In September 2021, Skyline Attractions unveiled their new P'Sghetti Bowl children's coaster model, which offered a unique track model fabricated solely through the usage of folded sheet metal and rivets, in contrast to the welding techniques frequently used to manufacture coasters.[3][4]
In November 2022, Six Flags representatives approached Skyline at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Florida, where a pair of dueling P'Sghetti Bowl coasters were purchased.[5] The following month, Six Flags Fiesta Texas took it upon themselves to announce at their that they would receive one of the then-unnamed P'Sghetti Bowl coasters, which would become the world’s first "single-rail family racing roller coaster".[6]
In March of 2023, both Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Six Flags Over Georgia formally announced Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster for the 2023 season.[1][2] The Georgia roller coaster replaced The Joker: Chaos Coaster in the Gotham City section of the park, while the Texas attraction replaced Fender Bender, the park's bumper cars. Both roller coasters will be the first dual-racing roller coaster in their respective states.[7]
