I am also for o reason. Rotfl
Dalaxrky am going on a ride called leviathan and it’s the 9nth tallest roller coster and am scared of rides so am trying to get prepared
Adamstargamer 123 trust me it will be an experience of a lifetime
Ya
Everything after that drop looks fun, but man it's that drop that's really getting to me....
Lindsey P YOOO ME TOO LMAOO

The drop isn’t as bad as it seems, I’ve gone on this ride and the drop only lasts a little. It’s a 202 ft drop but it’s very easy to love.
I was terrified of that drop before I went on the coaster, but if you just hold on and scream, it feels like you are flying.
Same
This goes to show that world records are meaningless when it comes to building and incredible coaster. This is one of the best designed and most thrilling coasters in the world... great drop, tons of airtime, sustained speed, some high positive G moments in the turns. Like, it really has just about everything you could ask for.
And so smooth, no jerking your head back and forth, or jarring bumps.
I've heard it's less smooth nowadays. It was the smoothest coasted ever when it opened
It is I went on it when it was pretty much brand new I sat in the very back. One hell of a ride
@@chrismoser9676ya i just went on it yesterday it is not smooth anymore. Last time i rode it was when it had just been made bizarro. Was very smooth then. Now its really rough. But its getting old, so thats to be expected.
It’s still pretty smooth, only a bit of rattling on the last few airtime hills. It also depends where you sit. The front tends to be smoother imo
Wow that is a spectacular layout. The momentum it keeps throughout is wild
If you say this roller coaster looks dumb or boring trust me try it it will make u feel like u about to fall 😂
Why would this look boring?
I believe that
Thanks for the info. Now I'm more scared but more excited
As a first time rider what advice do you give about the hill
I'm bored I closed my eyes until I felt like I wasn't "falling" anymore. It helped so much! It wasnt a fast drop at all; it started slow down the drop and sped way up by the tunnel. After that, I loved the rest of the ride; just remember to breathe on the drop. Deeeep breaths. Then scream and have fun! :D
I lived in MA when I was a kid and I desperately wanted to go on this ride. I wore my sister’s platform shoes so I could meet the height requirement and get on it. In retrospect that was dumb as hell, but damn did I love that ride.
Man I did the same with my sisters heelies 😂😂
Ya I never did the shoe thing and I’m short for my age I’m 13 finally my family found the time to go and I’m about to ride it for my first time and I’m terrified
@@olljr111 SAME
@ Sam Franz Lmfao no you didn't
@@srivera4339 lmfao your such a troll
Love this ride! First time I rode it, I was thinking it didn't look that bad. But the airtime you get on that first hill, plus there are no bars to hold on to, literally will take your breath away.
it was my first roller coaster ever i didnt know it was the biggest one untill after cause they said that if i survided this i could survive anything, but honestly i thought joker was the worst and batman was my favorite, harley quin and fireball scared me too lmao
@@natashalynn4716 honestly the scariest ones for me were the Harley Quin and Superman, joker wasn’t that bad.
@@IceLion Yes it is but it freaks me out the drops don't get me its going up that first hill and looking down that gets me scared
@@natashalynn4716 it was my first one to I went last Saturday
it will literally take your breathe away if you fall ;)
*rocking myself back and forth*
Me:Its okay, its okay, its just that one big drop and everything else is absolutely fine! ABSOLUTELY OKAY!😥😖😖😖😖😖
I don’t understand that drop is so little compared to other roller coasters
To compare, Hollywood Studios’ Tower of Terror is 198 feet tall. The drop is 202 feet.
The Grammar-Spelling Freak I rode intimidator 305 which as you can guess that drop is 305 feet and it felt like nothing
I think I have Dyslexia I agree six flag rides suck
Anti Vax Mom
Jesus, that is TALL.
Is anyone else watching because they went to this same park
Daniela Singing yessss
I noticed it was literally the same as the one in Massachusetts
Omg yess
Yazmin Chance that’s is the only one In Massachusetts
DD Squad yessss
Fun fact, this coaster broke my fear of all roller coasters. I think I rode it at least 7 times that day.
Would this one be a great first ride of the day? Lol
@@Kitsuekota Back when the park was called Riverside (before Six Flags took over) there was a older coaster called the Cyclone I think. That's more of a beginner's ride. I only went 7 times cuz my friends and I had speed passes.
@@Kitsuekota I went on it for my fourth ride but I would recommend going on it as your first ride because you can just get it over with.
same here, I have vertigo and this is the first ever coaster I rode
I went today front seat and my eyes watered so much
Eric kochiss how old are you
same
For real
That's wind to thank for that.
Yeah I did that too on this ride, big mistake
I rode this yesterday for the first time. The air time is insane. This is my new favorite roller coaster.
Same it's fun not scary
I'm about to ride it today and I'm so excited!!!
My brother knows I’m afraid of heights and big roller coasters, so he’s making me go on all of the big ones at six flags New England this year
Same! It's my #2 as of current. #3 is WiCy, #4 is LRod, and #5 is Steel Force (don't @ me.)
@@lildump4609 ikr
This coaster has the shortest brake run in existence.
Probably two reasons for it:
Its relatively fast but not really that fast, so it bleeds off a ton of speed throughout the ride (there are even trim brakes too) so its not really hauling when it finishes.
You may be used to hyper and gigas going for the three train ops, so many brake runs that you're used to seeing have multiple blocks built in.
@@trackmaster152002 *explains block sections* did this have a problematic coasters episode?
No the riddler does
This video convinced me to go on this ride and I recommend this ride to EVERYONE. If you are scared of the height part sit in the back and while you are going up just look at the lake on the left
River*
Got it look at the water ok my first time is in like 4 days
@@olljr111 how did it go?
I was terrified but would go on again
I rode this for the first time two weeks ago scared of heights my advice sit in car # 8 look at the water as you go up after the first drop ride isn’t so bad would go on it again
I love this ride!!! But keep in mind there is like nothing to hold onto...
Ella Alves but your friends neck😈😈 btw my friend does that to me all the rides we go on
Metafagot RoboBitch Sksksk I can’t scream when I go down this ride because I’m so scared😂 I always find something to hold on otherwise I actually wanna die😂
Ikr it sucks
There’s nothing to hold on too!!
There is for me
This ride is ridiculously fast and the drops are absolutely insane. I have never been on anything like it, and personally i wouldn’t go through it again. But if you’re a thrill seeker, this is a great rollercoaster 10/10. If you can’t handle the pressure, like me, skip it!
First roller coaster I've gone on, it was absolutely terrifying 😭 there's no bars to hold on to so that first drop feels like death.
I felt the same because it was also the first coaster I went on which I went on today and I kept feeling these waves in my stomach maybe it was something to do with the gravity pulling me down but like every time I felt that I got so scared and held on tighter and wished I could get off. I will never go on that ride again but I'm glad I did it. I went on Catwoman's whip three times and it wasn't that scary and I loved it. I had to close my eyes most of superman after the drop way too terrifying. Great ride if you love terrifying roller coasters but not great when it's your first coaster and your scared of heights.
I just pushed my legs against the restraints on the first drop so I wouldn’t feel like I would die
This was the very first coaster I rode that had those new T-Bars I felt like was going to fall right out of the car
There is a bar outside of the car that I always hold on to
That’s why you gotta put your hands up!
Still one of my favorites... Intimidator 305, Millennium Force, Fury 325, Superman 6FNE... they all are in the same boat! ... shout out to wicked cyclone as well! Solid coaster!
Anyone watching this because they are going the next day
Ehh the day after tomorrow lmao
Me lord save me
RumpledRock mee
RumpledRock hah yeah, I’m going Saturday lmao
RumpledRock not me
Dare I say this was Intamin's shining moment. 5 golden tickets, 4 in a row, still smooth after 20 years and an incredible design. Highly recommend back row night rides, they take riding this to the next level!
*Millennium Force enters the chat*
Idk that spaghetti bowl on the back half of Superman is hard to beat!
@@travisvanalst4698 lol what this ride is far better than millennium force
@@travisvanalst4698that ride is just some boring turns and an airtime hill
I sat in the way back and I got so much airtime
So much airtime on this, that my seatbelt actually broke apart!! This ride is AWESOME!
i hate airtime!!!
Bri Asa same I feel like I'm gonna fly out the seat
gplez91 Brolen seat belt 200ft up and 80mph...sounds GREAT!!!
You can sue six flags for your seat belt breaking
Andrea M.
There is a lap bar in addition to the seat belt. The seat belt is just there to ensure the rider is not too large to ride, and has nothing to do with actually restraining the rider. Six Flags could only be sued if the lab bar came undone
10/10. So much variety, loads of airtime, so intense. Restraints are bad but the ride itself is a perfect masterpiece.
i’m watching these for when i go with my friend to prepare myself lol
I’m scared
I went to six flags 2day i was too scared but i am going again next week i think i am ready😭
Just rode this ride today and it just blew me away! My favorite part of the ride was the 1st drop. It was literally incredible! Although when I rode it, there was a little rattle on the ride probably because of it being 18 years old. I also rode Wicked Cyclone, Batman the Dark Knight twice, and The Joker! #sixflagsnewengland #sixflags #intamin #hypercoaster
I feel like whenever I watch videos like these, I get so anxious to ride roller coasters like this
I used to work at a cemetery. We actually buried the guy that fell off this ride in 2004.
Went to Six Flags New England for a trip while at sleepaway camp. I went on this ride five times and I'm showing this to my mom. She doesn't believe that I actually went on this at all, absolutely not 5 times. xD
You haven't felt true fear and terror until your ride this...
Wait New Jersey's Six Flags has El Toro, Kingka da, and Nitro...
oh
But great adventure is my all-time favorite
Didn’t try kingdaka. I tried el toro. It was ok at best. Nitro? Loved it. It’s a milder version of Superman.
@@J1Z06 I thought nitro was way more intense than superman. The helix
Jay Dobbins you are so gp. El Toro is a world class prefab woodie while Nitro is a middle tier B&M Hyper at best.
@@aaronscibelli7078 it ranks top 10 in the GTAs usually. I do prefer diamondback tho, bc it has more theme, and its name means something.
Tips for riding:
RIDE BACK ROW!! RIDE IN THE EVENING OR NIGHT TIME! That is where Superman is at its prime. (I recommend doing a day and night ride, but a night ride is a lot better!)
There are two seats in each row. If you are scared of heights, sit in the right side. This faces the park and the cat walk is right next to you. It will make you feel more enclosed than the left side. If you aren’t scared of heights, but nervous what’s going to happen to you, side left side. This faces the Connecticut river. (Which, from what I heard, usually calms people down.)
If you are underweight/skinny, you’ll have no problem with the restraints.
If you are overweight or muscular: You will have a problem with the restraints. Scooch forward (not too much or the ride operators will tell you to scooch back) cause the ride operators WILL staple you. If you scooch forward, you will have a great time.
For people who are scared/intimated of the ride: don’t be. It’s very smooth, and you won’t be disappointed. I get that you are scared, I was scared too. Tbh being scared on a ride would lead to a better experience. Think of it as a, “Let’s get this over with,” moment.
Superman: The Ride has two trains. One of them has a little rattle (I don’t remember which one, I think it’s the red train?) It’s most noticeable in the second part of the layout.
When Superman enters its first and second helix, you might grey out. (Taller people are more likely to grey out than shorter people)
The waiting time is usually 15 minutes-2 hours NEVER GO ON A HOLIDAY OR WEEKEND. If you see a group of students from a school (they are probably in a school trip), DONT EVER GET IN LINE WITH THEM. Go on another ride. Those types of people think they are above everyone else. Plus they are loud.
Don’t ride when it’s pouring rain, don’t ride when it’s chilly and don’t ride if the operators say only one train is running. (This increases wait times by ALOT)
Finally, don’t set your expectations too high. Remember, it’s not going to be the best coaster in the world. And the chain lift is slow lol. Put your hands up! Letting go of the restraints has to be one of the best feelings ever. 👌
Just rode this. Best roller coaster I’ve ever personally been on
I went on with a friend that is scared of rollercoasters. She was sitting behind me with her boyfriend. Half way up the hill she started screaming that she wanted to get off. She screamed for the entire ride, and when our pic was taken, you could actually see every vein in her face and neck.🤣 That first hill is intense. I go on it every time I go to Six Flags and always question my decision half way up that hill.🤣
I love that guy who says "Alright!" right before the drop 😂
this is at my home six flags park, i’ve been going on rollercoasters since i was 5 (ive always been tall for my age) and when i was i think 7 or 8 i went here and i was to scared to get on superman so my sister who would have been 10 or 11 went on it by herself (my mom was pregnant so she couldn’t) but i finally went back there at 12 years old and i surprised myself by putting my hands up on the drop, i love superman, such a great ride
I was there 14 years ago. Still getting the chills from that drop after watching this video.
What a fun coaster! I remember our high school physics class taking a field trip to Six Flags New England. It was a random weekday in May and the park was pretty empty. My friend and I rode the Superman at least 8 times- front row and back row alternating. Just an awesome day. One underrated aspect of this ride is the amazing view of the Connecticut River on your left as you ascend that first rise.
Wow!! That coaster is incredible!! That first drop!!! Excellent layout of ride... very interesting. Incredible speed.
You need to ride it it’s crazy!
@@mileycamvlogs7111 Yes, I would love to!
9/10 cuz the lap bars SUCK. They almost crushed my thighs and gave me no room to enjoy the airtime. Other than that, pretty fun ride
The lap bars are only like that because Local law said that the old Lap bars were banned
@Natasha McHattan exactly
This ride is so intimidating even just to look at - you have to experience this ride in the front seat! I will wait the extra hour in line!
Rode this even though I was terrified of it. Loved it so much and I'm not even a roller coaster junkie.
Me in 2019: Mind Eraser we remember you.
riddler's revenge: BLUEFACE BABY YEAH YEAH AIGHT
This is still the best POV video for this ride despite being made years ago. Perfectly captures the speed and brute force of this coaster!! Well done 🔥🔥
I remember looking over at the river* while climbing. It’s beutiful
That’s the Connecticut River my friend
@@LordSwift360 lol looks like a lake to me
Yeah me too, but that was more me coping for the oncoming 200 foot drop
It scares the shit out of me because we’re so high up on a roller coaster
I just started working there when six flags bought it from Riverside. I was working on training and testing of the scream tower while they were ripping out the race track to put in this coaster. Still one of my favorites!
i see a massive line for this ride every time, but i've always gotten lucky and have never had to wait for it. the first time i went on it was a rainy day and there was barely anyone at the park so i just went on it over and over again. fun :)
Rode this today for the first time. Absolutely insane. the first drop is such an unreal feeling.
It’s always been a bit scary to see how much speed this thing still has as it approaches the station. That’s major braking with not much space to spare!
The braking system did fail back in 2001, the trains collided
@@zacharyavelino9534 how bad was the damage? I couldn't imagine anyone building a brake run that short today for that reason.
@@Stephenp503 The brakes did partially engage, so the collision only caused minor injuries. The problem was apparently a leaking air hose, which is a bit odd to me (aren't these brakes designed with a dead-man mechanism where they're full on if the power fails entirely?) but that's what the old newspaper article says from when the ride reopened. The hoses were replaced with stronger steel ones.
I think the 2004 fatal accident, where a large man with cerebral palsy who had been insufficiently secured fell out of the ride, also happened right at the end, on the last snappy turn before the brakes. That led to the restraints being redesigned.
This is the good intimin superman. Especially the theming. I go to amusement parks across the country too and by far Superman in Massachusetts is the best I ridden yet.
Ive been terrified of rollercoasters my entire life. Few years back, me and some buddies went to mass and this is the first ride I’ve ever been on. Boy let me tell you, that initial drop is awesome
I rode it twice yesterday, it was incredible! It was one of the best coasters I’ve ever had the fortune of riding.
Rode this ride 18 times
.... your somehow not scared of this 😮 wow props to you
OpTIc Dashawn this ride is not scary at all
OpTIc Dashawn it might be scary at first but understand me everybody loves this ride after the 2nd time
ive been on it at least 100 times
When the first drop happened I actually blacked out 😂 I have a phobia of heights so it was terrifying
I've ridden this years ago! SO MUCH DREAMY EJECTOR! Incredible!!!💯🔥🔥🔥
I rode this when it first opened as Superman Ride of Steel. (and several times since, as Bizzaro, and Superman the Ride). Since the, I know rollercoasters have gotten higher and faster, but this still remains my favorite roller-coaster of all time.
i’m usually the one on the ride hollering “GO FASTER!!!” while you can hear other people going “omg, we’re going to die!!!”
Not me 😂
tahu Tahu meeee tho I always get off saying eh could have been scarier no matter the ride
I'd give it a 8.5. Would be a 9.5 or maybe even a 10 if it didn't have those God awful restraints.
Nathaniel Johnson those damn tbar nutcrackers
I Finally Got On It For The First Time!! I Was Freaking Out For Nothing I Loved It The Dropped Is Not Even Scary!! I Ended Up Going 3 Times That Day
Went on this ride, I'm 12, came off shaking near crying too,
TheRainbowCat I went on it when I was 8 and had a blast.
Srsly?
Avaree I’m 11 rode it 4 times first time I cried bc I was forced but it’s not that bad
Hey at least you defeated Bizarro (look at the station at the end)
JC Gaming I was 10 and was still scared to go on it, IM STILL SCARED
I'm gonna ride this again today!! Cannot wait!!
Damn! This thing looks crazy fast and intense. I love so much that it comes blasting into the brakes at warp speed and stops on a dime, lol.
This ride was amazing when I went yesterday! Makes me want to do it again and again!
Good old Riverside Park! Lol I grew up with Riverside ever summer, those were good times
That design REALLY IS Superman inspired!!
The music is timed all wrong on that ride. They should have timed it so that the main theme after the first section, plays when you drop.
Best way to experience the drop is from the back row. The way everyone in front of you disappears and then it whips you over the crest is unreal. One of my favorite coasters ever
I went on this yesterday it was the best roller coaster of my life
I was literally dying to go on this!!!! Did not disappoint!!!! I felt my stomach come up to my throat on that first drop 😂😂
Super intense ride. Took my nephew on it yesterday and he loved it.
best roller coaster EVER. went a few days ago for the first time and i was waiting in line with my friends and i was TERRIFIED. but i had so much fun. the drop is the best part. the dropping in your stomach is awesome and i screamed my head off the entire ride. if you haven’t been on this ride, you HAVE to try it. best ride hands down. go on batman too. that ones super fun. i went on pretty much all the scary rides after that except for flashback, goliath, and harley quinn. i’m going to try those rides next time i go.
I’m warning you, don’t go on flashback
In six flags great America it isn't like this...they legit flip us vertically to fly like superman
bangtan sonyeonHELP you’re correct. the two coasters are completely different.
bangtan sonyeonHELP l
Same with great Adventure
bangtan sonyeonHELP ARMY
bangtan sonyeonHELP were is that six Flags
The drop was huge, and it was awesome.
This one looks better then the one at six flags magic mountain
The only thing they share is a sort of similar name and the same manufacturer. Other than that, I don't even know how people are able to compare them. Who thinks they look anything similar?
Superman was like The Third Actualy Rollercoaster I ever went on and my god was I not ready it was so terrifying but fun at the same time and can’t describe to you in words on how insane this coaster is
I went one this ride last Saturday.... Damn what an experience.
the new one in nj is amazing!! it holds you facing downwards like super man and it’s so fun!!
It's been there since 2003
I went on this ride four times in one day! I really recommend it!!!
These are the rides I wish Six Flags would still add.
It wasn't until today that I discovered that you can see Connecticut from the top of the lift hill.
This has to be the best POV of Superman. Six Flags New England.
Can't wait for opening day 4/2020.
just rode this yesterday and the airtime is insane
When I went on that ride I closed my eyes THE WHOLE TIME, and it ruined everything. It wasn't scary at all, so moral of the story: don't close ur eyes
Right before the ride starts, with the little area in the corner, and small tracks, it looks like a kiddie coaster until it starts.
I went on this yesterday! It felt like Nitro. Alot of hypers feel the same (probs since I ride in the same seat every time.) Hearing John Williams' magical Superman score is epic! My #2 as of current. When it got to the "Superman Defeats Bizarro" part, I said, "WE DEFEATED BIZARRO!!"
Update: I am Jaja’s doctor, he is still alive please pick him up. He thinks he is Superman now and flew out the window.
Update: Nevermind he dead.
😂
here at the park right now, rode the superman earlier for the first time. I think it was a good start for never have gone on a roller coaster before. Hopefully can do it again before we leave!
From the front view you can see the River good but you can see it better in the back
This ride was much better than the superman in Six Flags America when i rode it
This ride is the best ride in the world! I literally rode this 10 times😄
DABOSSMLGSWAG
DABOSSMLGSWAG was it scary did u almost fall out
A kid in my class was thrown from the ride & killed they covered it up & said he jumped
I rode it in 2010
@@louismichael3571 cap
Nice view of the Connecticut River on the way up. On a different note I remember back in 2004 I rode this with my dad and for whatever reason my 17 year old self felt compelled to flip off the camera on the ride.
The employees were not amused. Nor was my dad 😅😅
Been to the park a number of times. Went on this for the first time a few weeks ago. I hadn't been to any amusement park in about 5 years and this was the first ride we did. It was fun as hell, but I was hyperventilating when we stopped cuz I went into a bit of shock.
Watching these make me feel like I'm actually on the ride.
This ride flung my son Jaja off the ride. Overall fun, would recommend.
UPDATE: My son Jaja is dead, would still recommend.
A small sacrifice for some fun
Awesome ride, favorite at six flags New England
This looks sick
IT IS BRO ITS SO FUCKING FUN
This was my very first roller coaster ride, on my 13th birthday in 2000. 😁
*coaster drops first time*
“YEEHAWW”
Me: "*_I AM JESUS! I AM JESUS!!_*"
Rate it a 10/10 for a hyper coaster. One of the best steel coasters I have ridden Restraints suck, it is definitely an overrated hyper coaster. I still get great airtime, it maintains a good speed and it's a fantastic layout. I never get tired of that thing.
Avery Heaney TV this ride sucks it CRUSHES my thighs, the drop is basically non existent, and has mechanical breakdowns every day I'm there (which isnt often) honestly I don't go to SFNE for Coasters. I go to SFGAd, Dorney Park, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Carowinds,, SFOG, etc
Xtreme Rides TV that's cool but I love superman. This is my opinion
Avery Heaney TV it would be so much better if SFNE would stop ruining their coasters. Otherwise, this coaster would be great! Better than millennium if it wasn't for the thighcrush restraints and the forceless drop, but other than that it's great
Xtreme Rides TV is superman still in your top 10 though?
Avery Heaney for now superman is like number 9
Love that ride. It was my first full size coaster. It was so fun. I miss it.
If I was on that ride, I would scream and swearing in greek 'cause, nobody would undersand me.
I'd be screaming "I AM JESUS!" like the Nostalgia Critic on the drop.
My friend could understand you
That takes guts to trust yourself to not drop your phone on this roller coaster! Especially that first drop!
I went on this,most petrifieing thing ever,watching this gives me chills
