2022 Lex Luthor Drop of Doom On Ride 4K POV Six Flags Magic Mountain

Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom consists of two towers, with each mounted to a lateral flank of the Superman: Escape From Krypton structure. Both rides feature a single floorless gondola seating eight-abreast. Riders are harnessed in by over-the-shoulder restraints. Catch cars hoist the gondolas up the tower for approximately 95 seconds before reaching a dynamic height of 400 feet (120 m). As the gondolas reach the apex, riders are greeted with a pre-recorded audio spiel from Lex Luthor. The gondolas are then released into 5-second free fall descent, attaining a terminal velocity of 85 miles per hour (137 km/h). Mass of the gondolas is 600 kilograms (1,300 lb) without any riders.
When the Superman: Escape From Krypton and Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom operate simultaneously, the steel framework tower that supports both rides is likely to sway as much as 2 feet (0.61 m) side to side.

    I highly recommend going on it if you go back, I was with some friends and we were about to do this one and I had already ridden most of the rides including X2 so I felt confident but when I really looked up at it I started to get scared, but I still went on, as we’re going up I try my best not to look down, then the drop happened and honestly wasn’t bad at all, like that feeling you get in your stomach doesn’t really exist on this ride, we went a second time lol

    And I thought Acrophobia was bad. I freakin hate drop rides. The first time i rode acrophobia the ride operator accidentally hit the abort button at the top and it slowly came down. She giggled about ti and sent us back up. I fucking died.

    Zumanjaro is a bit taller and you do get Kingda Ka going over your head at the same time on some ride. However when superman syncs with Lex, the whole tower swings.
