Yep. I was wrong on the whole Lex Luthor thing. Read about the Bizarro coaster here. And feel free to leave your own reviews on that post.

So by "Lex Luthor" you mean "Bizarro", right?

Actually, in all honesty, I'd rather have them save the money for upgrading Superman, demolish or sell cyclone, and put something new there!And yeah, I'm lucky to live near both. If you ever plan on visiting either Superman or Boulder Dash again, go during the fall. 2 reasons. The first is, that these rides are a lot more intense when its cold. The rides feels faster, the weather feels harsher. The second is it gets dark earlier. Now, while SFNE is open all day, Lake Compounce opens after 5. And if you get to the Lake at 5, you will have no lines for about 1-2 hours. They literally let you stay on the rides, as no one shows up until 8. Plus, Boulder Dash has little to no lighting, so it is almost impossible to see where you are going. Superman on the other hand, is a lot more scary, as the tunnel after the first drop becomes a gateway to hell.

I guess it could be a 'versus' kind of theme. That could work. Like Andrew said the ride does have two halves. The first could be Sup's and the second half Lex's. And you're very lucky to live near SROS and Boulder Dash! I guess we'll have to wait and see what the new name will be. My bet is that Lex Luthor will appear somewhere in the name.And I'm glad to hear that the supports aren't turning green. That would've been pretty ugly.Thanks for reading.

With the coasters unique layout, the first half being large drops and sweeping turns, and the second half being tight turns and air time, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a versus coaster. That being said, I don't really like the idea of improving it. It worked for X2, simply because the cars worked better, but if it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT! Superman is one of my favorite coasters, I live 25 minutes from it, and go on it about 30 times a year. I don't want the main reason to go to SFNE demolished. I do live near Boulder Dash, so, I will still have that.

I was thinking more of a "Supernam VS. Lex Luthor" type of thing, but this actually makes more sense.

The Lex Luthor theory is an interesting one, but I'm still skeptical. I think it's just as likely to be rethemed to Lex Luthor as it isn't.Also, some supports have begun being painted a slightly darker shade of the blue that was there, so those won't be turning green.
