Superman: Escape from Krypton is a steel coaster located at Six Flags Magic Mountain. It's an acceleration ride that shoots riders from the darkness of a cave-like station, up into the air at heights of over 400 feet, and then straight back down again.

It's like several of the other acceleration thrill rides on this list, except that Superman: Escape from Krypton sends its riders hurling out onto the track backwards.

A breathtaking ascent up the track leads to over 6 seconds of weightlessness before the coaster car begins its equally thrilling descent.
