This looks like a very sick drop tower! Hopefully I can come visit SFMM again soon. :thumbs:

Coming spring 2012 - the world's tallest vertical drop ride makes its home at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Named after one of DC Comic's most dangerously intelligent super-villians and Superman's greatest enemy, LEX LUTHOR: Drop of Doom is attached to both sides of the iconic SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton tower. You and your friends can experience this thrill all while SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton cars are blasted to the top of the same structure.
Sit inside a floorless gondola on one of two vertical tracks flanking each side of the SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton tower. You'll be pulled to the top of the 400 foot tower, experience a brief pause then drop at speeds of up to 85 mph. After the five second freefall, you'll be stopped by a sophisticated magnetic braking system just a few feet
from the ground.
