I started going on a roller coaster with inversions in July 2004. That coaster was Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great Adventure.

The difference between Skull Mountain and the Hurricane at Adventureland in Long Island was that the Skull Mountain roller coaster uses a tire driven lift, while the Hurricane uses a traditional chain lift. Skull Mountain actually has two separate lifts with a view of the outside through a waterfall before the second lift. The Hurricane has two separate stations for loading and unloading compared to Skull Mountain's one station. Skull Mountain uses single position lap restraints while the Hurricane uses individual lap bars and have fewer cars on their trains. Comapring to these two coasters, Skull Mountain is probably better, and a little more smoother.

1. Superman: Ultimate Flight - (SFGAdv) 2. Batman: The Ride - (SFGAdv) 3. Unknown 4. Unknown 5. Unknown Superman: Ultimate Flight was actually the first roller coaster I went on with inversions in the Summer of 2004. The following year, I took a chance to go on Batman: The Ride and it was exciting when you are seated in those ski lift style seats with the OTSR holding you in. These B&M roller coasters are the only two I have ridden on at Six Flags Great Adventure or at any other theme park.

When I went to the Empire State Building about four years ago, I remembered going on the New York Skyride attraction. Back then I think James Doohan of the 1960s Star Trek show narrated the simulator ride.
