 Superman Ride of Steel
Six Flags New England
Ever since Six Flags New England installed this mega coaster it has received rave reviews from roller coaster fans and consistently ranks as one of the world's top steel coasters. Superman Ride of Steel designed and built by Intamin AG is a 5,400-foot long, two and half minute roller coaster ride. The experience begins when you board one of the nine car trains and climb the 208-foot tall lift hill. Like the man of steel himself, the Superman roller coaster takes flight as it freefalls down the 221-foot first drop at a fearsome 70-degree angle. Reaching a top speed of 77 mph, the train rides smoothly along the tubular steel track layout that is full of impressive moments of airtime and two tunnels. With a ride experience like this, it's no wonder that Superman Ride of Steel is Six Flags New England's most popular roller coaster.
