^ yep, there is so much urban legend sorrunding Superman. Years ago I heard people saying the cars fell off the track on the return run, it overshot the tower and that was the reason for the delay. Even more crazy, is for years I believed it!

Exactly.

Tim probably said he is working with Intamin because, you know. Superman IS an Intamin ride. Just a hunch. Um...yeah I know, which I thought was my whole point. Silly me...

Jay Thomas has said that his goal is to draw some of the guests away from X2 and towards another area. Tim also said he is working with Intamin, so perhaps this will be something cool. If not, and they just plan on running a car backwards, that will still be fun, and perhaps it will just be one of a few cool thing they add to the park in the next year or two. I'm still hoping for a giant gyro-frisbee soon...MaxAir is just killer...

I also think it's down to save money. Having said that though, the fact that they would have to shut this ride down mid-summer is an obvious sign that the ride (in it's current form) is no longer a viable option long term. Especially given it's low capacity, power draining, lack of interest and inability to run as intended. Something indeed does need to be done with this ride whether it's next year, or 3 years from now.
