7% illegal downloads and video games 52.3%.
Only 19.7% of the digital books downloaded in Spain in the second half of last year were done so illegally.

Two "American Idol" alums will be hitting Hershey Park Pavilion in Hershey, Pennsylvania this coming summer as Kris Allen has been unraveled as the opening performer for Daughtry. The season 8 champion is set to work up the crowd before the rock band fronted by fellow alum Chris Daughtry takes the stage on August 6.
