This awesome ride was brought to Wildwood in 1999 for a reported cost of 1.3 million dollars. Its combination of flips and twists make for a great ride. During its first year, Morey's usually operated program consisited of no less than 11 inversions, including nine flips. Improvements over the original Super Loop On Top installations can be seen on this ride, for example, both arms are hinged, unlike the originals, which were only built with one that was hinged. Also, the back row has much more room to maneuver, especially when the restraints are up, also the seats are slightly larger, thus able to accommodate a larger audience. At night, this ride was very popular. It was removed after the 2001 season, and was installed as "Lex Luthor's Invertatron" at Six Flags New Orleans in Louisiana in 2003.
