The second ride, Superman Up and Away, is still under construction with a projected completion date in 2028. This upcoming attraction promises to be a next-generation flying roller coaster that will allow guests to soar alongside Superman. It aims to create a unique sensation of flight while engaging with beloved DC character themes. Although specific details are yet to be revealed, anticipation is building for this innovative experience.
