Superman El Último Escape (meaning "Superman: Ultimate Escape") is a steel D. H. Morgan Manufacturing roller coaster that opened at Six Flags México on November 19, 2004.[1] [2]
Superman El Último Escape was originally supposed to be open in 2002, but this was delayed when construction stopped during a two-year dispute between Six Flags and the Mexican government. Work resumed in 2004 and the ride opened on November 19 of that year.[1]
Upon its opening, Superman El Último Escape set records for the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Latin America.[2]
On December 28, 2020, the Park's Twitter account said that the ride would close-down permanently. This was later revealed to be a prank for the Mexican Day of the Holy Innocents.[3]
The station and boarding area are in a semi-shaded, forested area with trees. Upon leaving the station, riders travel forward approximately 6 meters (20’) before immediately descending a small, roughly 3–5 m (10-15’) drop. They then ascend a small “bunny hill” which leads into another brief drop, this one curving to the right. The train then climbs up a small slope and enters into a pre-lift hill brake run, to reduce stress on the ride. After a very small drop down and a left-hand turn, riders begin to ascend the 67 m (220’) lift hill. The ride officially begins as trains plunge down the 62 m (205’) first drop at an angle of about 60°. At the bottom of the drop, the ride reaches its top speed of 112.6 km/h (70 mph) as the trains briefly pass through a covered section of track, ascend the first large camelback airtime hill, and descend down another drop, this time veering to the left. They then climb a smaller slope and come down into a helix section, still veering left. The train then crests the second camelback airtime hill, followed by a drop veering to the right into another small helix; riders then briefly enter into the midcourse brake-run. After descending another drop from the brake section, riders crest a pair of back-to-back airtime bunny-hills. They then turn to the right slightly, then left, and enter the final brakes at the station.
