![]() ![]() Basically, you walk into a room (suddenly a soundstage becomes a train station?) and the queue is split up into large rows, which eventually lead up to a ramp and five doors (one door per carriage). For those who haven’t been on the ride, I’ll describe it to the best of my ability. While it’s not a bad queue, it is quite plain. This brings up another major flaw the queue line. Perhaps a grand station-style entrance to fit in with the queue line theme? Facades around the entrance to match a New York (or in this case, Metropolis) street would have made sense. While the “soundstage” look may suit a movie-themed attraction, a ride set inside of a busy subway system should have a corresponding exterior. ![]() The park’s first mistake was with the theming on the outside of the attraction. While that’s all well and good, the park failed to theme the ride up to standard with its other rides and attractions. The roller coaster features two airtimes hills, a near-vertical drop, a headchopper effect (flying through the building) and, of course, the 0-100km/h launch. Positioned at the front of the park, it makes for an amazing sight the park’s two tallest attractions (the Batwing Spaceshot and Superman Escape ) towering over the entrance arch and Fountain of Fame. The roller coaster replaced the park’s aging Special Effects Tour. Superman Escape was built by Intamin back in 2005. However, theming and a general lack of planning meant that this roller coaster failed to reach its full potential. The coaster takes just two seconds to reach its top speed of 100km/h. Movie World’s Superman Escape roller coaster is an awesome experience. It is also regularly published in mainstream and industry newspapers, magazines and websites.
