The launch tunnel exit.
The giant red arch of the ride's top hat towers over the entrance of the park.
An overview of the outdoor section of the ride, which opens in December.
Quite literally a sliver of the levelled-off track after the brake run which will lead into the station for unload.
Superman Escape's impressive three airtime points.
The shiney copper-based alloy brake fins.
It can be seen where the brake fins will extend up the brake slope. The mounting brackets for the fins extend nearly to where the track disappears behind the soundstage, meaning all along this straight will be brakes.
Alloy braking fins have been fixed to the brake run. These brakes are purely magnetic - there is no mechanical component to them.
The final brake run is in place now.
Will this close-call create a headchopper effect for riders? Wait and see! The final crest can be seen at the bottom of the picture. After this the track slopes downwards for the brake run.
Braking fins are now installed on the entire of the launch track.
It lines itself up with the turn after the top hat.
Seen from further back, the track levels out before diving to the ground - much like a double-dip though turning all the while.
The dive-turn is one of Superman Escape's unique elements. In the background you can see the track turns back up for one last crest before the brake run.
The top hat does not go right to 90ยบ - it is a few degrees shy.
The second camel back will create an airtime sensation followed by a unique twisting drop which will add to the feeling of speed.
All of Superman Escape's outdoor track is now complete.
Not long now until riders will be racing over this track.
