Superman Ultimate Flight
Six Flags Great America
The Midwest's most unique flying coaster, Superman Ultimate Flight, is based on the DC Comics Super Hero, Superman. This new generation of roller coasters provides an unparalleled flying experience at speeds greater than 50 mph. The adventure begins as passengers board the sleek, 32-seat train. As the train exits the station, passengers tilt face-first into the flying position, suspended from the track above. The anticipation builds as passengers, secured by specially designed over-the-shoulder restraints and lap bars, climb the 115-foot lift hill with nothing but a bird's eye view below. Upon take-off, the ride enters a series of sharp dives, high banked curves and spirals uniquely designed to enhance the flying experience.
