Superman: Ultimate Flight features the world's first pretzel loop.

SFOG's OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION:

The Superman: Ultimate Flight adventure begins as passengers board the sleek, 28-seat train sitting four abreast. As the train exits the station, passengers tilt face-first into flying position, suspended from the track above. The anticipation builds as passengers, secured by specially designed over-the-shoulder harnesses and lap bars, climb the 115-foot lift hill with nothing but a bird's eye view below. Upon take-off, the ride enters a series of sharp dives, high-banked curves and spirals uniquely designed to enhance the flying experience.
