Wow! This is going fast. I guess Six Flags just realized they were a *little* behind schedule.

Just be glad that the coaster isn't opening as late as August or September when the Deja Vu clones opened in their opening seasons.

Non-inverting loop... I love the look of it so much! Can't wait to see the rest of this go up!! And the awesome cliff-hanger!!!

We will be using the old queue so yes it will be just as you described. Beyond that we still have some surprises up our sleeves, so you will just have to wait and see

OOooh I like surprises.

Very cool pictures! Love the updates, and yeah, now that they've made progress on the station, the track work is picking up. I can't decide whether I should make the trip up there this year or next once CGAs supposed coaster opens... hmmm.

DO IT!! Technically you live closer to the park than I do... so if I can make it, so can you!

Great pictures that are being posted. I'll be up in that area in AUgust and I will have to see if I can get over there to ride this.

Damn, this coaster's starting to look really good. Also, I'd like to note that it looks much more immense in person. I mean, it looks HUGE. Though I can't decide if I want to brave the Season Pass preview day or not. Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if Superman will offer Flash Pass?

I agree! I haven't seen it in person but from the pics posted, comparing it to the renderings, it really does look bigger....awesome!



This pic doesn't seem to do it justice, although look how tiny the train looks on it!

[AndrewoplisWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

Wow, the ride sure looks different from the concept art. But that is by no means a bad thing!

[_koppenA donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.]

since the only picture I have seen of the lop is from right under it, I can't really say if looks different from the concept art or not.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

I didn't realize that the train's erxit from the station was in the shape of the Superman logo--that's a nice touch.



I'm also a fan of the noninverting loop, so it's good to see another coaster (other than RRnR at Universal) using it.
