Superman: Krypton Coaster is a roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, it is one of four floorless coasters to open in the year 2000 (the other three were Medusa at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Dominator at Geauga Lake and Kraken at SeaWorld Orlando). The coaster stands 168 feet tall, with the lift hill and helix extending over the bordering cliff, and has a track length of 4025 feet and top speed of 70 mph—the fastest of any B&M floorless coaster, as well as the fastest at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. It has six inversions. Superman: Krypton Coaster is the largest floorless roller coaster in the Southwestern United States.
