55. Superman: Escape from Krypton Six Flags Magic Mountain Park, California, U.S.
This ride is a real steel shuttle roller coaster in Valencia. It has the power to go from 0 to 100 m.p.h. in only seven seconds thanks to its linear synchronous motors. It rises to 415 feet and gives passengers a momentary feeling of weightlessness. Problems stalled the original 1996 launch date. It was renovated and backward facing trains were added. It opened in 2011 with a ride duration time of under one minute. To fly with Superman you must be at least 4.5 feet tall.
You’re wrong about #10. The Fury 325 at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina is 325 high and reaches a top speed of 95mph. Both taller and faster than the Intimidator.
Hello,
I believe this article was published a couple years ago. My guess is either The Fury was not officially opened when the list itself was created or it was disqualified for one reason or another. It seems the list changes a bit every so often, in fact. But, hey, if there is enough interest in doing an updated article I will gladly write it.
Thanks for the comment though and your support!
nothing at Busch gardens in Tampa??
