High-Price Design
Power Surge was one of the original rides that opened with Fiesta Texas in 1992. This attraction had quite the interesting design to fit perfectly inside Fiesta Texas. Portions of the quarry wall was carved out in order to accommodate the ride’s lift hill and turn to the first drop. A project like this likely added a few dollar signs to the ride's overall construction costs.
Power Surge was demolished in the summer of 2017 to make way for Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster. Supports and other remnants of Power Surge can still be seen when riding Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster.
