  1. Back in the SROS days the ride was hands down the best coaster in the world according to most people. I didn't get my first ride on it as SROS until 2008 when I was 9 so I wouldn't be able to compare it to now even though I rode it 10-11 times that year. Then came the Bizarro transformation and that made the ride seem lesser than it really was. The audio headrests new restraints and new trains made the experience worse. And in changing it back to Superman the Ride they didn't fix any of this. They just replaced the audio headrests with new headrests. A lot of the reason the ride isn't perceived as it used to be is because Six Flags has constantly screwed with it since the SROS days. If they just left it alone like they should of with TLC here or there it would probably still be that top tier coaster it once was. I think it still is top tier IMO, hell I liked it more than Fury.
  2. I don't care if it stays in the park, just take it the hell off of Superman and put it on another coaster. Keep it the hell away from Superman and Wicked Cyclone and put it on Batman or Mind Eraser and then I'd be fine with it.
  3. They shut the VR off yesterday around 6 because of rain and didn't put it back on the ride for the rest of the night. Line ended up moving really fast. One thing that pisses me off is that even when they shut the VR off they still assign seats. Great job six flags great job. Give us the old station set up, get rid of this VR garbage. PLEASE!
  4. 55 minutes is still bad on a Thursday. Even during the summer months. In past years you would only have to wait 15-20 minutes on Weekdays most of the time. Line was bad Monday when I was there it was at least a 2 hour wait. Once again that's on a MONDAY.
  5. This ride is still around its just had 2 rethemes. I would love to ride Superman @SFNE in its prime again when it was originally SROS. This is before the accident and they made the modifications to the restraints with the ankle shackles. I rode it about 10 or 11 times when I was 9 the last year it was SROS
  6. I was there for a bit today. I got front row on Wicked Cyclone twice in a row. I didn't even bother with Superman. I timed how long between a dispatch and one was 7 minutes the other was 7 and a half minutes. And sadly I think that was one of the quicker ones.
  7. Is that confirmed or just speculation based off the rumors
  8. The park hasn't even been open for 30 minutes.....
  9. Some one on the SFNE online forum just posted a pic of Supermans wait on the app and it's at 150+ minutes........
  10. My Homepark is SFNE and Supeman the Ride is a mess with VR. You'd be lucky to catch it on a day with less than an hour and a half now. This could be worse, I've never been to SFGAM but I heard it can get really slammed and lines can get long I can't imagine what VR will to do Raging Bull
  11. Mine is: 1. Superman the Ride (SFNE) 2.El Toro 3.Fury 325 4.Wicked Cyclone 5.Intimidator (Carowinds) 6.Nitro 7.Comet (Great Escape) 8.Afterburn 9.Bizarro (GADV) 10. Kingda Ka
  12. My problem is the jack hammering. Most of the time it's ok when you're going forwards. Backwards is honestly one of the most uncomfortable roller coaster rides you'll ever have. Some rows are worse than others 4 and 7 are absolutely terrible. Back isn't to bad, and I haven't gotten the front on Goliath since around the beginning of last year (stupid assigned seating).
  13. Yes, finally another Goliath worshiper! I'm not sure what to expect for Goliath when I visit this month. Most people in this thread seem to hate it. I thought it was pretty bumpy back when it was at SFMM but overall fairly tolerable. Apparently these new trains completely ruined the ride? Is it at least somewhat reliable? It's been more reliable this year than the last two years. It still has its fair share of break downs, obviously but it's been running about 90% of the time. I just don't ride it, I absolutely hate the ride. The old trains were 1000x better.
  14. I am very surprised with how good the VR is. I had my expectations set very very low but I'm glad to see they pulled it off well. The line moves at a crawl though, a line that was usually 20 minutes took an hour and 6 minutes (yes I actually timed it lol)
  15. Of the coasters I've been on definetly Superman the Ride and El Toro. The 3rd hill before the S Sheilds on Superman and the RT crossover on Toro have the crazy ejector air of all the coasters I've been on
  16. Mine is Superman the Ride at Six Flags New England. But VR is probably going to turn it into a shit show so Fury will most likely become my new favorite after that
  17. California-The Joker Connecticut-Boulder Dash Florida-Montu Georgia-Golaith Illinois-Golaith Indiana-The Voyage Kentucky-Lightning Run Maine-Excalibur Maryland-SROS Massachusetts- Superman the Ride (back in the SROS days it's just barely better than Wicked Cyclone now) Michigan-Shivering Timbers Missouri-Outlaw Run Nevada-Desperado New Hampshire-Yankee Cannonball New Jersey- El Toro New York- Ride of Steel North Carolina-Fury 325 Ohio- Millennium Force Pennsylvania-Skyrush South Carolina- Intimidator Tennessee- Lightning Rod (when it opens) Texas- NTG Virginia- I305
  18. It can be temperamental at times it usually hauls ass during the summer and into fright fest. The airtime is about the best you'll find on a steel coaster apart from maybe RMC hybrids and maybe Skyrush
  19. Well SFNE has implemented assigned seating on Superman. Great Job SFNE your 2 best coasters you can't pick your seats
  20. I might catch hell for this but I thought Fury 325 was quite overrated. Everyone told me it would blow away any coaster I'd been on and I got off wanting more. Still a great ride just not as great as I thought it'd be or people made it out to be
