Superman escape is a thrilling ride at Movie world on the gold coast. The ride starts off as an underground metropolitis (subway), then when there is an earthquake, the train must get out!! "There is only one way out..fast, superman fast!' are the words you hear before you zoom out onto the rollercoaster. When I say zoom, I mean it. From no speed at all, the rollercoaster goes from 0-100km an hour in 2 seconds! After that there is a series of vertical drops, twists, and turns. It is a highly enjoyable ride!!
Hamish and Andy appeared on ROVE in 2009, and did a dare to ride the Superman escape all night! In between rides they had to eat hotdogs and drink milkshakes.Both of them vomited several times, but I think that was mostly because of all the hot dogs. The Rove episode can be veiwed on You Tube.

KINGDA KA
The Kingda Ka is a rollercoaster in New Jearsey, USA. It opened May 21st, 2005, and became the tallest AND fastest rollercoaster in the world! The train reaches speeds of 206 km/hour in 3.5 seconds, which is even faster than the Superman escape rollercoaster in Queensland. After the amazingly fast launch, the train reaches a height of 139.5 metres, then vertically drops!! It is a very safe ride, but in 2009 the ride was struck by lightning. Luckily it was overnight and the park wasn't open. It took the mechanics a few weeks to get the ride working again. Since then, there haven't been any other problems with the ride. For anyone who is a thrill seeker, this is the perfect ride for you, as it is fast, extreemly high, and extreme.
