If any of you are scared about the drop/lift. If ur scared about the lift just look at the pond to ur left. It's really a good thing to distract u from the fact that ur going up a 200 foot lift. If ur scared about the drop it isn't that bad and it goes by fast.
the drop absolutely is that bad lmfao and it doesn't help that there's nothing to comfortably hold on to!! undeniably excellent coaster and sooooo nice and smooth once the ride is going but that full minute lift is just unbearable even with the lovely views lol
I have never felt like I was flying more than on this ride. Add in some fun theming, an amazing view of the CT River and you have one of the best amusement park experiences one can enjoy.
@@DannytheTourist yeah I agree, not all restraints are created equal. I've found a good way to ride Superman, you just don't want to get stapled so you want to find a comfortable spot for the restraint before the ops come up then push against it when they try to staple you. Then when going up the lift hill put your hands to your sides or the weight of your arms will push the restraint down with gravity. It's a terrible dance you have to do to not get possible thigh bruising, restraints should never be like that. That's why I love the B&M "clamshell" restraint, it's so comfortable you could fall asleep in it if you tried 😂👍
@IDC-jh3tx I've heard it's a mixed bag- kinda depends on the person, the ride op who may or may not staple you (they're getting better with that!), and your thighs where the restraint rests. I'm 6'3" and have ridden it enough to know exactly where I like the restraint. Best advice, put on your seat belt and put the restraint where you want it before the ride op comes by, then make sure to press against the restraint when they come to push down on it- usually they'll leave it where it is and you'll be all good. Also don't put your hands on the restraint going up the lift hill or gravity will tighten it for you 👍 lol sorry so long winded, just love this ride to pieces and know how to ride it great over the past 3 years and 100+ rides 🤘❤️
This coaster is incredible even though this ride has really bad restraints it’s amazing! This is my first hyper coaster I’ve ever been on and it did not disappoint still one of my favorites
What do you mean it is it safe to ride or the restraints are uncomfortable? I’m going Sunday and got the flash pass and this is one the rides we are doing
This thing is so powerful that my legs were purple afterwards because of how hard my lap bar had come down. Absolutely amazing. When the airtime hurts, you KNOW it's good.
They didn’t hurt my legs all the times I’ve been on it fortunately, but I definitely felt safe and secure which is always great! All the rides at this park are quite safe
This used to be my home park until I moved to Florida 5 years ago. Even through I live only a 2 1/2 hour drive from Orlando, I still prefer Six Flags New England for it's roller coasters,
First coaster as an adult (been 30 years since python at bush gardens Florida when i was 12) and im now a coaster addict! Rode it 3 times in a row and had to be drug away by my wife..lol. already planning my next trip, great adventure or cedar point, im on the fence??? Both!!
I love how the ride up the first hill is really slow just like Nitro at Great Adventure, which gives enough time to rethink your life decisions. But on Superman they at least play epic music before the train drops.
Im going tomorrow and i think im gonna go on but im rlly scared but not bc of the height idk how to overcome my fear bc i love rollercoasters just too scared to go pn some
Did you ride Superman the Ride at Six Flags New England when Covid-19 was a thing I did and I had to wear a mask on the ride and a lot of rows were blocked off and I couldn't tell if the ride was running slowly due to having not many people on the trains.
This was my first EVER roller coaster!! This Sunday I went on it and... no!!!! I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN🤣Superman- your coaster is too much for me. To be fair, I am a wimp😂
I have a love / hate relationship with Superman UF. I love it because Brainiac is in the queue (he's even my PFP), but I hate the face-down sensation. Haha
Guys ive never been on this ride but i went to lake compounds and went on wildcat and boulder dash to get over my fears of them. is there a difference between wildcat (Lake Compounds) to Superman (Six Flags)??
Big difference! To start they are completely different types of coasters, wild cat being wooden makes it much different. Maybe try phobia for a more similar experience to ride of steal if you can handle a couple inversions!
Been on this ride since it opened. Last time the train stopped on the lift hill in the rain because some banana head decided to mess with his belt. They had to evacuate us off the lift hill. I’m now retired from riding this dusty ass coaster.
Yeah its got a variable speed lift hill, I was just on it earlier and it took a min for the train behind to clear the last sensor so we creeped up maybe the first 4th of the hill then the chain kicked in as well as the music and off it went! One of the best rides out there, that and Wicked Cyclone are pretty much an unbeatable pair when you put the two together! 👍🤘
Have you seen the new paint on the Superman's trains at Six Flags New England? The new colors really pop I really like it. You could tell that the paint on Superman's trains were getting quite old and starting to get beat up by the lap bars. You can see the yellow stripe on the lead car that matches the color of the edge of the platform really good. I really like the new vinyl that Six Flags put on the seats! It's pretty soft to feel. The lap bars in my opinion are a down grade because Six Flags put new ones on some of the seats and when they release in the station, a lot of the times riders can't pull them up. It's super sad to see the ride crew struggle too to pull up the lap bars. Sometimes if you wait too long to leave you seat the lap bar will lock back down and the ride crew has to tell the ride operator to release the lap bar.
@@EastCoasters it’s just the restraints it hurts a lot every time I went down the hills and when I got off my hip was done and I was limping the rest of the day.
@@refusetrucksofCT its because they let a fat disabled dude on years ago despite rhe fact he didn't fit the seat....he fell out and the coaster was ruined with the new restraints
Yeah that brake run directly after an intense turn and right before the station legit makes me nervous everytime we hit it. Stark contrast from the mile long brake runs B&M puts on their rides 🤣
Yikes I wouldn't want to on that train on Superman the Ride at Six Flags New England if flew into the brakes and it started smoking it wouldn't be fun at all.
@@thanus6636 i do love joker. We have it here at great adventure! Definitely trying to plan a trip up but I hear the lines at SFNE have been absolutely horrific so might plan it on a rain day!
@@LETSGOCOMMIES oh!! Ok thank you for telling me😼 Ah i just checked the weather from early morning to about 12-ish it is supposed to raid but after there will be sunny/ cloudy skies if it isn't dry or still raining ill probably go on the weekend🕺🕺
@@gipes1087 I don't recommend going on the weekend, if u do go saturday, but get the flash pass if u can, it will be very big lines and sunday will rain
I love the music but I would never in a million fucking years go on this ride. This ride is for crazy people! ☠️ It’s fun to watch POV of roller coaster rides but it’s a totally different story to actually ride it. 😖
Hate to ask but can I use this and some of your other footage from you? I totally understand if you don’t want me to but I would love to if possible. I have looked all over your channel for a copyright policy but couldn’t find it.
So happy this is my home park. Best coaster ever!
Lucky! You got such a strong top 2🥃
@@EastCoasters Just went on this yestersday. AMAZING ride!
@@EastCoasters that's the problem. strong top 2 and a bunch of trash aside from Batman...a weak B&M at best
Same bro

I'm looking at this ride watching it keep going up still super super high
the stomach drops though
That's no pond...it's the Connecticut River haha. Such a great view though
the drop absolutely is that bad lmfao and it doesn't help that there's nothing to comfortably hold on to!! undeniably excellent coaster and sooooo nice and smooth once the ride is going but that full minute lift is just unbearable even with the lovely views lol
😂😂 Bro no.
I like how they play the Superman theme up the lift hill, it’s awesome!
As a person who travels the country to go to the best amusement parks, this has to be the best ride I’ve been on yet
I have never felt like I was flying more than on this ride. Add in some fun theming, an amazing view of the CT River and you have one of the best amusement park experiences one can enjoy.
The lift fills you with adrenaline and dread if you’re first timer and then the drop just FLINGS you. So fun

Even with the terrible restraints this ride just kicks all kinds of ass! Quite possibly one of the best coaster layouts ever conceived! 🤘🤘

I rode this ride 4 times in a row and it was amazing
is this roller costers is it really scary cause i never been on it before
@@user-lk1hw7hg1ronly scary part is going up the lift
@ALZucchini
And maybe the headchopper moments

I love the music going up man
John Williams is a legend. Honestly, though, Shirley Walker has the best Superman theme. Especially when it's pitched down a key.
This used to be my home park until I moved to Florida 5 years ago. Even through I live only a 2 1/2 hour drive from Orlando, I still prefer Six Flags New England for it's roller coasters,
There are so many positive Gs on this ride. I always ride it towards the end of the day because I'll find everything else boring afterwards.
Im going to six flags in about a week, and I am really looking forward to superman :D
Yeah you it’s fun and makes u wanna go again
@@Infinity777z welp I’m looking forward to to! :ad
It's a nice touch that they play the Superman theme as your ascending the lift hill
This ride is straight up fire and in my opinion if you get the chance to go to New England, try and find time to visit sfne
That initial climb has me questioning all of my life choices
the trouble is if you are in the front with your arms up the hills can hurt your back really badly but the ride is amazing
Sweet!
I rode it for the first time today! It was so fun! The drop is definitely the most intense part 😅
I am going on this ride and this is my first time going to 6 flags

I love the zig-zag track that Intamin once had when building this coaster
This was my 100th credit. Needless to say that it meet my expectations really well
I went there today 2 times, now i keep feeling the drop when I’m laying down
Genuine question, why did they take out the fog/mist?
Love this ride, just hate going up

from the front povs this ride looks fast as heck but from the middle or back povs it looks like a mid speed

To be fair, I am a wimp😂

Its so good the jump down fells like ur jumping 100 percent recommend it if u like roller coasters
all they have is a bar across lap my friend just went on it yesterday can't be to safe for 200 feet drop
I remember crying the first time I went on this ride lmao

The lift hill has gotten slower
The night before, she was really moving so it’s temperamental in the beginning of the season
@@EastCoasters I guess

I seen that on Superman the Ride at Six Flags New England you can almost hear the whole entire Superman Theme song as you are going up to lift hill.
I’m gonna go on it

This is the better of these intimin Superman’s right??
100%
I’ve never heard such silence on a roller coaster. Is everyone sleeping? 😅
