Superman: Ultimate Flight is a steel flying roller coaster manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard. Themed to the popular comic book character, Superman: Ultimate Flight has been installed at three Six Flags theme parks around the United States: Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, Georgia; Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey; and Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. Superman: Ultimate Flight simulates flying by positioning its passengers parallel to the track, supported by harnesses and facing the ground through most of the ride. In the station, riders board the train sitting down. After the train is locked and checked, the trains are raised into the flying position. After the ride, the seats are lowered into the sitting position for the next round of riders.

Famous quotes containing the words ultimate and/or flight:
“Only with the ultimate knowledge of all things will man have come to know himself. For things are but the boundaries of man.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Its shrill scream seems yet to linger in its throat, and the roar of the sea in its wings. There is the tyranny of Jove in its claws, and his wrath in the erectile feathers of the head and neck. It reminds me of the Argonautic expedition, and would inspire the dullest to take flight over Parnassus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
