djbrcace1234 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Youtube to Mp3 converter. The funny thing too, that link you posted is the one I converted, and it came out clean I must say. Also, it has a good bass kick to it. I love seeing all the people dancing in the quene line like it is a rave. And if I remember right, they used to have a strobe effect that made question marks line the wall and move, similar to the movie "Batman Forever." EDIT: Now this makes me wonder. If they were to make one side of Superman go backwards or something, would that count as a new coaster, considering that the two tracks offer two diffrent expierances? It makes me think this is another way to regain the coaster title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. cockblock Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I highly doubt Riddler's will get a retheme anytime in the near future. Although I think a paint scheme switch would look awesome: black track, green supports, but I know that will never happen. Back in '98 when the ride first opened the station was so awesome with the music blaring and the mess of strobe lights/question mark lights going all over the place. It seemed like those effects really got people excited to ride, including me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damnyouep Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^I agree I would hate to see Riddler's get rethemed. It is iconic in a way and the music playing in the station is just awesome... I hope I'll be able to go back to MM soon to hear that music again They need to keep that music in the station. It's one of my favorite station songs! [Youtube Video] I wouldn't like a retheme, either. I do think a nice, fresh coat of paint would be nice, though. Man, I haven't heard that song in forever. Brought back so many memories of being in that station so excited to ride but so drained from it being 95 degrees out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMM fanboy Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 A frsh coat of paint would be nice for RR. IMO, the good thing about Superman being closed is that you don't hve to hear the extremly loud roar it makes walking under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^ I like that. It makes the coaster sound intimidating, despite how, well, dull the ride seems. Just like the roar of Batman and Riddler's Revenge; It just makes the coasters look more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^I know. If sombody doesn't agree that it's by far the loudest roller coaster in the State of California, they're mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus how crowded the waterpark (SFHH) might be on 8-13? LOL! I'm going to my favorite water park on Friday the 13th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 From what I have been hearing (looking at previous post) It hasn't been that crowded this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The park hasn't been terribly crowded for the busy summer season, the water park has been quite busy though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEscapeArtist Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^I think he also said that running Superman at 100 MPH increases the downtime by about 400%. This is the reason why it doesn't go 100. It has nothing to do with costs. In terms of costs to run the ride, Superman is pretty much typical with other rides in the park. However, the ride doesn't run both sides because of low popularity, and hiring 2 more staff to decrease line time is...well, its not typical Six Flags practice. ^I agree I would hate to see Riddler's get rethemed. It is iconic in a way and the music playing in the station is just awesome... I hope I'll be able to go back to MM soon to hear that music again I've never understood why the popularity of music in RR's queue is high, while X's music was pretty much hated. When removed upon a re-do, the park was applauded by coaster fans. They're both techno, both decent, and X even had different tracks of songs. But, hey, whatever. I hope we get an Intamin Rocket. No, I am not kidding. Saw this image once, thought it was quite endearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbrcace1234 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Since Superman has no need for revenge, this would be quite the Bizzaro ride. Also, if they kept Superman running with all that mess, it would be crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce532 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^That would be funny. Your launching on superman thinking wow were going fast. Then the train from the new coaster goes zooming right past you going 50 or 60 mph faster than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rturo Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Now this makes me wonder.

It makes me think this is another way to regain the coaster title. The real question is: would Jeff Johnson count it as a new credit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Make the track loop around it one more time to make it longer in that pic, add some sick inversions, and you have a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Of Spades Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^^That song is so amazing. Helps me to forget that I'm about to have my knee's shattered. As for Senor Superman, I don't see why people think launching this backwards is such a great idea. You would get some minor whiplash both launching and braking at minimum, and it surely wouldn't help the already minimal airtime the ride has. Now, if anything (pipe dream here), I'd like to see it go floorless or something to that affect. Strip away that sense of security, and now you've got a much more frightening ride. Of course, when that happens, hell will freeze, pigs will fly, and CGA will get a new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Backwards car or rocket coaster....the latter seems more likely, that would for sure qualify as a BIG change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing for S:TE. I think if they lowered the front seats as much as possible and made the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rows stadium style (where the seat in front of you is lower than your seat, and the seat behind you higher) it would improve the overall experience. Sitting anywhere but the front, you know that the view is horrible, so raising the seats can help with that. Another thing to improve the view is to lower that really tall front-of-the-train, so that you can fell the wind in your face more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdoidoppp Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 As far as this whole idea of Superman: TE having a BIzarro side goes, I am starting to doubt it. If that were to happen, they would have a sign saying "Something BIZARRE is happening to Superman: The Escape!" like they did to the other victims of this trend. I also believe a Drop Ride is even more unlikely, since it wouldn't even require the whole ride to be shut down for a year. I think only two or three things are possible right now. 1. They make the ride itself TALLER and FASTER. It would most likely use a hydraulic cable launch (which explains the work with Intamin AG) 2. An entirely new launching roller coaster that launches OVER the top of the current towers. This also might not happen, because the photo of it shows the station in the middle of the S:TE que line. Which most likely means it will no longer be an active ride, only used as a support for the new guy. 3. They are making it more of a reliable and cheaper ride. Top speed and both sides running. I don't see what is wrong with running both sides in terms of "hiring more employees". It would only take two spare workers which they probably already have...

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^Not only would they have to hire more employees to duel it, but then there's the problem of double the already high power usage..... and at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
