- At 400ft and 85mph, Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom at Six Flags Magic Mountain is the worlds tallest and fastest freefall drop ride! This B-roll footage shows the ride from multiple angles - how awesome does it look? The drop towers are attached to both sides of the Superman: Escape from Krypton roller coaster. Are you brave enough to take this on?
Six Flags Magic Mountain is located north of Los Angeles in Valencia, California.

Absolutely brilliant idea to add this ride to the tower and themeing it with superman. Genius. The free fall looks like a major rush.
This is the only ride in the park that I refuse to go on. That and the giant slingshot thingy, but I don't really count that as a ride anyway. I'm not sure what I'd hate worse, the feeling of falling for that long or the gut-wrenching anticipation of being taken up there slowly wondering when it's gonna stop.
Being lifted is WAY worse than actually being dropped in my opinion. Especially with the six second wait at the very top. I went on this ride and was freaking out more and more the higher we went. But it's really worth it and I'll definitely go on it again.
agreed... Rides don't really scare me much, but this actually got me quite nervous, which is saying a lot. First it pulls you up fast, then it starts lifting even faster once it gets out of the magnetic brakes. And then the suspense. I couldn't believe how long you fall.. It's rather ridiculous... ....and I love it. XD lol. Also, why do I feel the need to comment on a 4 year old comment.. mysteries of humanity and the internet I guess...
This ride is nothing but fun...! Once u get use to it u will ride it all the time.
"Somebody's got a weird scream .... MUAHAHAHA" 3:06
XPortersraygunX no 3:08
Is the laugh
I love how they drop it at the same time as superman falls.
Every time I go on this ride I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack and a seizure all at once, only on the way up - You must embrace the fear and it will be profoundly amazing. The fall is exhilarating, liberating and worth it the moment the ride lets go. Also, Lex Luther speaks right before you drop so there is no guess as to when you'll fall. The best part is the end when all that adrenaline and endorphins from surviving is rushing through your cranium. GO ON IT, I promise you won't regret it.
3:29 look at that tower sway.
I went on this ride never again I hate free fall rides
same here
Same my first time I didn't like it cus i was like 6 but then my dad my bro made me 2 more times and now i think it's coll but I still kinda hate it
Tip: (And this goes for all rides, especially tall ones)
Don't close your eyes! The view is amazing and if you waited in a long line, you might as well enjoy the scenery.
The view of Lex Luthor, at 3:32 where the Lex Gondola is waiting for Superman to make it's acsent up the tower before it drops, and then drops, is just unreal and just sick how high up the ride and tower are. I never thought in my lifetime, anything could ever surpass the Parks Sky Tower, but this view proves otherwise. WoW! What a view of 400 feet. Cant wait to ride this thing.
Getying stuck at the top and having to WALK down ALL those STAIRS
How do you plan on getting on the steps lol?
Lmao I love this comment.
Loving the duelling
Tacking that onto Superman was a brilliant idea...good job Magic Mountain!
thats why i like you when you reply to people. your always nice
it does. I saw on one of the news stations that went for media day that the tower sways about 4-5 feet when the Superman ride is going up the tower. They had no clue it would do that, which is kinda cool xD Unexpected surprise.
This is making me shake because I cried once I got off of it. The view made my palms freaking sweat like crazy!
I got in the ride today!!! Superman and This Ride are the best in the park
Being from New Jersey I am super excited for great adventure building a ride just like this.
Been on this ride soooooooo many times...it never gets boring :-)
3:06 "Superman's got a weird SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAMM!' had me busting a gut!
So just imagine getting stuck have to go down those stairs while superman escape from krypton is going u r right there how scary would that be
Yep.....WRONG place to get stuck when you gotta go to the bathroom.
Sean Lewis if you got stuck at the top I'm pretty sure that bathroom problem would unfortunately be over very quickly 😂
I've been on this thing so many times......fortunately for me so far I never had a leak accident..........probably if an earthquake came that most definitely would be a game changer then!!!
Sean Lewis Just do pee over the edge. The people on the bottom won’t mind right?
if you get stuck im pretty sure it’ll just fall and the automatic breaks will stop u from crashing
LOLOLOL It's hard to tell who's screaming at 3:15 The girl or the guy. ROFL
Lol
lol
They did a really good job making sure Superman and Goliath were timed perfectly for the helicopter footage
awesome im going on tht ride in 2 weeks can't wait thx coaster force
joined coasterforce a few days ago :D
Kind of dreading and wanting this one. On our way in less than a week.
Superman is the coaster type. Drop of doom is the green one on the side. They are both located at 6 flags magic mountain.
It looks really nice when it's synchronised with the other ride.
All Six Flags Parks: So Good, So Good. I love it! Six flags is the best freetime park ever!
regarrds from Germany! :DDD
I'll try both for sure. It would be neat to one day go forwards on Superman again, given I'd like to see how each way feels and seems. Was never on Superman when it was the way it was before. The neat thing about going foward for me, would be seing wheather you can see Lex Luthor riders.
im really afraid of height, put me 50ft below the ground and my legs would shiver. However i don't know how i found the courage to try this ride, being lifted 400ft is WAY worse than 50ft. I was absolutely terrified when it started to lift me and the higher it went the more terrified i felt. It just never seemed to stop going up. But then it finally stopped luckily it only stopped for about 5 seconds more and i would have panicked, i can't imagine being stuck up there for even 5 minutes. I liked it when it dropped down though. To this day i'm proud of myself :D.
the 'Coaster Guy' whom has his own Six Flags Park site, and can be contacted on Facebook, he told me Lex Luthors Gondola from where you drop from, is a whole 150 feet higher than Goliath's Hill and drop. 150 feet may not seem like alot of 400 feet, but it's more than half the hight higher than your 2nd generation free Fall rides.
Superman opened in 1996 but didn't get fixed until 1997 and officially opened. I remember riding free fall an old ride that was about 10 stories tall near riddlers. As I looked at the new 41 story tall tower that was superman, I remember thinking how awesome it would be if that was a freefall ride. Well 15 years later it finally happened with lex Luther. Though I am a bit skeptical on the integrity of the tower, it was originally designed to accommodate the 30 ton cars of superman, and not
Just went on it today, it wasn't that bad at all... lots of fun though. I believe X2 and Tatsu definitely have more g forces than this thing ride. Yeah it's tall, and it looks very-very intimidating, but it's not that bad. Coming back for Frightfest and I can't wait for this ride again.
I went on it with my mom! We share the love of drop towers! SO MUCH FUN!
+Coaster Master they are my favorite! :D
My brother and dad hate them! They say it makes them feel sick! I don't understand what they are talking about.
I'm going to six flags tonight for grad night and I can't wait to go on all the rides !
Kathy Nicole i went on grad night it was really fun
I've been on this twice already and the drop feels like the old Freefall...x4!! My fav ride to end the day at SFMM...especially at night ;)
I had gone on a similar drop tower ride a county fair a few years ago. It was a few hundred feet shorter than this, yet it scared the crap out of me while traveling put the tower. Then I went to SFMM this last August with my sister and rode Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom like it was nothing. (FYI: I enjoyed the heck out of both rides.)
There's one in the UK I've been on that is 'only' 177ft & 54mph and I thought that was bad. If I'm ever in the US, this is going on my list of things to do.
I've been to six flags magic mountain before, while waiting in Line for the riddlers revenge you could literally see the superman tower shaking every Time it be cars go up and down, I can't even imagine it now with a drop ride!
2:47 lol she was smiling :D
This is a great cut!
This video is a beast !!! Totally awesome!!!!
This looks absolutely incredible. I think Cedar Point needs to do something similar with TTD as they're lacking a drop ride.
Power Towers
i've been on this. easily the best ride ever made
I have not been on either Free Fall Drop Tower rides, but from what I know, I'm sure more extreme from a height standpoint. Lex Luthor Drop is around 380 feet. That's nearly identicle, could be Higher or just at the height mark of the Magic Mountain Red/Orange colored Sky Tower which has always been the highest point in the park. The Supreme Scream, not quite that high. Probably 32 or 30 stories.
It's so cool when ur at the top and u can feel the tower swaying!
1:21 my fav part. 😂
oh my god this looks so good! i love this type of ride, but there are no massive ones in the uk
I may never get to ride this,thanks for the video : )
This coaster looks awesome!
Great footage.
I agree with you on Green Lantern. I use to live in Valencia, California but then I moved to FL. An I remember I was like oh dude this is nothing, but then when I went on, I was totally regretting it. An people say the ride hurts, it doesn't hurt at all in my own experience. But Lex Luthor, I don't know if ill be going on that shit when I visit next year. I have never been on a drop ride, so if I went on this with no experience with drop rides, I would probably piss my pants and cry.
lex luther is scarier. That was the first ride I got one yesterday and it was absolutely heart stopping. When me and my friends got off we were shaking and had sea legs. I would definitely recommend lex luthor over superman. Also , the green lantern is ridiculously fun too. It doesnt look that scary but once you get on it your life changes immediately lmao.
I rode this yesterday, one of the scariest rides iv ever ridden
@bamagirl098 it is actually built right on the Superman tower.
thats good to hear, because I think im goona go on it eventhough it looks really scary because i bet it will be my favorite after- is it really as scary as it looks?
@addillikatithang they took him down when they redesigned the Superman ride. Now the cars go up the tower backwards (so there would be no chance of seeing Superman while going up and down the tower).
Your not the only one, he had me in stitches, I was laughing so hard.
The drop is timed to the coaster? Seriously Cool!
Amazing footage.
i wne on this ride last night! you can really feel the drop through your stomach then it goes to your throat. best thrill ride
Best ride i enjoyed it i was quite nervous and you feel such a rush :D
is this what rides r like lets say i ride this and liked it. will the 200ft ones ever be the same,and is it the same way with rollercoasters
Looks so sick! I gotta go sometime.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Not happening. I like my stomach being in the lower part of my body, thank you, I don't need this death trap relocating it to my throat. .
just b/c you don't like it doesn't make it a death trap.
omg i know i hate that feeling. cant do it.
Your car is 10,000 times the death trap this is.
Same
Superman is really loud right? Your ears are probably dying from being right next to it
If i ever rode this one... It would be the side with the cars. Too scared of the dropping straight down side would not ride that part without a cardiac arrest.
So you would ride super man not drop of doom
This ride is built on the superman ride which is the one with the trains. This ride and the superman ride are completely different
Well, there's that, but it's not a true free fall. It uses the compressed air to either launch you upwards or push you down but it still bounces on a cushion of air. It actually slows down as you fall so it's not the same experience as what this ride would be.
Just went on this ride yesterday, SO much fun. Not as scary as it looks..
Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA. Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA.
out of all of the rollar coasters in canada you have riden whats your most favourite
How does the butterflies feel in this ride?
I went on it and it is mostly just a lot of butterflies going up, but going down for me at least, it wasnt that bad because youre kinda focusing on falling 400 feet lmaoo
When you drop you don’t feel anything cause I went on to six flags Great Adventure Safari and I went on Zumanjaro it wasn’t that bad
Clarissasan wait where did you sit on the ride
Jaime Mosquera wait WHERE DID YOU SIT on the ride ? like exactly if you can remember
I think that the B-Roll footage would be GREAT in an IMAX
what´s the orange coaste in the background? looks like Titan or Goliath.
I love drop of doom I get on it all the time I go to six flags its really fun it goes really quick so u go down fast and easy
u sir just earned a subscriber
Looks awesome!
I'm deff brave enough...just 3000 miles away :(
Next year for sure!
Falling at 85 mph, goodness
Do you think coaster force will do a live stream video of this with full throttle?...i loved watching this when it opened
coasterforce do you guys like this better or superman
I went on it yesterday it was like the worst feeling ever going down but it was awsome!
Haha the first time I rode this ride I was so scared I thought I was gonna die but now it's one of my favorites and I ride it all the time I go now lol
Some people want this ride too
Just to let everyone know I went on this ride 4 times in a row it isn't that bad as it seems but it is really fun and it's over before you know t and it's really worth it because the line is never long because everyone is scared but it's really not that bad so GET ON IT
I said something bout they should make a marvel theme park but there is one already it is in universal orlando
yes its Superman Escape from Krypton backwards..it goes backwards at 100 miles per hour!
No the highest one in Europe Is La Venganza del Enigma at Parque Warner Madrid in Spain. It stands 390ft in the air but the drop height is 328ft.
Because it won't happen and Kingda Ka isn't meant to be a drop tower. The ride itself breaks down every year so what would a drop tower do anyways? Break it down even more.
BEST RIDE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite ride of all time
HOLY SHIT I think my stomach fell out my head just watching this.
Do you think I could handle this, I'm 10 and rode Tatsu, X2, Full Throttle, etc. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT FELLS LIKE I'M GONNA DIE BECAUSE I'M REALLY SKINNY
Yes, I have rode a taller one and I am skinny and young
I haven't been on it, but I've been on almost every other ride (not superman sadly), and I heard it's not too bad, you don't even feel the drop.
***** :0
I think so. I rode every ride at Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Magic Mountain and I am not even 12 yet.
Johnny D Rocks What do you want, a metal?
Thanks @ Meetmyacr
This ride must hold the record for highest staircase on a theme park ride :)
I only rode this once and my seat was so loose I was paniking so much qhen we dropped I clutched the harness to my chest my poor self...
You would be dead if it was loose
How does this compare to drop tower scream zone rides? Similar? This looks thrilling? Does it use a magnetic braking system as well?
I've been on this ride before. Awesome!!!
It's even really interesting to watch!
N this has what to do with my statement?!lol, that still don't mean anything because King Da Ka is still the tallest coster (i hear what you are saying about them coping Top Thrill Dragster, n its true). its always a constant struggle for Cider Point to be "The Coaster Capital of the World", and i foresee them taking back the title for having the tallest ride (be it drop ride or coaster).
I went on it and I'm a 11 year old girl. It's actually not too bad during the drop, but it does feel as if you're gonna puke up your stomach. M. Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold, my dad) was perfectly bored on it. The view at the top is very relaxing in my opinion. I don live in that area of California, I'm in Los Angeles, almost 2-3 hours away :( hope you enjoy it!
Palatka need this ride
Twilight, are you talking about the view from Superman or Lex Luthor. Either or, I'm sure you get a great view.
