How high is Superman at Six Flags Over Texas?

Standing at 325 feet in the air, this mind-blowingly massive steel tower is not only the highest structure in the park, it is one of the highest drop tower rides in the world.



Superman: Tower of Power at Six Flags Over Texas stands at a total height of approximately 325 feet (99 meters). This attraction is a "Combo Tower" manufactured by S&S Worldwide, featuring three massive towers that utilize compressed air to launch riders up and then drop them back down. When it debuted in 2003, it was the tallest ride of its kind in the world. Riders are seated in a 4-person car and are blasted 325 feet into the air at speeds reaching 45 mph, experiencing several "10+ story" drops during the ride cycle. Because the park is located in Arlington, Texas—a relatively flat region—the tower is a prominent landmark visible from miles away, including from the nearby AT&T Stadium. The ride has a strict height requirement of 52 inches and is rated as a "Level 5" max-thrill attraction. Unlike the "Superman" roller coasters in other Six Flags parks, this is a dedicated drop tower that focuses on vertical velocity and airtime rather than track-based maneuvers, making it one of the most physically intense experiences in the park’s thrill-ride lineup.
