Pretty radical flying coaster. You get a super big head rush at the first loop and it can be pretty crazy. The line is usually super long, but for good reason. Def a must do if you plan on visiting the park. Its right at the front and you can see it from the parking lot!

This coaster offers a truly unique experience with its flying position, making you feel like you’re soaring through the sky just like Superman. The pretzel loop is an absolute highlight, giving you a thrilling mix of intense G-forces and smooth inversions. The whole ride is incredibly smooth and exhilarating, offering a perfect blend of speed and sensation of flight. The theming adds to the excitement, making you feel like a true superhero. It’s a standout attraction and a must-ride for anyone seeking an unforgettable coaster experience!

This B&M flying coaster is super smooth and has one of the more powerful pretzel loops of all the similar models. The forces really slam your back into the restraint. It’s pure bliss!! The color scheme looks great and the grass under the coaster is kept nice. The pretzel loop is really the highlight of the ride. You don’t really get many other cool elements but it’s definitely worth it for just the loop.

Superman is my favorite ride at six flags! It’s uniqueness of sitting face down is nothing to panic about and it makes the ride very fun. The ride is very smooth with lots of twist and loops. Even if you are scared I highly recommend this ride for it is the best ride in the park!!

As roller coasters go, you could do a whole lot worse than Superman. The "flying" sensation is a trip -- the pretzel loop inversion produces some gnarly G-forces -- but the layout is short and the ankle restraints (holding your legs in) are cumbersome. Unfortunately, the line can get upwards of 45-60min due to the ride's location near the front gates of the park and lengthy boarding process. This replaced the massive 7-looper Shockwave in 2003.
