Superman Escape

Superman Escape is an Intamin Accelerator Coaster at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

By August 2005, the launch track was constructed in addition to support for the ride's first element, a top hat.

With the roller coaster's construction completed in October, the focus turned to theming and landscaping before the ride's official opening on 26 December 2005.

[4] During construction the ride was heavily marketed in print, television, radio, online, in-park and outdoor advertising.

[3] The ride reaches a height of 40 metres (130 ft) with riders experiencing 3.2 times the force of gravity.

[9] The theming in the show building prior to Superman Escape's launch was developed by local Gold Coast firm, FX Illusions.

Many special effects follow such as gas mains bursting, a pumping station blowing resulting in a flood and collapsing walls.

The train then speeds up and over the first camel hump before briefly entering the second story of the ride's station building for a sharp left hand turn.

Upon exiting the building riders enter the second camel hump, which creates a headchopper effect with the first.
