Power Surge (water ride)

Power Surge was a shoot-the-chutes water attraction designed by Intamin located at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas that opened with the park on March 14, 1992. In mid-July 2017, park officials announced that it would retire on July 23. Safety issues was not a factor in removing the ride. The ride closed permanently on July 23, 2017. 

On August 3, 2017, it was announced that the ride would be replaced with a new roller coaster named Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster. It is the first single rail coaster built by Rocky Mountain Construction, and opened in March 2018.

The ride was featured in the 1992 movie, Blank Check, where Preston Waters (Brian Bonsall) watches the boat coming down the drop while on the bridge, then gets soaked with his cotton candy by the boat splashing down.
