Although this is a fun ride, it breaks down a lot, the line seems to move very slowly, and I've heard that the original is much better. Great Adventure probably should have built this with two stations like the one in Georgia, and have made 3 trains. That would at least improve capacity.

The wait was not worth it at all, but otherwise the ride was okay.

This ride is very popular but not worth the wait. I only waited 2 hours for it because I had to kill time. Unless there are no lines, or you have FastLane, don't waste your time.

I've never been on a coaster where you lay down before...what does it feel like? I didn't get a chance to go on it because the line was way too long and there were other rides I wanted to go on.

EWWWW SUPERMAN ULTIMATE FLIGHT SUCKS! all 3 of them...I had to wait 2 hours for it just for the ride credit. Otherwise, I would rather ride Great American Scream Machine and Rolling Thunder than go back on Superman.

I love this ride. I just can't understand why people don't like it.

Totally sucks. The first loop is intense, and very fun. The rest of the ride is a kiddie ride. Horrible. 2 hour wait for 1 loop. No thanks. I could ride GASM 20 times in that time, and I would rather do that.

It's very fun! But it gets boring after the first drop and the upside down part.

This ride is good because you're in a flying position and that prezel loop that you go upside-down on your back is sick. The only thing that gets me about the ride is the fact you have to wait in a mad long line and the ride is too short.

The wait was way too long for this. I was disappointed. The ride itself wasn't too bad. I hope I get to ride Tatsu.

This ride is awesome! Why doesn't anyone like it? The one and only flaw about it is that it is too short. I have never seen a line for this over an hour and I have been here 10 times.

This ride is fun, but the wait time is just ridiculous. I havent got the time or patience to wait to get on this ever again. It doesnt hold that WOW factor to make the wait worth it at all.

I thought this was a really fun coaster and it happens to be my first flying coaster too. It may not be the most intense, but thier were certainly moments of intensity that I felt during my experience. Its a really good coaster, and likely one of my favorites.

I found this coaster kind of boring and smooth, so by the end of the ride i fell asleep.

Really underrated. To all people that say that this B&M is boring, you smoke too much weed. This is a very incredible B&M flyer that packs one hell of a punch.

A fun coaster....but after visiting the park this past weekend, Im a little annoyed...they let one cart fill up with the "VIP" people, then they will allow the next train board with the normal guests...coupled with the annoying fast pass that cut infront of the line...they make the line turn from a 20min wait to an hour.
