This was a fun ride overall. Great time wasn’t too bad and the ride is really fast. It just goes up and down at a very fast speed but it’s definitely worth doing. I enjoyed it.

It gets a long line and is pretty low capacity. It's a fun ride, very short, but fun. The launch gets pretty fast but it takes forever to get up to speed so it really sucks as the forwards launch. It's actually really great backwards though.

Amazing launch. Everything about this coaster is fun for what it is, even though it may not be a closed-circuit coaster. Going at 100 mph flying backwards (where you fall face-down) or forwards (where you have no clue what is going on and free fall 400 feet backwards) is absolutely incredible for its adrenaline rush. Also, it’s not scary at all; don’t let the stats fool you (a 10 sec ride). The theming is fantastic, and the ride also comes with an air-conditioned station, which is undoubtedly the best in the park.This feels like Superman.

There are two people in this world, the people who praise Superman for being an outstanding coaster, and the people who believe the coaster is just okay and overrated. I believe it is highly overrated. The coaster is great for it's speed and all, but the fact that it is only 17 seconds (if that) just makes it not worth my time. This ride is great if there is no one in line and you can marathon it without waiting in the usual hour long wait, otherwise it's just okay.

Very thrilling! You are launched forwards (sometimes you can go backwards) at 0-100 in approx. 7 seconds up a 415 ft tall tower, but you only usually make it up like 3 quarters of the way. The acceleration is smooth and gradual, but you feel speed increasing every second. Plus the ride has 4.5 positive gs and is quite forceful (not shocked, it's an Intamin). Anyways, Intamin, this reverse free-fall of yours is amazing. I love you guys Intamin:)
