Very true- think about the Setpoint suspended coasters as well as the steeplechase type coasters. Also, this particular coaster came to mind when I thought about the above statement: https://rcdb.com/1988.htm#p=7223

False Advertisement anyone?

^Well, there are none in the US, and no international park is going to call them out on their bluff, so they'll probably get away with it.

None in the US you say?  What about Pteranodon Flyers at Islands of Adventure?  But I think your correct in saying IOA will not call them out as i dont think they care nor should they.

I mean, I get it, but then again, it is the first single-rail coaster from RMC... (but I guess saying that would confuse people?)

And also, most people don't know about that coaster in Russia...

EDIT: Whatever the case may be, it does look like a great ride, and I think that's (mainly) all that matters  

EDIT2: Also, I found a better picture of those Pax single rail coasters that reside(d) in Russia: https://rcdb.com/4218.htm#p=73825

They could just change the wording to say "World's first of it's kind single rail coaster" then it'd be technically correct.

Speaking of single rail coasters this one looks quite fun.

Let's sue Six Flags! Considering some fanboys haven't done it yet

I wish they would use that huge cliff as a terrain element instead of just throwing a parking lot layout into that very original space.

I think since it's a prototype ride, putting it on terrain might have not been what either the park or RMC wanted.

Jeffrey Siebert the GM of Fiesta Texas posted this comment on a friends page talking about it being the first single rail coaster:  

Quote

that's why we are marketing Wonder Woman as the World's First Single Rail Roller Coaster of Its Kind! No doubt the most action-packed Single Rail roller coaster ever!

^But that quote is then him admitting that there have been some before this, thus, he just made his claim obsolete.  He's contracting himself in his own post.

EDIT: It does say in the press release 'first of its kind', so I guess I'll cut them some slack.

They could have said "first of its kind single rail coaster" initially and they wouldn't have been wrong. Now it just makes their marketing team look like they're liers. I never understood Six Flags' marketing team
