Superman El Último Escape (meaning "Superman: The Last Escape") is a steel D. H. Morgan Manufacturing roller coaster currently operating at Six Flags México, since November 19, 2004.[1][2]

History

Superman El Último Escape in the background.

Superman El Último Escape was originally supposed to be open in 2002, but construction stopped during a two-year dispute between Six Flags and the Mexican government. Work resumed in 2004, and the ride opened later that year.[1]

Since opening, Superman El Último Escape, took the records for the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Latin America.[2]

Ride

Riders are taken out of the station and go through followed by a right hand turnaround, then a left curve, and a straightaway. The train then goes into a braking section, followed small pre-drop to reduce stress to the brakes, then a left hand turn that leads riders up the lift hill. Once falling down the first drop, the train will then build up seventy-five miles an hour of speed by the time it reaches the base of the pull-out fifteen feet above the ground. While riding the coaster the train will go on another 41-metre (135 ft) hill and two 360 degree helix's. The train then goes into a series of bunny hills followed by a brake run followed by a left hand turn that returns riders back into the station.[2]
