Superman Escape Ride - Movie World (Gold Coast)

[ILYcoconutz]

I went on this ride it was fantastic! I was so scared but I decided to go on it anyway and I loved it! If you don't go on it you will regret it!

[cutebluesky155]

My friend made a bet and i had to do it or she will tell my friend the most embarresing moment of my life

[iluvjbhifi]

i thought i was gonna die before the ride or pee my pants and i went on it and i loved it but still was freaking out but AN AWESOME RIDE!!!:D

[timmyscooter]

i was soo scared at the start of this ride my harness came unclipped nearly died but they checked it again before i went out i was so relieved wen they were checing it the ride was awsomeee

[RYNO2511]

fuckin love this ride

[Afterfield]

only one downside to this ride... The 45 minute wait to get on!

[JOKAWILD26]

@Afterfield 45 mins aint shit,,, i live in california and when i go to disneyland or six flags,, theirs likes about 3 hours long,, yea 3 hours ,,, so 45 mins sounds good to me,, thats short

[Afterfield]

@JOKAWILD26 We have 3 theme parks. One of which is the only one with coasters. Your parks are also several times larger and packed with a lot more to do. And if the lines were 3 hours long, you would only get to ride around 3 rides in a day?

[JOKAWILD26]

@Afterfield exactly,, but depends on the ride,, some are like one hour, some 2 hours, some are real long like 3 hours,, but you usually ride about 5 rides in a day,, at disneyland,, ,, cuz the lines are so long for each ride,, the indiana jones ride is allways a 3 hour wait,, six flags is a lil better, but they have real long lines their too, like when i went on batman, it was about allmost 2 hours, to get thru that line

[Afterfield]

@JOKAWILD26 How much does it cost to get in to the parks over in the US? If that's all you could do over here, it would be a pretty big waste of money.

[JOKAWILD26]

@Afterfield DisneyLand is the most expensive,, that one cost about $75.00 U.S. i dont kno the different in currency in U.S. money and Austrailian money,, but it cost 75 bucks a ticket over here for disneyland,, Six Flags cost about 60 a ticket,, then u allways got the parking fee too,, which is about 10.. yupp,, theme parks are expensive, and lines are long,, especially during the summer when tourist come from other countries, best time to go for locals is during FALL, or early Spring

[Afterfield]

@JOKAWILD26 75? lucky. Cost more than double that here. Need to buy own theme park so we don't wait in lines!

@Gahman900

subtle racism is very damaging to peoples lives. Reconsider your need to

try  to put others down or stereotype groups of people.

[SASKUEakaRIAAN]

they were buliding this when i went

[Rebecca2321]

i went there at age 11 I FREAKED but i didnt go on the superman escape cuz it looked soooo scary

in the scooby doo ride you dropped down backwards but i still went on it 4 times:)

[Konfliktful]

awww last time i went to Movie world, this ride wasn't there :( I was thirteen then and it woulda been SO MUCH FUN!

[DXRunescape]

love that ride..

[kiwichopz]

and how cheesy is it that the two front people high fived eachother lol @ :48

[blackychan195]

i remember i went on it 9 times in a row lol its so good

[redbluestudios]

@blackychan195 ha beat ya :) 13 times in a row! and 24 times overall!!!

[blackychan195]

@redbluestudios yea well u cant help go on it that many times lol it so fun

[DobbeySock]

ive been here many times and i h8 it how (well, i havent been on it coz im too chicken but wateva) you hav to wait as your other friends go line up for the superman and the 'superman' theme song keeps playing, continously. I hate it soo much...

[jjaagg11]

i know hey??? but dont worry they have some pretty cheesy theme music playin on a 60sec loop in the queue aswell!!! drives u insane after just 5mins!!!

[Jesse4Jezza]

I went on it when I was 9. I loved it soooo much. I ended going on it twice, great thrill.

[lakebear08]

if you get a chance to go to the US, go to a six flags and you will realise how bad this coaster is, Leathal Weapon is the only coaster in Australia that comes close to what they have over there.

[rollercoasterfan97]

dude you have it totally wrong.

its the other way around.

please do me a favour and never ever again say that lethal weapon is what coasters are like in america.

thats creating a name for america that is shameful. Superman Escape and Tower of Terror are the only rides close to what America has, if you need proof, both of them are manufactured by intamin and i think thats proof enough. Lethal Weapon on the other hand.........Vekoma product (shivers in fear)

[redbluestudios]

@lakebear08 this coaster is a thrill. the one at dreamworld called the giant drop is the best tho

[Ashleystarrocks]

@redbluestudios i agree wif u

[h44512]

it wasnt built when i was there :(

[themasterpiece95]

i was on that ride last thursday...

it's kinda scary...

[Scared65]

dont feel bad bro i was on it this thursday i was screaming and staring at the ground all the 30 seconds u know what scared me the most the huge fucking drop it feels like ur not even on the tracks and makes me kinda not want to have super powers

[liverpool3976]

i wish i was back on this ride :(

[hcram]

so much fun!

[purtell6]

it is pretty scary

[ThatGirlEm]

i dont remember this bein there when i was there ):

looks feckin rad though (Y)

[SuperSamegirl]

suzh a good ride

[FluroUndiez]

IM ON THAT RIDE OMFG!

[harevaden]

when i went tu gold coast i really really scared off this ride, altough i don't ride it. it's really scared

[FairyFoxesFanXoXo]

i hate rollercoster and this is the only one i went on i was hiding my head wasnt back lol

[skatebiz09]

im 11 and i went on that when i was nine i have been on most of the scary rides liket super man escape giant drop leathel weapon batwing tower of tearor the claw cyclone surf rider cork screw and the jet rescue and many more

[YNsoccerPR0]

well u missed on wipe out

[JayemanAndLachboy]

You must have been a tall 9 year old or I was a short 8 year old. I tried when I was 8 and they said I was too short, that was kinda a relief because I almost crapped my pants.

And the only really scary rides out of those are the giant drop and tower of terror, the other ones are just fun!

[lozenge18]

omg best ride i went on it 5 times

being at the frint is awesome

[Prank483]

I went on it and when the part when you fallon the high thing. the thing stoped for like 5 mins. and then it went.

[cudpus]

im only 10 years old i went on it when i was 9 it was awesome

[TehCookieStealer]

that is SO fun

[oxKaylaa2xo]

That ride looks AWESOME!

I want to go on it

[liveItPivot]

I went on superman escape, it was amazing. You go so fast, that you don't even lose your stomach.

[Buffhead1]

lol my lil borther just mkes the cut for that ride and he shit himself on it XD lol

[jedidude04]

this ride is fun :DDD 100k/h in 2 sec :DDD

[ddspur3twin]

i went no hands on this the whole way

[burton41896]

looks kinda like the stormrunner at hershey park

[rollercoasterfan97]

yeah, but that SHITS on this. storm runner is SOO much better than any crap australia has to offer

[mengpat]

I love it!, went on it like 6 times lol till its about to close.

[tashhhhhhh]

does anyone no what the crowds are like at movieworld at the moment?

[james23suhan]

because of the school holidays and nsw holidays, i have passes and i go there all the time and its pretty packed, but the superman line is not that long because the train car comes to the station so quickley, lol

[FlashPointGaming]

I was there like 3 days ago they are big ish. For Superman escape we waited 20 minutes i think but that was at the end of the day. Most likely 40-An hour if you go mid day. Thats the same for most rides.

[rollercoasterfan97]

boooooooooring !!

not fast not tall it lasts for 20 seconds. if you have a coaster that short it has to be as thrilling as TTD or KK

[Jagjaxon]

dude its like 100mph

[rollercoasterfan97]

yeah but it takes 7 seconds to reach that speed. if it did something else it'd be good, but it just goes up then down. like i said b4 when you have a coaster that short, it needs to be as thrilling as KK or TTD, you know? even then some people complain about those two being too short

[Jagjaxon]

no it takes 1 second to reach it u obviously have not been on it plus it has 9 G force

[rollercoasterfan97]

hahahaha......how embarassing for you.

you are definetly wrong, Tower of Terror takes 7 seconds to reach its top speed. there is no such launch coaster that even has an acceleration of 1 second....the fastest in the world is dodonpa with 1.8 seconds, so you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, and if you did you would know that the highest coaster level of g-force on ANY coaster is 6.3. and that if you reached 9 you would TOTALLY blackout. once u reach 7 you start to fade

[SmexiBryher]

I LOVED THIS RIDE!!! its the best damn one i have EVER been on! XD im going to movie world at the end of this year, YAY !

[rollercoasterfan97]

you obviously havent been on much, lol

[LazeyBum]

what kind of rollercoaster fan are you tower of terror is boooorrringgg its top speed is 75k/ph and your rite it takes 7 sec to reach that speed now with superman at movie world it reaches 100k/ph in 2 sec with the travelling speed of 110-115k/ph ur rite its short but if it was any longer it would reach up to 6-7 g force then it would be consided un safe cause every1 would pass out.

[rollercoasterfan97]

okay you have like absolutely no idea what your talking about. tower of terrors top speed is 160 km. the superman does not increase in speed after the launch. it is impossible for a coaster with a 30 metre drop (especially after a top hat) to reach speeds of 115km and i assure you just because a coaster is shorter doesnt mean the g force is lower. the longer a coaster goes for doesnt mean it increases with g force. if u dont beleive any of that, ask someone else and continue to embarass yourself

[LazeyBum]

i have more of an idea of wat im talking about then u my dad is co-owner of movie wrld so he woulnt lie bout rides like u do!well to reply to that i guess u should feel shameful as if tower of terror could reach 160km it has no second launch so hw could it reach a speed like that free falling yes its a free falling ride not magniitized like superman thats how it can reach a speed of 110k-115k

[rollercoasterfan97]

you idiot, you have no idea what you're talking about. tower of terror does reach 160 km/h, theres an identical ride, superman the escape at six flags magic mountain that does the exactly same thing. its 0-100 mph (which is 160kph) in 7 seconds. go look it up you idiot. tower of terror IS powered by magnets and superman escape is a hydraulic coaster, it doesnt use LIM/LSM system to accelerate it, only stop it. supermans top speed is its lanuch is is 100k. go learn whats right

[JayemanAndLachboy]

No I don't think the tower of terror is by magnets, It just gets a giant launch and keeps going, I just uses magnets to stop.

[rollercoasterfan97]

it uses the same magnets to propel and stop the train. its a LIM/LSM system

[Promusicritic]

i went on it lyk 100 tims and the first time was a little scary, but i luved ut! If u go go on it its th e best

[cvs1012]

lol its nothing compared to top thrill dragster 0-120 mph and its 420 feet high

[Gazza2]

But its still fun to ride....plus it has airtime hills, which is always a good thing.

[teakle22]

I went on this ride it scared the hell out of me the first time but i wanted to go on it more and more

[mikejons95]

It's weird, when i went on this ride before the launch, i already saw superman behind it before there was even any trouble --"

[shawtey1986]

yawn. type in "top thrill dragster" to see a real launch rollercoaster.

[Lethalspear]

i will be going there in 2 weeks

[turd4me]

i waited 2 hours in line to go on this, AND IT WAS WORTH IT

[Kookaburra14]

that is the best ride!!! i was dying on it lol

[callumrules34]

im going o that soon

[hand0ftime]

Was that Superman in the back of the train? That's creative to make it seem like superman's pushing the ride. :P

[papersimon]

yeah its actually sposed to be a subway train...the ride starts underground in the subway and an earthquake happens and the train stops before the launch. you hear superman come in and say that he's gonna save you and that the only way out is up then, bang 100 kmph in 4 secs up the hill.

[SarahBabyYeww]

100kmph in 2 seconds.

[papersimon]

Whatever, lol, regardless it still gets fucking fast really quick.

[nichlsonstu]

went on it like 10 times

[billdawg0003]

i luv that ride

[Seanminator99]

yo !

[bomgovau]

That ride rocks!

[spinebreaker1]

ok !
