  • Superman: The Escape opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain on March 15, 1997, as part of a plan to open the world’s tallest and fastest roller coaster. The ride would launch riders forwards up a 415-foot tall spike, and reach speeds up to 100mph. During the 2011 season, Superman: The Escape received important T.L.C, transforming the ride into Superman: Escape From Krypton. The most significant change was positioning riders to face backward so they now look towards the ground rather than the sky on the vertical track. The whole structure was also repainted to yellow, blue, and red to match signature Superman colors. In recent years, the left track of Superman has been closed due to unexpected reasons and rumors have been speculating left and right.

    The left side Forward & the right side Backwards would be perfect!
    Also, I would re-theme the ride, The side going forward would remain Superman but, The side going backwards I would theme after Bizzaro that way the entire ride has a storyline + adds another DC Supervillain to SFMM line up.

      @@nathancruz9172 I can go further with the concept, The side that goes forward will be themed after Superman & the side that goes backwards can be themed after Bizzaro, Which furthers the theme & creates a storyline for the ride+ adds another DC Supervillain to SFMM line up.
