Ride of Steel

Common card · No. 222268

Ride of Steel is a steel roller coaster based on the DC Comics character Superman at Six Flags Darien Lake and formerly at Six Flags America (the latter of which was known as Superman – Ride of Steel). Both roller coasters are hypercoasters, and were manufactured by Intamin. They feature identical mirrored layouts, and opened one year apart: the Six Flags Darien Lake ride in 1999, and the Six Flags America ride in 2000. The roller coaster at Six Flags Darien Lake, upon the acquisition of the park by PARC Management in 2007, was renamed simply to Ride of Steel, dropping the Superman theme and branding for the sake of copyright. While Six Flags Darien Lake was reintegrated into the Six Flags chain in 2019, the Superman theme was not returned to the ride. Both roller coasters are 208 feet (63 m) tall, feature a drop length of 205 feet (62 m), and reach a maximum speed of 73 mph (117 km/h). On May 1, 2025, Six Flags announced that the Six Flags America park would close on November 2, 2025....
