Between the two helices is this wonderful airtime hill that is preceded and proceeded by two unique stretches of track.  The track that I am talking about are nothing too special...they are just straight.  Exiting the first helix and before you enter the second helix are two sections of completely straight track.  I know that might sound really boring but when you are speeding through it at 65-70 mph it gives you the chance to really just enjoy the speed and power that Superman The Ride of Steel has.



Once Superman is dome spinning you around at high speed comes its wonderful airtime filled finale.



Superman's finale is filled with twists, turns and some violent ejector seat airtime.



As aggressive as the finale is it tops off really a completely perfect coaster.



I have to say here at the end that I really wasn't looking forward to having two days at Six Flags America.  I was less than impressed with it on my previous visit and I did go into this visit with a bit of apprehension. 

The only issues we had were Sunday when the park and especially the water park completely overran due to Six Flags offering a buy one get one free ticket.  There were cleanliness issues that evening but it was obvious that they park was not ready for the crowds.  Outside of that we had employees friendly ad really working their behinds off to give all guests a wonderful experience.  Carrie and I both had a great time and now I would have no problem running back.  Superman is amazing and The Wild One really caps off the park.

Thank you to Six Flags America for the wonderful time and for all the work that you do with your park.

Now we are on to spend two days at Kings Dominion and then Busch Gardens Williamsburg for Coaster Con 41.
