    My daughter works there, and from what we heard, a few months back Superman had a fire under it as the machinery blew up. No one was hurt. They had it fixed a few weeks ago as i picked her up and it was working again but as of yesterday it was down.

      I was working at Goliath when the fire broke out in June, they fixed the ride in August where it ran for two fridays and has been SBNO ever since.

    If they did remove Superman, that’d be the dumbest thing they’ve ever did, because it’s an icon in the park and SoCa, and it’d be removing Drop Of Doom too 😒

      I personally i don’t think you’re missing out. I wouldn’t mind it the only part I would miss i the entrance but thats it the ride ir self is okay it just goes up and down and is forceless not as bad as Goliath forcelessness still forceless. Its also super loud like very loud like you can hear it miles outside the park and theres neborhoods there so they probably could hear it. Its extremely loud on the walkway towards the back of the park too. Thats why i wouldn’t mind if they removed it. Maybe the park could put a zamperla strata or at least the model in its place instead.

  • @gojewla
    @gojewla 23 дні тому

    Superman the escape is a very unique ride in terms of coaster model, but the ride experience is sort of like a rollback from top thrill dragster, Kingda ka, etc. If they build something absolutely monumental, it might be good enough to replace it, but they totally suck for closing all these iconic and important rides.

    I believe intamin can prob just update the LSMS idk. Not to sound dumb or anything, but isn’t Superman already LSMs? I feel like intamin can definitely probably just retro fit it. It might stay SBNO until after their next edition, which I think will be an S&S Axis.

    I rode Superman Escape from Krypton last year. It's a REALLY good ride. I loved the speed of almost reaching 100mph, and other than Incredicoaster I believe it was my 1st big Intamin coaster.
    I got 2 rides on it, one during day and one at night.
    I really hope they can save Superman Escape from Krypton. Have they actually demolished Kingda Ka yet? Why don't they give us Kingda Ka💙💚??

    Here's my theory to why they did not announce kingdaka. They didn't want millions flocking to the ride seeing that it has hard times staying up and running. If you got a million ppl coming from all over for one last ride most prolly wouldn't of been able to get on due to the fact that it is a grandpa and prolly couldn't hold mass numbers. Any body else got a theory
