Superman The Escape at Six Flags Magic Mountain was once the park’s signature attraction. Opened in 1997, it was the first coaster to break the 100 mph mark. While short, the ride does provide for a good thrill after the 100 mph launch. The coaster then rockets skyward before descending backwards towards the earth. In recent years, there have been numerous rumors suggesting that the ride would be repainted, rethemed, or removed. And now, this sign has shown up:

The ride may finally be getting that long overdo revamp. So what will it be? Will the ride continue the Superman theme? Or perhaps it will get the Superman: Ride of Steel treatment, a transfer to Bizarro. It will be interesting to see what happens to the ride. From my experience wit the attraction, I would not mind seeing it removed entirely, as I see it as an eyesore.

Intimidator 305, the much debated new ride this year at Kings Dominion, has recieved many technical fixes since it opened a few months ago. Intamin, the ride’s builder, had to add in trim brakes on the first hill to slow down the ride since many people were complaining about graying out, even blacking out.
However, a new fix has arrived that has been rumored since the ride was announced. The typical over-the-sholder restraints found on most new Intamins have been replaced with straps. The Coaster Crew was able to ride the ride, and they say that the ride “is a brand new ride” now.

The normal Intamin restraints have caused head banging on I305′s tight turns and allowed people to float higher than what was comfortable. From what The Coaster Crew is saying, the head banging is gone and the new straps keep you snug in your seat.
So, what are your thoughts on the new restraints? Will these make up for the ride’s slower speed now? Post your thoughts below and like this post on Facebook to share with your friends.
