[I’m Supermaaaaan!](http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/Rides/superman.asp?id=rides) Your almost laying flat on your stomach and then you stick your arms out just like the guy in really tight blue tights. I’m just a really big kid. Who else is? ---

Rode it 5 times straight here in Atlanta. It is a very fun ride. I would highly recommend not chewing gum while on the ride. I didn’t really think that all the way through before the ride took off. My gum never had a chance. But, it is a blast to ride. The back of the ride whips around a bit more but the front obviously has a nice, unimpeded view. ---

I wasn’t all that impressed with the one in Six Flags GA. I prefer my coasters to have a good stomach flipping dip, but I never got that off of Superman. But yes, it was a neat different experience. Just not something I’d wait an hour for again (even with Q-bot.) ---

Great, a ride where I can stare at the ass of the person in front of me the whole time. Where do I sign up? ---

I’m guessing that Maryland is not in the northeast then because there is one of those in the Six Flags in the DC area. I like it and all but I perfer normal rides. Maybe I’ve forgotten though as I’m going to Six Flags this weekend! 😃 ---

Hmm…at least when I lose my lunch, it will fall down away from me. I’ll never understand the appeal of letting a machine hurl you around like that. The two roller coasters that I’ve been on seriously ruined my day. Little is worse than a few hours of complete nausea. ---

If I had your reaction, then I’d agree. For some reason I’ve always been able to read on the mountain roads, and the only time a ride made me nauseated was right after I ate. Even then it was only a little uncomfortable. It’s not a talent, just people being different.
