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 !!
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!!!!!!!!!
@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.
@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 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.
@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.
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

Looks like I gotta fly to Cali this year...
YESSSS! I can't freakin wait! It actually goes all the way to the top
Fast Launch.. even BIGGER drop*this time facing forward ;)* ... AHHH !! shit ha. Can't waittttt
Wow. The car actually stayed from the beginning of the curve to the top of the spike for almost 12 seconds. FUCK!!!!
@XxjceeT6xX , I can't, being right next to Cedar Point and Kings Island would be too hard to move away from! :)

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.
@kaboda317 LOL.. OHH ! two of the best theme parks in the world !!! :D you have ur own six flags ;)
WOW so high up, so exciting!
Did you guys notice how much higher Superman EFK is that Goliath?
@DarkJak2050 true.. they run it at 104mph so it will reach the top .
IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT TO THE TOP NOW!!!!!!
Better than Top Thrill Dragster thats for sure.

@lilmissbrowneyez14 it is that one but they repainted it and now instead of going forwards you go backwards
@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
Can't Wait To Ride This Bad Boy
@NintendoWDS That makes senxe, thanks

@1ynnf I like the feeling.. but i hate it when its too muxh ha
Soo, wheres the old superman ride ???
@1ynnf LOL it's funnn but 6.5 sec is like O.O for my eyes ! :P LOL
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

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
@XxjceeT6xX I cant fit in some rides cuz im too tall. Like on goliath, im practically standing! xD
@Mrdpad95 yeeeep!!!
@Psyclonechoaskid oh ok haha.
at least sfmm and intamin did something right for once; make it go further towards the top
Too bad it doesn't go up that high anymore.
Now it does, the recently fixed the launch system and changed one side toward!
@1ynnf It's kind of similarr.. xD
Doest it go any faster? Did they lower the tower or what? Please respond with answer
@XxjceeT6xX Butterflies make it a funner ride.....are you trying to be sarcastic. O.O
thats some weird sarcasm bro.
@1ynnf HAHA whatt !?? no wayy xD How tall areee you ??
@XxjceeT6xX Im 6 feet but my legs are pretty long comapred to my upper body. lol.
@1ynnf Oh wow !! xD .. Oh, well. atleast ur not TOO tall ha
