How tall is superman at six flags magic mountain

Superman does not use traditional motors or gravity to gain its momentum. From atop the hill, Superman looks far less intimidating, compared to looking up at it from the base of the tower. This ride has forever changed the skyline of the park, since it is taller than the landmark sky tower and can be seen from virtually anywhere in the park.

Upon your arrival at the summit, you will be invited to enter the Fortress of Solitude , an icy cavern that leads to Superman's much anticipated launch chamber. Inside the cavern, glowing paints and black lights are used to enhance the icy theme of the Fortress. The final room before boarding, teases the riders by allowing them to hear, but not see, what is happening on the loading platform. As the doors swing open Superman's specially designed trains sit fifteen riders in a three, four, four, four configuration.

The front and second rows are the best for unobstructed view, since in either of these rows no one sits directly in front of you.

Riders are held into the cars by one simple restraint, a lap bar, which will hold you in, but keep the majority of your body free to feel all of the sensations this ride creates. The initial acceleration is so incredibly powerful 4. Superman takes only seven seconds to reach it's maximum flight speed of mph, an impressive feat.

But wait there's more Soaring at mph, the trains make their way through the curve and for the sky Riders seated on the outside of the cars get quite an impressive view or scare when they see just how high they really are! But wait Slowly, from a brief stand still, the car reverses directions and begins to freefall backwards, giving riders a weightless experience for six and half seconds!
