![]() ![]() Superman el Último Escape, Six Flags Mexico - Morgan's best work outside of Phantom's Revenge. I like them well enough, but I rode this one at noon in the front row which meant I was blinded for half the ride.ġ. Superman Ultimate Escape at Geauga Lake (ridden as Possessed, Dorney Park): I can't really be bothered with these Intamin impulses.I have no real issue with clones in general, but a clone of a terrain flyer seems to almost be, missing the point? ![]() Superman: Ultimate Flight, SFGAdv: It's amazing what a location can do.Plus, it's sort of nice to see it outside as a crazy mess of track. Superman the Ride, Walibi Holland (ridden as Xpress Platform 13): It may just be Rock n Roller Coaster outdoors, but it's still a solid layout.Plus, I think there's something to be said for the first coaster to push past 100 mph. The launch isn't very forceful, with such a gradual push, but the ascent and descent are very fun with a nice view. Superman Escape from Krypton: A one trick pony but a well done trick.OG's successfully hugs the ground through most of the layout after the pretzel loop which makes it fairly exciting as compared to number 7. Superman: Ultimate Flight, SFOG: Flyers work best either close to the ground or high in the air.It's about as cookie cutter B&M looper layout as they come, but that's not a bad things But also, probably? What is Bizarro but Superman, and what is Superman but Bizarro? Oh ya, the coaster. Bizarro: Should this be included? Probably not.Superman Krypton Coaster, SFFT: Every other Floorless seems to pale in comparison for one simple reason: that quarry wall.Superman the Ride, SFNE: I hate the term "elite" coasters (as if coaster enthusiasts didn't come off snobby enough), but this is the only one on those lists I'd consider to be truly among the best of the best.Either way, here's my list! (Slightly stolen from my comic book ranking thread but with some tweaks) They don't quite have the variety of Superman, but, especially if you include villains, there's enough variety for a good list. This is a super cute idea! I'd love to have a separate topic for Batman coasters as well. It was novel at the time, but ridden a few of these now and I don't love them. Superman Ultimate Flight, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - I think these are not much more than a plus one. Good for what they are, and definitely better than most cloned crap, but don't really light my fire. Superman - Ultimate Flight, Six Flags Great Americaĭon't love 'em, don't hate 'em. Superman - Ultimate Flight, Six Flags Great Adventure brashness and simplicity of it, and it is a pretty sweet experience going up the tower. Superman: Escape from Krypton, Six Flags Magic Mountain - Unique-factor puts this up. It's not particularly uncomfortable either - which usually these old Vekomas are. Superman The Ride (ridden as Xpress: Platform 13), Walibi Holland - The launch is quite fab, and the layout is quite impressive. Ride of Steel, Six Flags Darien Lake - Besides the wacky straightaways, this was pretty decent. The layout is good, and it's only really pipped by the one at SFFT due to the location. Superman / la Atracción de Acero, Parque Warner Madrid - I really liked this. It's setting is stunning, and I love the deviations from the 'cookie-cutter' layouts of B&M's floorless coasters of the era. Superman Krypton Coaster, Six Flags Fiesta Texas - Love this. It does still hold up, but clearly not breaking many top-twenties anymore. Nowadays it feels a bit old-fashioned in it's style, but I do see why it was so 'groundbreaking' back in the day. Superman the Ride (ridden as Bizzaro), Six Flags New England - This was one of those coasters that I sort of understand why it was rated so highly back in the day. Searched RCDB for "superman", let's see what it spits out. ![]()
