Yes, it is due to the rain. Keep in mind the park only has 2 covered rides (Carousel & bumper cars) & one indoor ride (justice league).

I'm just used to Kings Island where you can ride when it is sleeting. I've been on Banshee and The Bat when it was raining and about 40 degrees. I'm not suggesting that is a good thing or demonstrating any kind of intelligence on my behalf. That is why I asked.

I am not privy to how bad of shape Superman is now and I am certainly no engineer, but could they conceivably just call up S&S to redo the launch system? AFAIK it’s the launch and ops that’s problematic for the ride.

At the end of the day, I would still rather lose Superman ANYDAY over X2. But still it’s a shame to just leave it abandoned.

I'd imagine it'd be impossible to maintain Superman unless you completely retracked it and made it into a different ride altogether in track, style of launch and of the trains altogether.

When Tower of Terror went and bit it in DreamWorld; it was because the ride was no longer in Intamin's catelogues I believe. I would imagine it wouldn't be worth the capital on spending money of this, and that it'd be better suited to partially remove the track and supports connecting the tower so Lex can continually run without concern.
