Wow, I'm suprised it's already testing! And, as everybody has said, this is the highest it's been in a long time! I'm exited to see the ride once it finally opens.
@1ynnf LOL exactly :D The launch backwards is suchh a big step.. AND SPIRALS TAKE BUTTERFLIES AWAY !? no wayyy >.< Wow... 6.5 seconds of butterflies is TOO much for me HAHAH !!
@19bootsy68 It is not in L.A., nor is it in the same county as LA. If you go on the website, it says it's in LA. The reason this park is said to be in LA is because it is the closest major city. The park is exactly 32 Miles from downtown LA. Take the I-5 NORTH from anywhere in LA area and you will get there (There is a giant Six Flags Gift Shop sign to the right, the park is on the left. You can't miss it, theres Superman and Skytower looming right there). The city it is in is Valencia, CA.
@Psyclonechoaskid Oh wow thanx I didnt know that. I always wondered that >.< So technically, the only roller coaster taller than this is Kingda Ka. yay.
Keep in mind that the ride is TESTING!!!!!!!!!! During testing, the run the ride through all kinds of speed ranges, E-stops, ect. ect. When the ride was first testing way back in 1997 it went this high, often times they ran it all the way up to the brake run at the top of the hill, again FOR TESTING!!!!!!!!!
The difference is that your actually going to be traveling at 104 mph vs. 100, and as soon as you take off backwards your body gets pulled frontwards as your getting pulled backwards with so much G force that once you start going up the "L" - Shaped superstructure, it feels like you’re about to come off the train tracks and you start to panic because the sensation is unlike any other ride at Six Flags. Don't take my word for it, go ride it and see for yourself..
@XxjceeT6xX Yeah, but this shoots u backwards! That alone makes it super intense. Plus it doesn't spiral drop, a spiral drop takes away the butterflies and everything fun about a giant drop. This? Straight up, STRAGIHT DOWN.
@GoldenMindStudios If you really want to know how tall it is, know that the first Yellow Block above the curve is around 200ft High and Goliath is 235 Ft tall. Superman- 415 feet O.O
the Aus one is nothing like this one, it reaches the top, goes over and keeps going, they're two totally different rides with very similar names, the movieworld ride is just called Superman Escape. do your research before you type please

@1ynnf LOL exactly :D The launch backwards is suchh a big step.. AND SPIRALS TAKE BUTTERFLIES AWAY !? no wayyy >.< Wow... 6.5 seconds of butterflies is TOO much for me HAHAH !!
Fast Launch.. even BIGGER drop*this time facing forward ;)* ... AHHH !! shit ha. Can't waittttt
@XxjceeT6xX , I can't, being right next to Cedar Point and Kings Island would be too hard to move away from! :)
@kaboda317 LOL.. OHH ! two of the best theme parks in the world !!! :D you have ur own six flags ;)
Wow. The car actually stayed from the beginning of the curve to the top of the spike for almost 12 seconds. FUCK!!!!
Better than Top Thrill Dragster thats for sure.
Looks like I gotta fly to Cali this year...
Looks like a giant physics test can't wait

Dude, it's in L.A. County, and the reason it's part of Los Angeles is because thats the main market that it serves.......DAMN YOU IGNORANT!!!!

Weird to see and hear it go without people on it screaming.
@XxjceeT6xX Lol thats true. I always get that scared feeling that my eyelids will go back into my head. xD
@kaboda317 Move to Cali instead ! Ha. Best thing about living here is the amazing theme parks :D
@DarkJak2050 true.. they run it at 104mph so it will reach the top .

YESSSS! I can't freakin wait! It actually goes all the way to the top
IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT TO THE TOP NOW!!!!!!

WOW so high up, so exciting!
@GoldenMindStudios If you really want to know how tall it is, know that the first Yellow Block above the curve is around 200ft High and
Goliath is 235 Ft tall.
Superman- 415 feet O.O
COPYING THE TOWER OF TERROR (DREAMWORLD)
us Aussies came up with this idea years ago!
Although it is sooo much fun :D
it's the same model by the same manufacturer
both of the parks just happened to buy the same one
@Mrdpad95 yeeeep!!!

@1ynnf LOL it's funnn but 6.5 sec is like O.O for my eyes ! :P LOL
@NintendoWDS That makes senxe, thanks

@lilmissbrowneyez14 it is that one but they repainted it and now instead of going forwards you go backwards
Can't Wait To Ride This Bad Boy
@lilmissbrowneyez14 this is it, they redid it
Did you guys notice how much higher Superman EFK is that Goliath?
@1ynnf I like the feeling.. but i hate it when its too muxh ha
@Psyclonechoaskid oh ok haha.
@XxjceeT6xX I cant fit in some rides cuz im too tall. Like on goliath, im practically standing! xD
Too bad it doesn't go up that high anymore.
Now it does, the recently fixed the launch system and changed one side toward!
at least sfmm and intamin did something right for once; make it go further towards the top
the Aus one is nothing like this one, it reaches the top, goes over and keeps going, they're two totally different rides with very similar names, the movieworld ride is just called Superman Escape. do your research before you type please
@1ynnf It's kind of similarr.. xD
@XxjceeT6xX Butterflies make it a funner ride.....are you trying to be sarcastic. O.O
thats some weird sarcasm bro.
@1ynnf Oh wow !! xD .. Oh, well. atleast ur not TOO tall ha
Soo, wheres the old superman ride ???
@XxjceeT6xX Im 6 feet but my legs are pretty long comapred to my upper body. lol.
@1ynnf HAHA whatt !?? no wayy xD How tall areee you ??
