Superman: Ride of Steel to open at Six Flags America this weekend

Posted | Contributed by Ben Ashley

Finally, after delays in construction and more delays in construction, S:ROS is about ready to open to the public on May 13.

Construction didn't start on Superman until January 2000. In less than a week, over half the lift hill rose in February. The track and structure of the ride were completed by the time the park opened on April 15, but more needed to be done before the ride was to open. This included building the ride's boarding station and constructing a path to get to the ride itself.

To reach SROS, guests journey back to Gotham City. A new path constructed alongside the Joker's Jinx leads thrillseekers to the awaiting Intamin megacoaster. Along the way, guests will encounter another new ride, the Krypton Comet, a Chance Chaos. Also new this season is Metropolis Gifts, a new shopping venue located near S:ROS, and Octopus, a polyp ride located near Shipwreck Falls.

The first ride on Superman on May 13 has been promised to the Coaster Zombies, whose founder is Sam Marks.
