Six Flags Guests Forced to Walk Down Steep 208-Foot Roller Coaster After Ride Stalls
An already intense roller coaster ride turned into an even bigger adrenaline rush for guests at Six Flags New England after one of the park's biggest attractions stalled near the top of the track.
Visitors riding Superman: The Ride were forced to evacuate last week after the coaster reportedly stopped just as the train approached its highest point.
Footage shared by TikTok user @jordyyn.m captured the aftermath of the incident on Friday, April 24, showing riders exiting the coaster and carefully making their way down an extremely steep emergency staircase built alongside the towering track.
In the video, several staff members wearing orange vests appear to guide passengers single-file down the structure after the ride came to a halt midair. And according to the person who filmed the moment, riders were left stranded high above the ground before park employees began evacuation procedures.

"I could've never walked down that so props to the people who did, you the real ones and deserve season passes on the park🙃 ," the TikTokker wrote in the caption of the post, which got hundreds of replies.
"What if the ride suddenly decides too just move," one pointed out, noting that the emergency latter appears to be close to-if not underneath-the track.
"i would not have been able to walk down and i'm not even kidding," a second stated.
Another joked, "Call in a helicopter cause I ain't movin!!"
Superman: The Ride first opened in 2000 as Superman: Ride of Steel and quickly became one of the park's signature attractions, later undergoing a temporary rebrand as Bizarro before returning to its current Superman identity.

The coaster is known for delivering serious thrills. According to the park's website, it reaches speeds of 77 miles per hour, stretches 5,400 feet in length, and climbs to a maximum height of 208 feet; all in a ride lasting a mere 90 seconds.
Six Flags had not publicly commented at the time of reporting. It remains unclear what caused the temporary malfunction.
