As the 4th B&M coaster for Six Flags Great Adventure, Superman: Ultimate Flight is a near-clone of Six Flags Over Georgia's Superman: Ultimate Flight (and an exact clone of Six Flags Great America's version, which was installed the same year as this ride).  Unlike the SFOG version of the ride, this copy has a single station and can only run two trains.  However, an extra car was added to the trains to compensate for the loss in capacity.  Rumors have it the Pretzel Loop was also toned down from the 6.7G monster in SFOG.  Superman: Ultimate Flight provides a fun ride that is definately worth riding.

On a cool day in early June this had the longest line in this park (over an hour). It's twin in Georgia has had shorter
lines on one of the 3 days that I have been there. I'm just trying to give a helpful hint.

Fun ride, a lot of people hate it because it is "boring". I guess its personal preference but I dont know how. The
flying feeling is so much fun! And the Pretzel Loop gives you a feeling that can not be described! Very forceful.
However, waits are usually pretty long. This is because Loading/Unloading time seems to be pretty slow. Also a sort
ride.

I hate that half of six flags parks everywhere have at least 3 of the same roller coasters almost.

Am I the only person that really feels that this ride is underrated? The end is a little boring after the pretzel loop,
but it's a really fun and unique experience. There aren't a lot of roller coasters where you can lay on your stomach and
your back while riding. I liked it a lot.

What a pleasant ride - ah, er, um, flight. I love the pretzel loop, but wish S:UF were a little taller and faster. A
great first 'real' coaster for those afraid to move up from the kiddie variety: nothing scary - just loads of fun.

Ride was ok but i think flyers are over rated, of course I haven't been on tatsu which is supposedly the best.

The twin of this at SFOG was my first flyer. Normally that would give it extra points, but after riding Batwing, these
dropped down a little.

Wanna feel like flying? this is the ride for you, the G force on the first loop is surprising ( especially because you
get it on the way up, WEIRD ) the souvenir photo is taken when you are belly up, problem is that at end of ride, you
might wait too long to go back to station ( blood will rush to your head )

It's fun, my first fly-coaster. Yet not too long, n'or fast. It wasn't the smoothest in the park but it was still worth
it.

I give it an 8 and a half. I like how we fly, but the layout is short and you stay in the block brakes for a long time.
It's fun though.

I was a little upset with this coaster because I thought it was gonna be better. The pretzel loop was intense but that's
really the only part of the ride that's really super exciting. Still fun and my first flying coaster. (Also my 50th
coaster!) Got to ride it 4 times!

It was better than I expected and I didn't really feel as though it died after the pretzel loop as much as everyone said
it would. It was pretty intense, especially the pretzel loop, and overall it was a fun ride.

I wish it was SO much longer....After the pretzel loop...its turn turn turn, then kinda fun inline twist...the loading
is CRAP and 10 minutes after the park opens its a 2 hour wait...Lol...and def. Not worth 2 hours..MAYBE 30-45
minutes....Lol....:)

Me and my family asked a guy where the best to sit is. He replied with a short thing, "back!". Went on this twice in the
back. The pretzel loop is probably the most intense thing I've ever been on! Don't wait more than 70 minutes for this
though, because it isn't the greatest thing ever. 9/10

I only sit in the front row so it is pretty sick. The pretzel loop is really intense, but the problem is, it is too
short and it seems to be lacking something.

I was amazed how comfy the ride was, but it was also boring after the pretzel loop.

Fun ride. The pretzel loop is amazing, and the swooping overbanks are quite fun for a good sensation of flying.

It's older Brother at SFOG was a terrain coaster practically. It looks interesting, the queue looks interesting, for
goodness sake it has a tunnel. This looks like a ride where people just step in, look around, and say, "What the hell.
Put it here boys!"

I was dissapointed by S:UF. It was good, better than Air, but nothing amazingly special.

I love this ride. Alot of my friends hate it because they say it is short, boring, slow, and long wait. Granted it is
short, and the line moves slowly, but I love the lift back, the pretzel is amazing and boring?!? I love it personally,
flying through the air.

I nearly blacked out on the prezel loop! And it was fun to pass everyone in the 5 hour opening year line with a fast
pass. Ok ride, in the opening year the queue went under the majority of the ride, very cool.

The pretzel loop saves this ride. Period.

I havnt ridden S:UF since 2004, and Ive gone there alot since then! Its always got like a 2 hour line during the day,
and I havnt been at GAdv at night since 2003. It might be a while before I ride it again. It was a great ride though,
gives amazing forces on the pretzle loop, if memory serves me correctly the barrel roll is a bit slow, but its still
interesting.

I was very disappointed in this ride. The seats retracting, the ride up the lift and the pretzel loop are fun...that's
all I can say about it. It's rather dull otherwise. With nothing really around it to judge your speed, it feels VERY
VERY slow. Not worth the very long lines it usually has. If you've got the FastLane pass, try it out.

It's a fun ride, but I think it needs a little more imagination to make the most of 'flying'. If anything, it's trying
to be too intense and 'better' than Air. There's some big elements but I spent too much of my day queueing for this, and
the view is basically concrete.

Simply put this coaster was incomplete in every way. I don't want to see a parking lot and I don't want get off the ride
after the first element. Boring after the pretzel.

Short. This ride has a long loading for a short ride, and you have to hang for 5 min. in the block brakes.
