This ride wasn't that great. Well, not compared to Wicked Twister. The stop up on the back tower is kind of uncomfortable.

^ Too critical. This is a very fun ride, and the stop on the back tower is one of the most unique experiences anywhere.

I didn't care for this impulse. Wicked Twister rules over this. That stop on the back tower hurt my private parts so bad.

I actually liked this ride and that pause on the back spike was pretty cool. I think Wicked Twister is better, but this is still a solid Impulse Coaster.

Rode this the day right after I experienced Cedar Point's Wicked Twister and as you can imagine I was very underwhelmed with this one. Superman Ultimate Escape (before it was renamed Steel Venom) had these awfully uncomfortable vibrations in the seats and car that totally killed it for me. It was my third Impulse coaster, and my least favorite.
