Superman Ultimate Flight is a steel launched roller coaster in the DC Universe area of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. It is a Premier Rides Sky Rocket II and opened on June 30, 2012.
Linear synchronous motors launch the train several times, forward and backward, through a tunnel and up a tall tower, until it has enough speed to complete the course. The park gives a height of 150 feet and a top speed of 62 mph. The layout includes an in-line twist, RCDB's one inversion, and a non-inverting loop in which riders pass over the top on the outside of the track. RCDB lists an 863-foot track.
The single train has two cars and seats 12 riders. The minimum height is 54 inches, or 52 inches with an accompanying adult.
