It'll be interesting to see them erect the lift hill with the lack of supports to hold it up. I feel like on most coasters they can usually have one piece left unsupported but never more than that, and I have never seen a crane lift more than two pieces together. But with the lack of supports, and the ridiculously heavy lift pieces, I am not really sure how they will do it. -

Is it rough or something? Superman has been one of those coasters I have always known about and really want to ride, but don't really know when I would make it out there to ride it. Someday! -

^I assume what he meant by that is make the brakes invisible and use 3Ds as the non moving brakes. If that makes any sense. I can't wait for the DL of this coaster, it looks so epic! Great station too, staring up through the roof at that lift hill would be intense! Why is it so high off the ground though? -

Why do you say Supermans curves aren't for everyone? Thanks for the TR, great to see foreign parks. -

^And very expensive, which I would imagine S&S would pay for, but still not cheap. You would think that with S&S trying to make a name for themselves in the industry, they would be really trying to make quality products. This is pretty rep damaging in my mind. -

^^Wait, how do you have working monorail stops (as in do they actually pick up and drop off guests) and how do you have working cars? Sounds awesome though, I will definitely be following that park. -

^Well ya, but like I feel that that definitely should not happen (obviously). I can see an air leak or something being a regular and smaller occurrence, but I don't get how an air tank just explodes on a coaster. -

Holy smokes, that looks like a pretty serious issue. I don't get it though, this isn't their first thrust air coaster so why all of the problems all of the sudden? I understand that it is arguably more technologically advance with the additional speed, but this kind of error is a little over the top to me. When they say explosion, what exactly do they mean? I can't read the article, but I guess I can assume one of the air cylinders popped or something. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

^I agree. I mean, I operated all kinds of rides this summer and even when I was on the Tilt-a-whirl a said it was the best ride in the park. It just makes the guests experience more fun, and increases the happiness of that specific ride. I mean, perhaps the guests just waited 30 min to ride MF and were upset that front was another 10 min, but when they hear it is the best ride it made it more worthwhile and made there stay better. -
Ya, it is a pretty awesome coaster. I agree it does have some pretty awkward banking (and why they make the heavier person sit on the inside) but it still really fun. Having just rode my first GCI's this summer, the first drop and turn on this felt very GCI-esque in the sense the twisting first drop and pull right after the drop. Its awesome! Anyways, I went to the park today just to get a ride on it and the park was packed! But of course it is when a run on her only costs 60 cents. Very fun!
