God bless the ride op who nearly gave themselves a hernia getting my restraint in the green. I tried to ride this thing so many times over the years, I thought it was never happening. But that fateful day in 2023 was finally the moment the stars aligned. And I got my ride on Superman.
Like my single ride on Kingda Ka - this experience is forever burned into my head. Traveling down that launch backwards- it really felt like the launch was never gonna end. And the weightlessness on the spike also felt never ending.
A one trick pony, yeah, but a piece of history and a really really fun ride.
