Power Surge is a strange name for a water ride. Electricity and water shouldn't mix right?
Only three parts of the ride are visible from the rear boundary of the park.
The interlocking corkscrews are the final two inversions.
Here you can see the floorless aspect of the trains, with the feet of riders dangling above the track.
Cobra roll.
Immediately after the zero g roll is a cobra roll.
Zero g rollin'
After you drop off the quarry wall the 2nd inversion is a zero g roll.
After the loop is a high turn and helix, again built up on the quarry wall.
Drop & loop.
The first inversion is a loop, which at one point was the worlds tallest.
The top of the first drop has a 270 degree turn at the top of the quarry wall.
The lift hill and first drop.
The VR headsets use Samsung S7 phones. When riders sit down, the camera on the phone sights the QR code on the seat in front, and cues the correct footage for that seat. This is because different positions in the train travel at slightly different speeds, and at different time points when passing a given point on the track.
The train in the station, with the floor in the up position ready for loading.
Large numbers of headsets are needed to allow for a constant cycle of cleaning and charging.
The station.
The ride entrance. In 2016 the option to ride wearing a VR headset was added. This transforms the experience into an aerial battle between Superman and Lex Luthor, with riders being tossed and turned about above Metropolis.
The man of steel looking over the ride.
Superman Krypton Coaster is a large B&M floorless coaster with 6 inversions.
