What riders love
  • The setting on the quarry wall makes it unforgettable.
  • This definitely feels like a Superman adventure in scale, assisted by that gorgeous quarry wall next door.
  • The location on the quarry walls really adds to the fun.
  • This ride has one of the best cobra rolls ever created, its as snappy as an invert cobra roll!
  • Very strong inversions with strong pacing throughout.
  • Superman: Krypton Coaster feels like a complete ride with it's ample inversions, sweeping scale, and interesting interaction with the quarry wall.
  • Off ride it looks like it’s quite tame, because of the twist, but it delivers a lot of speed into that amazing first loop.
  • I loved this first drop you go so high up there and just twist into it.
  • The first drop of the quarry wall followed by the huge first inversion are great.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Fiesta Texas

And most of the time there are no trims at the mid course so you haul through the second half and then a small airtime hill before the brake run will catch you off guard.

CSX Railfan

The first drop was surprisingly good, giving some floater airtime, and the loop that comes after is massive.

Tobin Billings

You also get a smooth ride with some unique pops of air and good intensity on the inversions.

Coaster Nut

...drop on any b&m looper I’ve ridden and it shines because of the strange ability to give the force of a twisted drop at first but then the airtime of a straight drop as it gets toward the bottom.

coaster land

However, I did get a smooth experience a few years back that delivered on the inversions with even a little whip.

Connor Conant

At least it’s mostly smooth and comfortable.

David

The two back-to-back inversions can be rough, but I felt that they were only a bit more intense than the previous loops.

Coaster Critic

I wish it was less "headbangy" because I’m not able to ride it back-to-back, but I’m always happy with my single ride.

Josh Garcia

The overbanked helix going over the quarry wall is forceful and awesome, you feel like you can touch the rocks.

Eric Esty

Then, the train charges into a massive vertical loop with some decent g-forces.

Coaster Critic

The interaction with the wall is fantastic and the inversions are fun and intense.

Jack Jack J.

The inversions are forceful, but there were some dead moments in-between.

Brendan B.

but lacks intensity, To me, it’s just a really big family ride; good first coaster for those who are scared it looks intimidating but it’s not very forceful.

Luc

Superman is a good time and is perfectly harmless, but I just don’t think floorless coasters are particularly special.

Tate Searcy

Off ride it looks like it’s quite tame, because of the twist, but it delivers a lot of speed into that amazing first loop.

Jacob Sdad

The rides inversions are massive, and its 70 mph top speed is insane and you feel it.

coaster land

My first ride was in the front, which gives a great sensation of speed.

Coaster Nut

It’s followed by a great paced ride with tons of inversions.

Nick W.

There are a few forceful moments and fun transitions, but a lot of dead spots and just pointless elements.

Carter Eckhart

I also love that this ride is a capacity monster, with the trains holding a lot of people and the dispatches being pretty good.

Tobin Billings

It’s always been a walk-on my past visits to Fiesta Texas (my "other" home park) which adds to the charm of the ride.

Motion sickness risk

For whatever reason, I found myself a bit woozy and disoriented coming away from the ride.

Sean Reardon

Fun fact once on one of my rides the row that was 2 behind me someone thew up all over the place.

Criticised for

Rough or rattlyHead bangingMade riders sick

Tbh, this my most favorite floorless coaster from B&M, the inversions & interaction with the quarry wall is so good.

Christian Ortiz, Captain Coaster review

An amazing and unique first drop that drops off a cliff face, and a huge and smooth first loop with a bit of hang time… but after that, the ride became rough, with a lot of Gs pushing you down into your seat for seemingly no reason.

Erik Scott, Captain Coaster review

I went in with high expectations and honestly that was one of the most overrated coasters I have ever been on.

Cali Thoosie, Captain Coaster review

The huge elements, the never-ending length, the dives on and off the cliff, the sculpture of Superman standing boldly on top of the loop.

Austin James, Captain Coaster review

Like most lift hills at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, on Krypton Coaster’s lift you’re treated to a great view of the picturesque park that surrounds you.

Coaster Critic, published review

This was overwhelmingly rough, and as a result, dizzying with the neverending inversions.

Adam Tortorello, Captain Coaster review
