Face Your Fears BACKWARDS at 100 mph
Six Flags Magic Mountain, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, today launched their next generation of thrills with the debut of the new ride experience, SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton. Taking the record-breaking 100-mph-in-seven-seconds feature and elevating it to the next level of extreme by reversing the direction of the vehicles and sending riders shooting backwards up 41-stories into the sky, SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton leaves riders hanging for several seconds of weightlessness before they plummet back to earth … face first!
Blast backwards at 100 mph on the new ride experience, SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton, at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA.
Unlike traditional coasters, SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton blasts riders at 100 mph backwards in newly-designed sleeker cars on a dual track that spans 900 feet and looms 415 feet in the air, forming a gigantic “L” shaped superstructure that has been repainted a vibrant blue and red with a yellow track, and branded with a giant Superman “S” shield at the top that can been seen miles away. SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton opens to the public on Saturday, March 19.
“Six Flags is known internationally as the industry leader in next generation thrills. Since it opened in 1995, SUPERMAN The Escape, has been one of the most popular thrill rides in the world,” said Bonnie Rabjohn, Six Flags Magic Mountain Park President. “By redesigning the cars and turning them backwards, SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton provides even the most daring thrill seekers a new and unique ride experience that only Six Flags Magic Mountain can deliver.”
