1999
marked the year that Darien Lake became a Six Flags park. Along with the
new
moniker came Superman: Ride of Steel, a 205 foot hyper
coaster!
Superman has some
incredible airtime over the bunny hops and major hills.
The
trains are very comfortable with only a single lap bar and seat belt holding you
in!
The
rider rules on Superman were interesting. Check out the very last
one!
The
Viper is a multi-looping roller coaster.
Viper
was the first coaster to turn riders upside down 5 times. The inversions include
a
vertical loop, boomerang, and a double corkscrew.
The
vertical loop on Viper pulls some very strong positive G's.
The
Mind Eraser is an inverted coaster that takes riders upside down 5
times.
The
layout of the Mind Eraser is very twisted!
The
UFO is a 'round up' like ride where riders stand in cages and are lifted almost
vertical!
This
upside down swinging ship looks just like the one from RCT!
The
Predator is the park's wooden roller coaster.
The
Predator has some steep drops and banked curves.
The
Boomerang will take riders upside down forwards and backwards 6 times in under
60 seconds.
