I just rode this today, it was pretty good. While we were in line we noticed that none of the riders ever put their hands up. At the very top before the inversion the ride slows down A LOT, and you feel like you are there hanging upside-down for a good amount of time. This is when you realize there are no shoulder restraints, only a simple lap bar, no wonder there were no hands up, you feel you are holding on for dear life! Super fun ride once you are over that part. The wait time was really not bad at all, moved along rather quickly, and it was amusing watching the ride run all the time we were waiting in line.

I'm kinda liking what BGW did with Verbolten……soo, I was hoping that SF would make a coaster kinda like that, based around the new Batman games. Most people like Batman more than Superman (because let's face it, Superman is the gayest name for a hero. Come on DC, at least Batman sounds awesome.) But also, the whole Superman thing is way overdone. Think about it; you can hardly go to any Six Flags park without seeing a Superman reference, but very few SF parks have Batman rides. I've only been to three parks, and only one of them had ANY Batman-related attractions (that would be Six Flags America). I think it's time to give Batman another shot, and keep Superman out of the Lazarus pits. Eh?

They may retheme one of the others like that. Over Georgia's Perhaps, or maybe Magic Mountain will retheme Tatsu (i hope not, we need more orange coasters).

i hate that six flags insist on naming their rides that are different the exact same name. It makes talking about them so difficult. you always have to add "superman ultimate flight at discovery kingdom…noooo its not the flying coaster, its a launch coaster…yes i'm shure, most of the other ones are flying at other parks but this one is sitting and launching… yes i know what i'm talking about…awww forget it." lol. they could atleast change the names up just a little bit. like all the bizarro's now. floorless bizarro could have been…Bizarro's Revenge. and hyper coaster bizarro could have been Bizarro ultimate flight…. LOL

This looks totally like a Maurer Ride. But the Maurer have the vertical LIM, which would have been far more interesting. This looks more like a Boomerang. Could also be that this is far less intense than Abismo for example.

I like the looks of this one. Not sure how fast the line will move though. That may be the only downfall to it.

Yet another recycled Six Flags coaster name…. although this ride actually looks pretty awesome. Definitely was reminded of the "double take" on Rip Ride Rockit. And this ride definitely has a little "Storm Runner" action going on with that high altitude barrel roll. The video makes it seem like a slight brake before you drop after the barrel roll. It would be pretty extreme if it let you drop right into the loop.

I totally thought this was a Maurer X-Coaster when I first saw it, but I think it's even better that it's a Premier. I was so impressed with Sky Rocket that I have high hopes for this, looks unique and fairly intense, definately a pleasant surprise when they announced it. Pandemonium for this is a more than fair trade.

wonder what the capacity would be like with 1 twelve passenger train with about 2 minutes of ride time.

Sounds to me like a good staple attraction for this park. While I personally would not really visit this particular six flags I think will attract lots more visitors. Maybe Id come to ride this it looks pretty cool. An improved version of the impulses by intamin
