Superman The Escape At Six Flags Magic Mountain

  • Originally known as Superman: The Escape, the ride was intended to open in 1996. However, due to a range of problems Superman: The Escape opened on March 15, 1997. At the end of July 4 weekend of 2010 Superman: The Escape ceased operations with no reason given. A sign posted in front of the ride indicated that it would reopen during the 2011 season, with hints indicating that there would be improvements made to the ride experience. A Los Angeles Times report on August 3, 2010, announced the plans for Superman: The Escape to undergo a major refurbishment before the 2011 season. After Superman: The Escape's sister ride, the Tower of Terror II at Dreamworld, underwent a major refurbishment in 2010 which entailed a new vehicle which launches backwards, speculation turned to the possibility of a similar modification to the Magic Mountain ride.

    This coaster has always been overrated in my opinion. I remember being terrified as a kid in line for my first ride on this. And that was the most intense part. I remember getting off it and thinking "that's it?". Even now with it launching backwards (which is a dramatic improvement), it still leaves something to be desired.

    • @OakViewFilms
      @OakViewFilms 4 года назад +2

      Having gone to Magic Mountain for over 20 years, I thought this coaster was overrated. Back when it was the "hottest" coaster in America ( right before CP dropped Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster), I was underwhelmed by this ride, thinking it was the definition of "gimmicky" and "One trick pony". Nowadays, nobody gives a shit about this coaster, so it's ironically become underrated as a result.

      I mean, this program out in 2002. It was still pretty new and groundbreaking at the time. Of course in retrospect, it's nothing special, and probably the weakest of the 100+ MPH coasters. But at the time, this was a pretty revolutionary ride.
