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.

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!

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

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).

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.

What is your favorite Roller Coaster?

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 -

Most Overrated coaster?
Chasehat replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
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
