What riders love
  • I won't lie when I tell you that I was screaming my head off on that pretzel loop from its intensity alone.
  • The pretzel loop tries to kill you and it's insane, the forces are great, and you get pinned against the back of the seat.
  • The pretzel loop is weirdly intense, you’re dropping and inverting at the same time.
  • There’s also a double roll later on that’s awesome. It makes you feel like Superman flying through the sky.
  • The swooping turns and the inline twist were much more forceful and fun than on my previous rides.
  • The pretzel loop, as always, is awesome, and the in-line twist and the end is neat.
  • The flying sensation is so unique, and that pretzel loop is so fun.
  • Pretzel loops are always crazy intense and being in the flying position is just always fun to me now matter how slow or dull the elements are.
  • You’re moving along at a decent pace, not even through a crazy layout or anything but it’s just such an enjoyable almost relaxing experience, plus it’s butter smooth.

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure

While there are some dead spots on this coaster, the sensation of flying is super unique, and the ride is overall just really fun and smooth.

Ethan

The ride is smooth and comfortable, but besides the pretzel loop, there are no other intense forces.

Erik C.

A really fun and smooth B&M Flying Coaster that has just about all you would expect from a coaster of this model, including the notorious pretzel loop.

Evangelion Martini

Has over the shoulder and leg restraints which are more comfortable than I initially thought.

Steve Dawson

but every time you go from seating position to fly position it hurts you’re neck and puts lots of pressure on you’re chest but overall, a good ride

@abinadabviruet6419

If you have to wait for the car ahead of you to unload when you get back to the station, prepare for a few minutes of maddening discomfort.

The Real E-Rock

Pretzel loops are always crazy intense and being in the flying position is just always fun to me now matter how slow or dull the elements are.

Carter Eckhart

Aside from the pretzel loop, which is one of the most intense elements in the park, the ride is very chill and makes you feel like you’re flying.

CoasterKing

Rode it again the next year and knew how mid it was despite getting one of the most intense experiences of my life with that pretzel loop at row 7.

Joey Leary

The pretzel loop tries to kill you and it’s insane, the forces are great, and you get pinned against the back of the seat.

Caiden Brauchler

Honestly this feels pretty similar to the Sfog clone but without the intensity in those overbanks.

Cooper Zimmerman

This ride isn’t all that forceful (except for the pretzel loop, which was really forceful) and it just feels like you’re flying around (which seems to be the point of this ride) and it’s just plain...

Jonas

On my ride just a few days ago, the coaster maintained a good speed throughout the entire layout.

Kristofer Wempa

Unfortunately, the rest of the ride doesn’t deliver all that much, as it’s pretty dead and has a dull layout after that can be fun simply due to the flying element, but is very tame.

Matt Rappaport

After that, you kinda just meander and then you go into a barrel roll before the brakes.

Caiden Brauchler

7.5/10 - I wasted $9 on a one-shot Flash Pass for this since it ended up being a walk-on by the time I used it

MapleFlakes

It also had painfully slow dispatches which made laying in the break run uncomfortable and made getting on that much slower.

Melondrew

The capacity is awful, too.

Superman Ultimate Flight is a great flying coaster, and is my second favourite I’ve ridden so far behind Tatsu.

Dalia, Captain Coaster review

Fun ride in a bad location,this coaster now Is so isolated and Just next ti the parking...

Alessio Romano, Captain Coaster review

Pretzel loop was great and while I have heard others complain about the restraints I found them fine even while hanging on the final brake run.

Melissa R., Captain Coaster review

The ride was fun but lackluster until the loop, which packed a lot of force.

Jackie ODoyle, Captain Coaster review

You really can’t talk about this coaster without bringing up that pretzel loop, one of the best inversions I’ve ever experienced on any coaster.

Sean Kearns, Captain Coaster review

Rode it again the next year and knew how mid it was despite getting one of the most intense experiences of my life with that pretzel loop at row 7.
