Theme Parks Travel: Superman Going Under the Knife

Fresh off winning the award for best steel coaster, Six Flags New England announced yesterday that Superman: Ride of Steel, will undergo some renovations in time for the 2009 season.

As riders travel twenty stories into the air, they'll now be treated to pockets of fog, bursts of fire and an all-new audio track as they fly along the track in just over three minutes. Trains will be totally renovated as well, but no word on if they'll modify the unique restraint system that leaves your upper body free to flail about.

Of course, all the excitement was ruined as the park also announced that the renovations would further help solidify its position as the ideal "daycation" destination in the area. With or without the "clever" marketing, the ride looks to be a must-see in 2009.
