Superman Escape, Steel roller coaster at Warner Bros. Movie World, Gold Coast, Australia

Superman Escape is a steel roller coaster at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Its red track climbs from a steep curve into a tall circular loop, held up by bright blue vertical and diagonal columns. A sign with a red and yellow shield emblem and white block letters reading "ESCAPE" stands at the base, in front of red palm trees.

The roller coaster opened on Boxing Day 2005 after a six-month construction period. Building work began in June that year and required demolishing two older attractions on the site.

Riders begin in a Metropolis Rapid Transit subway station, where warnings of tremors move the train to the next station by tyre drive. Gas mains burst, a pumping station floods and walls collapse before a blue streak appears and Superman says, "Heads back. I'll push you out of here. Fast. Superman fast." John Williams' Superman score plays at the brake run.

The queue leads through a Metropolis Rapid Transit station where tremors, a bursting gas main and a flood are staged before the launch. Riders sit in open cars with over-the-shoulder restraints, five cars of two rows each; two trains run at peak times. The launch reaches 100 km/h in two seconds and the circuit lasts about 1 minute 40 seconds.

The trains consist of five cars with two rows of seats each and can transport up to 480 people per hour. The ride uses a hydraulic catapult system that accelerates to full speed in two seconds.
