@spacemt354, is there any way to kill the poll now that it’s served its purpose?

As cool as this sounds (and I take your word that it fits) - I am still hesitant. My main reason being that Superman is such a cool character and a coaster whose sole "gimmick" (reason for riding would be a better term) is speed would probably fit better for a certain Central City scarlet speedster (THE FLASH). Also, I think Superman should be used for a flying coaster (although, I guess Green Lantern would also work for this idea).Redoing Superman as a TTD/Kingda-Ka strata coaster...Tiki, of course!With full theming and queue prestory! Riders are evacuated from Krypton as it explodes and taken to earth. Enclose the upwards launch section to simulate escaping Krypton's atmosphere, and leave the top hat element and the drop exposed to simulate entry into Earth's atmosphere. Do separate unloading like TTD, perhaps in a Fortress of Solitude.
And as Tiki states, I'm fine with Superman on top of the mountain away from DC/Metropolis. Retheme Viper as Bizarro, do something with the vacant-yet-iconic Sky Tower (polercoaster?).
If we like the idea of a Flash zone area, we could take inspiration from the popular TV Series - have the top of the mountain be a hidden S.T.A.R. Labs testing grounds. The Viper (which is a dueling coaster correct) could receive theming based on the Flash villains Captain Cold and Heatwave.

Magic Mountain's existing flying coaster, Tatsu, is possibly the very best in the world. (IMO it's 2nd to USJ's Flying Dinosaur, but it's a super tight race.) I'm okay with retheming Tatsu to Superman in addition to this Escape from Krypton strata coaster we're discussing. The strata can dethrone Kingda-Ka as world's tallest (ignoring upcoming polercoasters), and the ride itself would like Tower of Terror simply be Act Three after many mood-setting setpieces in the queue.
Add to that the Bizarro retheme of Ninja (which is an inverted Arrow coaster like the former Big Bad Wolf), and the entire summit now has a new Superman theme to replace Samurai Summit.
Viper is unrelated. It's an Arrow multi-looper in the Baja Ridge section.
I think we can do a launched Flash coaster also, as Magic Mountain's other big addition. I'll come out later today with a map of my ideas, but I'm thinking of a new park entrance near the DC Universe / Screampunk area with Flash as the entrance-spanning ride. Do that one like an improved Formula Rossa, and suddenly we've given MM the world's tallest and the world's fastest coasters!

Awesome! That works too! I'm going to do a little more research on the park and then type up some more thoughts/ideas

Essentially, I think that the DC realm could be divided into 3 areas: Gotham Pier, Metropolis Plaza, and the Fortress of Solitude.
Gotham Pier is the land currently surrounding the Batman coaster and currently has two thrill rides (Green Lantern: First Flight, and the Batman) and two medium rides (Flash: Speed Force, and Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth). The land also has some restaurants and shops, etc.
A new backstory for this miniland could be this: Gotham's criminal boss the Joker has begun his reign of terror after recruiting several of Batman's worst enemies - from Mr. Freeze to the Riddler to Harley Quinn to Clayface, Bane, Two-Face, and more! How will Batman stop the Joker and his pals from harming Gotham's citizens in their death machines?
Green Lantern: First Flight would a small upgrade in paint job (Link) and to improve its bumpiness. It would become The Joker. Flash: Speed Force would become Cat woman's Escape! (I choose this because she needs getaway vans during her burglaries). Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth could become Scarecrow: Fear of Heights.
I would also be proposing for the Batman attraction to be a huge 3D Simulator attraction a la Spiderman, where guests take the role of Gotham City police to help stop the Joker's reign of Terror.
We've been discussing Fortress of Solitude area.
Metropolis Plaza currently hosts The Riddler's Revenge, Justice League: Battle for Metropolis, as well as several flat rides. I am proposing re-themes to the flat rides in this area (Scrambler to something with Plastic Man, maybe) to various superheros, both obscure and not obscure. Jet Stream (the Water ride) seems to lend itself to Aquaman. The Riddler's Revenge would receive a larger re-theming to become Green Lantern: New Recruits.
Backstory could be this: Metropolis is celebrating the Festival of Superheroes! Every single hero is here to mingle and celebrate their victories against all of there villains. However, Lex Luthor is planning something sinister in Justice: League Battle for Metropolis!

Here's Magic Mountain as it is today. Yellow is parking. The bluish-green area in the middle right is the entrance. This is objectively the worst thing about Magic Mountain, as guests have to walk uphill alongside a fence to get from their cars to a rather unappealing entry plaza.
Red is backstage.
Purple is the Scream coaster which sits atop the parking lot.
Green is the Screampunk District themed area.
So my proposal for improving Magic Mountain's flow while adding a coaster.
Scream and the backstage stuff (at least some of it) relocate to the current entry area. Where Scream was can become the new entry area (green). The area retains the station for Twisted Colossus, and sees many new shops and park services added.
Blue nearby is area freed up for a new coaster (more than we need most likely). The plan is to do a Flash launch coaster akin to Formula Rossa, to be the world's fastest. Entry to the Flash coaster can be in the entry land, so perhaps that could be themed to Central City.
@kmbmw777 Light blue is the present DC Universe area, which would divide into Gotham Pier (top) and Metropolis Plaza (bottom).
Yellow below that includes the Jet Stream flume, the Gold Rusher mine train coaster, the Apocalypse GCI woodie, plus a go-kart track and a human catapult (both upcharges) which can be replaced. This stuff can be rethemed to DC as well. Overall, Magic Mountain has great potential to be the premier DC theme park!
Lastly, orange is where the Superman strata coaster would replace the existing launch tower. The pink area below is the Fortress of Solitude land to replace Samurai Summit.

I love this idea of making Magic’s Mountain the premier DC Park
Kings Dominion is becoming about Americans celebration.
Are we going natural/nature with discover Adventre?
What do we do without Carowinds? That’s the late billion dollar question

Maybe Carowids can get the Muppets family land? And the SW thrill ride?

Me likey. So the entire left half of the park for DC comics... Mwhahahahaha! And I realize now that this is owned by Disney, we can open more than one ride per year

You're reading my mind Voxel!
For Carowinds I was thinking having it host extreme Marvel and Star Wars rides which Disney Parks would never host.
For instance, was thinking the Hurler RMC could be for Black Panther, a ride on Shuri’s mag lev trains. Fury 325 rethemes to Nick Fury

I’m thinking some more amusementy, but I like this. What if we repace the dinosaurs ride with a Muppets Amusement part for kids and have it more adult than snoopy are. You can have a coaster held toghetwr with duct tape. A haunted mansion with the muppets running it and controlling the effects it could be a riot

Muppets would be cool. But it’s something Disney could make today with existing IPs and thrill levels.

Than if they are out I'm holding on to them Cause I think a Muppets Amusement part within a park making fun of Famous Disney Rides would be perfect at some point.
