Lex Luthor Drop of Doom Six Flags Magic Mountain POV B-Roll 2012 Drop Tower Superman

[TheRizzi2010]

Cant wait for it to open

[MCfilms13]

they should hold you up there longer thats what makes the ride scary

[lunita]

This is America's plan for controlling over population.

[JasonScottVids]

CAN"T  WAITE!!!

[User85871]

ill ride that fucker

[VidaARTS]

Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom - 400 feet (AMERICA) Giant Drop - 377 feet (AUSTRALIA) Big Tower- 328 feet (BRAZIL) La Venganza del Enigma- 328 feet(SPAIN) AtmosFear- 300 feet(SWEDEN)

now i no we Americans like to be the best at everything, but making a ride a few more feet to break a record is so cheap same thing as big drop just maybey five more seconds of agony........-.-

[Jakester523]

Thumbs up if you can't wait to ride this!

[playboydady1]

Huge ass drop I almost died u r so high up I kicked my shoe off and it hit an old lady in the face cause she was looking up lmfao

[dianniscool]

who are they trying to kill?? i have a hard enough time riding the one at California adventure

[fizzywizzy122]

@headcrusher115 I've been on the Power Tower 2 drop tower 220ft but i can't handle this or the the giant drop.

[SilveriLoza7]

The Giant Drop at Dreamworld is like a couple meters shorter and was built first. I'd rather ride The Giant Drop than this complete copy. A couple meters won't change anything...

[mamitsumamits]

@SilveriLoza7

1,000s of miles apart, in fact, oceans apart. The Giant Drop is built for Australian folks. This is for the folks of Southern California and any other thrill seeker welcomed to face their fears!!!

[theknexrock]

im going on this in may and im 10 and im not afraid ive been on superman like 5 times so i can on lex luthor

[yfz01]

@theknexrock you keep telling yourself that. 

[mquiroz90]

Looks cool its a mystery where the line will be

[1234michael12341]

i dont get whats so scary?? dreamworlds one is like 3 metres shorter and everyone is freaking out over this?

[lol0924]

Seems like you have to ride Drop of Doom if you want to get the real thrill as it goes 1.1 times higher than Superman in full speed, clearing a straight part to the sky! ;-)

[FTWMoonwalker]

Dreamworld has this ride, and the reason the tower of terror doesn't go to the top is because it has trim brakes, so it doesn't rattle up the cords in giant drop, does that mean they will have to do the same thing???

[theknexrock]

@FTWMoonwalker mabye not cuz they got more advanced stuff . but when giant drop was built, they didnt have the same technolagy as they do nowadays

[FTWMoonwalker]

@theknexrock probably it says it has the same system... :|

[MCfilms13]

i wish i lived close enough to ride this it looks like so much fun

[GINAS19]

supreme scream X2 free fallx20 fuck its on!

[kSheps1]

@MartinD6s Acually dreamworlds allready done this exactly the same thing

[kSheps1]

@66Metallicaman66 It aint bad theres 1 in dreamworld exactly the same thing just look up tha vid

[WackoJackoLmfao]

I Can just see a accident waiting to happen With this lol...

[AlexanderSmall]

they really shouldn't be operating it in a thunderstorm

[gevo223]

dude they copied tower of terror in dreamworld :P but who cares its awesome :)

[unclec333brother]

415ft drop

[razzathomas]

Copy off giant drop much :L

[Yurface1124]

Oh hell nah thats like a 400 foot drop and its a free fall(;

[yourgrandma19]

man everyone is gonna go death from superman

[SurfNinja67]

This drop scares me anyone else nervous about this ride makes me wanna jizz in my pants!

[jordanb7624]

FUCK YES!!!!

[66Metallicaman66]

Okay, so yeah. I'm used to being only about 2-3 seconds that high...

But that high then FREE FALLING when least expected?!

WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!

[rocafella142]

@66Metallicaman66 You got some balls man lol. Imma be scared shitless to get on this ride.

[TenthAmendmentIssues]

It's a junk!! No way am I getting on that!

[RawrRaver0808]

I would so go on this but i would probably cry when I'm at the top

[basshuntersuckscock]

Seems legit.

[brockzanlove]

how high is this?! :O

[Stealthmuiz]

@brockzanlove the drop of doom is over 400ft. high.

[MartinD6s]

As soon as I saw the superman tower, I sighed and thought they'd done something like change the cars again. But holy sh...I didn't see this coming! That looks insane, what a huge step for tower rides! Look at Goliath too! It looks like a little kids toy in the background

[chakachakalive]

@MartinD6s They recently flipped the cars around on the Superman, so you go out in reverse, and come in looking straight down at the ground. Love it.

[MartinD6s]

@chakachakalive I heard, can't imagine how that would feel! Sadly I don't get to go around the world and try out rides like this - just stuck in Blackpool with The Big One so I don't get anything thrilling xD

[andrewbarrett42]

@MartinD6s I,ve been to magic mountain and it has the best rollercoasters ever,Blackpool is nothing compared to these rides.

[WackoJackoLmfao]

Love that they just stuck it on the sides of Superman ride.

[rocafella142]

@WackoJackoLmfao Superman was always meant to have this ride built on the side of it. If you didn't notice the sides of it are one long track. The same guys that made Superman made a ride before it called Tower of Terror in Dreamworld. It's the exact same thing as Superman and it has a dropping ride like Lex Luther attached to the sides.

[mrniceguy22100]

i cant stand it when people say this ride was copied by this. do people complain that there are more than 1 boomerang roller coasters? do people complain when there are hundreds of wild mouse coaster around the world? do people complain when there is more than 1 b&m coaster? i think not but just because for NOW theres only 2 coasters like this. but in 20 years thers gonna be 50 of these type of rides and everyones gonna be like o yeah whatevr hust another free fall ride which is stupid.

[nyanjazzcatWHAT]

wow o.o they an't kidding THat's pretty high

[123LexLuthor]

FUCK YES I WILL RIDE THE SHIT OUTTA THAT

[1234michael12341]

thats exactly the same as the one at dreamworld australia except it only has one tower!!

[kahlan2727]

@1234michael12341 yeah. i went on it. scary as hell

[headcrusher115]

i can handle a 200 ft drop tower easy, but this is just insane...like griffin x10

[burnsfamilyqld]

went on the giant drop today.....would love to go on this for an extra 20 m height would be mad fun....as for who copied who.......WHO CARES as long as we get totally mental rides isnt that the main thing???

[EatRiceTV]

i went on ttd so i know what to expect, my name is lex too!

[tuneche1088462]

the bad thing is ur gonna hear all the superman noise while u go up even more

[thebeastengineer]

For all you idiots out there, amusement parks (excluding disney parks) don't design their own roller coasters. They ask a roller coaster design company to make an exciting or mild rollercoaster in a given amount of land. Then the park names the ride. The manufacturer owns the ride design and has the right to do with it whatever they want. Never blame an amusement park for running out of ideas.

[LiAM113D]

Australia made this WAAY before yes, but Six Flags can do the same.. ? But WOOAH IS THAT THING FRICKEN CRAZILY HIGH OR WHAT ?!?! GOD DAMN ! hahaha

[AlexanderLycke]

American people are stupid

[crazyangelo123]

@AlexanderLycke you suck and im american we have democracy freedom justice and hell scary rollercoaster rides and what do you have ?

[MegaXwillx]

@AlexanderLycke dont hate cuz ur country dont have shit

[Sk8teCrew23]

Wheres the line gonna be for it ?

[TheUNofficialNHL]

@Sk8teCrew23 on Magic Mountain's website, it says it will be located in Samurai Summit.. but that would be a hella long walk to get to the tower.

[raayymarr08]

Who gives a crap who created what first. If you guys wanna' get all technical then you must realize that Disney was the FIRST to create a steel-coaster; so does that mean every park is a copy cat, INCLUDING Dreamworld?! Besides, so what if this ride along with the one in Australia are the same, have you idiots ever considered that it could possibly be produced by the same manufacturer? Because you know, that's what businesses do to gain money-- take successful creations elsewhere?! Gah'damn.

[ThriLLerQueen1989]

I'm totally going to ride this.... and probably shit myself xD I CANT WAIT!

[Davidnstarj]

Well if Six Flags really copyed other rides then it was mayby that they ran out of ideas or couln,t think of any ride to do so they decided to look up some rides,by the way they should be like clones of it like Batman:The Ride,so quit aguring about Six Flags!

[tormentor4000]

These "Ideas" aren't the parks.  They'e the ride manufacturers!

[colonelboston]

Yo, fuck that!

[rckid9512]

Lyk OH M GEE! They toats copyd dreamworld in Austria!

[TheeStreetDream]

they are going to DIE.

[mamitsumamits]

X2 was the first of its kind in the U.S., then Japan created their own with Eejanaika. The argument of 'copy' or 'same' has no relevance especially when it involves countries like Australia and Japan which are thousands of miles away from SFMM. 99% of SFMM park goers will say Dreamworld? Fuji-Q Highland?.....where's that?.....never heard of it.

[Snowiethebunny]

omg that theme park is copying dreamworlds tower of terror and giant drop shame on them :(

[mamitsumamits]

@Snowiethebunny

Seriously, do you think the American GP is gonna care or notice? Australia has their version, why is it a shame the U.S. can't have one also?

[aznguymetal]

@Snowiethebunny Its call business, ignorance person.

[97andyg]

i think this idea is stupid

[allykap]

Yes I know it's almost the same as tower of terror/giant drop but that's in Australia. So People don't have to go to Australia for this. Oh and don't call me a bad word cuz I'm only ten

[Twinkie7562]

I cant wait for this ride! And I heard that there getting rid of Deja vu? And Six flags isn't copying anybody! There original and have great roller coasters! And six flags magic mountain has the FIRST LOOP roller coaster! And lots of parks have loop rides, so there stealing magic mountains ideas XD

[calliboi619]

@Twinkie7562 We have alot of record breaking rides so sfmm is always winning in my eyes :) lol in my opinion i thinks this is the best one in the nation for six flags and maybe amusement parks in general...cedar point is a close second

[kalvinsakiller]

@Twinkie7562 that sucks cause i LOVED Deja Vu =[

[DsturbedFan728]

this is just a double Tower of Terror/Giant Drop. why cant Six Flags come up with their own shit

[greenday61892]

@DsturbedFan728 Errr.... these rides are classic. Why can't you think of a creative/intelligent comment?

[DsturbedFan728]

@greenday61892 i did give an intelligent comment. i stated the fact that its a double TOT/Giant Drop

[greenday61892]

@DsturbedFan728 Because drop towers aren't incredibly prominent across the world so naturally Six Flags stole from those two specifically.

[mamitsumamits]

@DsturbedFan728

Who the fuck from L.A. is gonna know about Tower of Terror/Giant Drop?? Australia is thousands of miles away from SFMM!

[DsturbedFan728]

@mamitsumamits dude im from New York and i know about TOT and Giant Drop

[mamitsumamits]

@DsturbedFan728

dude New York is not L.A. And fyi, X2, Tatsu, Goliath, Viper, Revolution are 'firsts' or 'originals'.

[TheTrew96]

superman doesnt go that high up the tower does it? (0:04)

[dizneyking]

@TheTrew96 it doesnt



[mamitsumamits]

@TheTrew96

Very close to....type this to see: First Test Ride of the new SUPERMAN: ESCAPE FROM KRYPTON

[crazee4mm]

Although this is a computer animated clip, I like how few cars Six Flags put in the parking lot in this video. Must be an off day.

[Dalton17608011749]

Magic Mountain......

You Fuckin Crazy

[NoLimitzki]

85 mph for a drop tower? Holy fuck.

[bronluke123456]

Its the biggest one... By 10 feet

[jjyoyo3000]

copy of tower of terror and giant drop in dreamworld

[jmangalessons]

I can't wait till the ride gets stuck 415 feet high! I'd love to see how they get down..just saying.

[ig288]

It is only seven meters higher than The Giant Drop at Dreamworld;

But it's always good to have more than one :D

[Mijo102]

Dreamworld ain't got shit on superman or this ride who cares if they copied this one is still better GOML

[Twinkie7562]

This ride looks sick but is magic mountain gonna build a ride where Deja vu used to be? Because wouldn't that be a waste of land

[EpicLama]

@Twinkie7562 deja vu is still there

[SLAAMIT]

@Twinkie7562 deja vu is still their

[musicarrigo]

I don't get the fights about parks steeling records from other parks and copying parks. Parks try to be the best at evorything. You cant copy anything unless it has the same name and the EXACT same disign. Lets just enjoy the rides and have fun at every park. Also if they copy one of your favorate rides, that means you have 2 of them to ride!!!

[pepperedwithlegacy]

Oh, that's cool! Building a ride onto a ride. That's a pretty badass idea. But I do wonder how stable it would be @_@

[annshshs]

I can imagine going up that high while the superman ride is making it shake.

[mayfairproductions]

Such copycats..." Let's make it 1.9 metres taller then Dreamworld's Giant Drop just to steal the record"... Seriously your not going to notice the difference lol!

[dorkycool013]

@mayfairproductions

How do you know they were doing this just to copy dreamworld? Oh yea you dont.

[kSheps1]

@dorkycool013 um yeah ya kind of r. Heres a timeline of copys. 1997 Tower of Terror opened, 2 months later Superman open. 2010 Tower of Terror 2 opened, 2011 Superman Krypton opened. Then 1999 Giant Drop opened and in 2012 this one will opened. The Dreamworld Tower is where this all started so it just proves that ya cant come up with ur own ideas. Plus Superman is just a failed copy of Tower of Terror!

[TheRokstar13]

@kSheps1 ya but magic mountain makes it better because tower of terror 2 dosent even go to the top and this one has a longer drop 5 seconds long and giant drop is a four secong long drop that proves you wrong

[Sparlzy]

@kSheps1 Its not like we created the rides, if we did only then will I be pissed that the yanks had copied us. But because Intamin are a European company (dont quote me on that), Im not, and nor should anyone be worried about who built it first

[Lilgonzo23]

@toogutztv wat about the noise from super man and when the superman goes up the tower its raddles so i think its bad to put it their

[cool244644]

That look so cool

[Lilgonzo23]

They should put that where deja vu is at bc deja vu is moving to new enlgand

[TooGutzTV]

@Lilgonzo23 no they shouldnt ! it messes up the themed areas and it only makes since to put that ride on Superman because Lex Luthor is his biggest enemy. they can put another roller coaster where Deja Vu is.

[matrex413]

Now THAT'S innovation.

[silverblue008]

DUDE....tatsu and X2 are BARELY 200ft..........I wanna ride this.

[Coaster123ification]

Will superman be closed for the construction of the 2 towers?

[taciceman]

@Coaster123ification nope

[zanescootzz]

STOP COPYING DREAMWORLD AUSTRALIA!!!!!!

[Dreamsthrea]

@zanescootzz shut up

THEY DID NOT COPY DREAMWORLD AUSTRALIA.

THIS RIDE IS BUILT AT THE SIDE OF A ROLLERCOASTER, NOT ON A TOWER!!!!

[zanescootzz]

@Dreamsthrea OK LET ME TELL YOU THE FULL STORY. IN 1997 DREAMWORLD DECIDED TO MAKE THE TOWER OF TERROR WHICH IS JUST LIKE SUPERMAN ESCAPE FROM KRYPTON BUT IT GOES FOWARD. THEN THEY JUST HAD A TOWER STANDING THERE, SO , IN 1998 THEY DECIDED TO MAKE THE GIANT DROP ALONG WITH THE TOWER OF TERROR RIGHT BESIDE IT. THEN LAST YEAR IN SEPTEMBER THEY DECIDED TO MAKE THE TOWER OF TERROR 2 WHICH IS JUST IN REVERSE. SO DID YOU COPY US NOW????

[Dreamsthrea]

@zanescootzz oh wow you have anger problems, calm down dude

[vanessa1234596]

wtf they removing deja vu >:[ my favorite ride oh and im nvr going on that shit

[dalecanonrock]

Deja vu > this.... man, I'm disappointed they're removing deja vu....

[freshhkidd123]

How the he'll are the gonna do that :D

[jgarcia6859]

@DrDirtyMinded there's nothing that says they can't

[jgarcia6859]

@DrDirtyMinded So? Whats wrong with beating a record it's not illegal!

[DrDirtyMinded]

@LemusFamilyof5 I would love to go to Six Flags, I will say it is better than dreamworld. But this is obviously to get the record for biggest drop tower. It's only just higher than dreamworld's drop tower. Plus dreamworld had the ginat drop on the side first, way back in 1998.

[Coasternator]

@LemusFamilyof5 Not choosing sides i like SFMM as much as the next guy but most of those facts are wrong...It does have a drop tower way before superman it went backwards before superman and it also is the same size and speed plus it was introduced first so yes yes and yes. Research dude seariously.

[badcomany10]

@Coasternator dude stop being a dumbass seriously, ToT is not the same size as superman its 377 ft tall while superman is 415 ft so yes yes yes research dude seriously*

[Coasternator]

@badcomany10 Ok i was wrong one time and you get all buthurt jeese and you are the dumbass i was right for everything except that.

[MADLOLZ1208]

so they're getting rid of deja vu? D: i heard were getting pandemonium from new england.

[Davidnstarj]

I cant wait to ride that in 2012!

[DrDirtyMinded]

Let's play how much can Six flags MM rip off Dreamworld. :/

[Jiley97]

how can they made this videos

[r4nd0m10]

0:24 Why does the height looks like 500m!?

[Lakersfilms]

What happens if you die on this ride?

[RCT3vaughn0055]

@Lakersfilms Good question! I would assume that they would remove you from the harness and call an EMT, but I'm not sure.....

[Mijo102]

It feels good to live in LA

[chrisvav1]

@DCFilmsStudio i know but sfmm is the one that decided to put the drop tower on the side (after over 10 years) so it is the intamin that came up with the idea but it is the park that has decided to put it in

[johnnysanderstv]

18 coasters then. I'm happy that 6flags is stepping it up

[RollerCoastersRule1]

See, but when Superman goes, the red section moves back and forth, so, That will be interesting. :D Lol

[johnnysanderstv]

@RollerCoastersRule1 they will prolly stabilize it a bit more, and yeah noticed that tooo

[Coaster123ification]

So superman when will superman close when constructing the lex luthor towers?

[skeeterjackbug]

1rd

[midgetman82]

This looks insanely fun. I love Intamin drop towers.

[mrfreakshow5681]

NO WAY that awesome

[maddancer1002]

I wonder how many people will go deaf when Superman passes by them.

[edgurrr]

@maddancer1002 lol it is extremely LOUD. i hate passing under that isshh

[willisjohn14]

@maddancer1002 YOU RIGHT ITS LOUD AS HELL

[kdderosa]

@XenoCloo I know, and it looks awesome!

[dughmo]

that is going to be the sickest ride there its definatley gonna beat x2

[coasternut3091]

@XenoCloo wrong tower of terror

[randomkid602055]

go to my channel and youll c a video that has all the new rides in all six flags.. u hav to click on the link on the desription

[randomkid602055]

cool

[fire2box]

I'm glad SFMM will finally have a drop tower. I guess if I can get myself on this I'll be able to ride anything.

[chrisvav1]

they finally took after Dreamworld :)

[yfz01]

Wow, that looks incredible. Magic Mountain is making a strong push Cedar Point - 2013 better be something ridiculous! Cant imagine the thrill a 400 foot INTAMIN tower will be.

[p0wn4g31]

I cant imagine free falling from 420ft.....

[codyshow1]

dang six has a lot of money putting all this rides in there parks

[T4L25]

Hmmmmmmm....Why do I feel like I'm in Australia right now?!?!?

[kdderosa]

Now SFMM is truly competing with Tower Of Terror II.

[TH3b3st7]

whyd they take out de ja vu then

[mamitsumamits]

@TH3b3st7

Deja Vu is going to another SF park. Rumor has it, this will be the area for the 2013 attraction.

[Psyclonechoaskid]

@mamitsumamits This will be on the sides of Superman

[mamitsumamits]

@Psyclonechoaskid

Yes, Lex Luthor: DoD will be on the sides of Superman: EFK in 2012. The new attraction for 2013 is rumored to be in the area Deja Vu sits on as well as the cleared area next to it, formerly for Mr. Six Dance coaster (now Road Runner Express in the park's Bugs Bunny World).

[Psyclonechoaskid]

@mamitsumamits I heard its a rumored to be a launch coaster! or a Dive

[mamitsumamits]

@Psyclonechoaskid

Yeh, I can see something like the upcoming Superman: Ultimate Flight (SFDK) going in that area, but bigger! Load capacity will suck big time though with 1 train, 12 seater like in the video. Even if they could load 2 trains in the station it still would be only 24. Deja Vu has at least 32 seater train.

[hunterio56]

@mamitsumamits I heard there removing deja vu with Pandemonium from six flags united kingdom. so stupid that there doing that but also good that there bring a monster to the park

[DudeDie222]

@hunterio56 You mean Six Flags New England? And Pandemonium is not going anywhere.

[hunterio56]

@DudeDie222 oh i heard something like that
