Superman: La Atracción de Acero

Superman: La Atracción de Acero (meaning "Superman: The Attraction of Steel") is a steel floorless roller coaster at Parque Warner Madrid in Spain.

Design


The ride was built by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened on 6 April 2002. It features 7 inversions: a Vertical Loop, an Immelmann, a Zero-G-Roll, a Cobra Roll and two interlocking Flatspins. It features a straight drop, instead of a swooping drop like on most B&M looping coasters.

Theming
The ride is themed to the DC Comics superhero Superman, as such the ride's queue resembles an office of the fictional newspaper agency Daily Planet. Throughout the station building there are covers of famous Superman comics and posters talking about the hero's powers and abilities.

In pop culture
In 2015, the coaster was featured in Glenn Paton's short film H Positive. Although the off-ride footage was modified to include several additional vertical loops, the on-ride footage in the film was left largely intact. The entire layout can be seen, several other attractions can be seen in the background, including Shadows of Arkham, Coaster-Express, Stunt Fall, and La Venganza del Enigma.
