Superman – Ride of Steel, Bowie

Superman – Ride of Steel are steel roller coasters located at two different Six Flags parks in the United States, including Six Flags America in Woodmore, Maryland, and Six Flags Darien Lake in Darien, New York. At Six Flags Darien, the coaster was renamed Ride of Steel in 2006, dropping Superman from the name. Both hypercoasters, manufactured by Intamin, are mirror-image and opened a year apart, beginning with the Darien Lake installation in May 1999 followed by Six Flags America in May 2000. They are 208 feet tall, feature a drop length of 205 feet, and reach a maximum speed of 73 mph. A roller coaster with a similar name, Superman the Ride, opened at Six Flags New England in 2000 but features a significantly different layout. ()
