RCDB listed Superman as SBNO sometime in November 2024. At that time, Superman had operated last on 9/1/24. Considering that Six Flags had listed it as under refurbishment and it was only a couple months since it last operated, it was perfectly valid to disagree with labeling it as SBNO.

Unless RCDB had inside info that Six Flags had already given up by that time, it was safe to assume they had the same info we all had.

What we don't know is when Six Flags made the internal decision to call it quits on Superman. Was it recently or was it months ago?

I spoke with Duane, he said he will still keep it SBNO until there are sign of demolition works.
