Deleted the Six Flags Magic Mountain entry. The Superman roller coaster there is called "The Escape", not "Ride of Steel". Also updated the links for the parks.

I updated the awards section reflecting Amusement Today's unveiling of the 2006 Golden Tickets. Congrats to the coaster at SFNE for taking the top spot once again!

At darien lake, the ride had a motor problem, and the ride was shut. According to one worker "the motor had a seziure". Should we add this to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.182.101.225 ( talk) 23:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Shouldn't this be split into the SFNE version and the other two? SFDL's and SFA's are clones or near clones, were as SFNE's is much different. I bet there's enough information about it to warrant a separate article anyway. I think articles that combine more than one coaster should be restricted to clones only, and just have a link to the other one (See WikiProject_Roller_Coasters) My little needle 18:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC) reply

I was about to say the same thing. SFNE's version is completely different from DL's and SFA's versions. I'm going to create a SFNE Superman page, and use this one for just SFA's and DL's. ( Coasterman1234 ( talk) 21:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)) reply

"A near-fatal accident occurred on the Darien Lake version in 1999 when a passenger was thrown from the train on one of the final hills. He of course died, as a result, the park installed standard seat-belts and imposed further restrictions on passenger size and weight."

So which is it, a near-fatal accident or that "he" died? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.118.253.28 ( talk) 00:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC) reply

I fixed this and added a citation, he only suffered minor injuries. Phydend ( talk) 02:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC) reply

This ride, at least the one at Darien lake, is no longer assosiated with superman. It is simply called "ride of steel". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bazil4385 ( talk • contribs) 18:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply

I have suggested a split because the article itself mainly is about the Six Flags America ride Superman - Ride of Steel, and additionally, it doesn't make note of how the Darien Lake version is now Ride of Steel.

Split rationale is not clear - a split appears to have taken place - resubmit request with clearer rationale is split still required. SilkTork * ^YES! 00:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC) reply

The rides are almost entirely different besides for the layout at this point. I think it would benefit if this article remained about the Six Flags America version and another article, Ride of Steel (Darien Lake) was created for the Darien Lake version.-- Astros4477 ( talk) 06:31, 1 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Why not Ride of Steel? It is already categorised for Darien Lake. Themeparkgc   Talk  07:32, 1 January 2013 (UTC) reply

That would work too.-- Astros4477 ( talk) 17:21, 1 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Maybe replace "identical" with "similar" and add a small section describing the layout difference? It doesn't seem accurate to say they're identical when they're mirrored versions of each other. Thoughts? Paganhobbit ( talk) 12:20, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply

In this context, roller coasters that are "mirrored versions" of one another have identical layouts. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 12:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply
