Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Superman: Escape from Krypton (Six Flags Magic Mountain) broke world records for height and speed at its 1997 opening, when it was originally branded as Superman: The Escape. The Intamin coaster opened alongside Dreamworld’s Tower of Terror II and debuted the revolutionary new Linear Synchronous Motor launch technology, which allowed it to reach a maximum launch speed of 100 miles per hour within seven seconds. Riders experience gravitational forces up to 4.5Gs during the ride’s backward launch before ascending a 415-foot hill at a 90-degree angle. During the ride’s ascent and 328-foot drop, riders achieve 6.5 seconds of weightlessness. In 2012, the Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom twin drop towers were added to the side of the ride’s hill.
