In 2003, Great America (Northern California theme park) opened a popular roller coaster named "Superman: Ultimate Flight". It was one of my favorites, because it simulated flying like the Superman character does: facing the ground. They got rid of it a year or two later. Why did they get rid of it?|||I think you have your names confused - California's Great America never had a coaster named "Superman: Ultimate Flight" (that would be a coaster at a Six Flags park, which is a different company then the park you are talking about). They did have Stealth, which was a flying coaster - it was moved to Carowinds, a "sister" park (owned by the same company). It's now called "Nighthawk" at Carowinds. Parks sometimes trade rides between "sister" parks as a cheap alternative to buying a new/used ride.
They moved Stealth from Great America to make room for their waterpark.|||Maybe it was dangerous now.
