Superman Ultimate Flight • Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Launch Fun Hangtime Too short

Pretty great ride. Gives many weird sensations you don’t get on many coasters. Fun launches and hang times. The cars are premier so they can be a bit cramped. Ride is also over pretty quickly.

Lap Bar Launch Hangtime

launching through the station is a neat touch that adds more to a very simple coaster

Launch Capacity Discomfort

This is probably my favorite Sky Rocket II, between the lighting effects and lack of comfort collars. Fun launches, fun layout. Just wish it had a three car train and that Premier trains didn’t just suck in general.

Launch Hangtime Capacity

This is a fun little ride! The shuttle coaster element of it makes it a really slow loader, but I found it to be enjoyable. I'm a sucker for a good launch and I love that it goes back and forth more times than you'd expect - kind of reminds me of full throttle but without as good of a launch. It's fun, but nothing incredible.

Launch Intensity Hangtime Too short Capacity

This was my first experience on a Premier Sky Rocket, and it was better than I thought. The cobra roll is intense and offers a lot of hang time, the launch is a fun surprise, and having just the lap bar makes it better than some of its counterparts. u fortunately, the low capacity and shortness of the ride brings it down for me. Expect long waits for a ride with only one train, and only 12 riders per train.

Inversions Layout Hangtime Too short

Solid coaster, highlighted by watching the train speed through the station while you wait, that slow inversion up top, and that vertical drop. Great ride. It’s pretty short, but it exceeded my expectations.

It's fine I guess. Best parts are the airtime after the third launch if you're in the front, the drop if you're in the back, and of course the slow roll at the top.

Lap Bar Launch Hangtime Too short Capacity

The original Premier Sky Rocket 2, Discovery Kingdom's Superman is fun little ride with a lot to offer. Having fun launches, both backward and forward, and a memorable heartline roll at the apex that gives great hangtime with those lapbars, this compact ride is definitely worth a ride or two. However, this install being at a larger park compared to some of the other Sky Rocket 2s out there really shows how poor the capacity of this model is. Prepare for this ride to probably have the longest wait in the park, often hitting 90-120 minutes on peak days (Which you may not really want to wait for if you've ridden 1 or more of the other Sky Rocket 2s out there, the ride experience is the exact same).

Lap Bar Launch Capacity Disappointing! Discomfort

This was the first Premier Sky Rocket ll I've ridden and, as of now, I am somewhat disappointed. The triple launch was a good start, but then starting with the twist to the top, it got very uncomfortable. All of the transitions were painful as they whip you quite hard to the side. The hangtime at the top was good, and the non-inverting loop was also fun, but the discomfort stopped me from enjoying the ride. Admittedly, I only got one ride, so I hope my opinion will change as I ride more of these. One other thing to note is that this installment, being the original, one only has two cars which makes the capacity pretty bad.
