This page has been created for specifically the SFNE coaster, because it is not a clone of the SFA and DL Superman models. This ride is completely unique and therefore should have its own page. The two clones, SFA and DL's rides, are still listed on the same page Superman - Ride of Steel. If anyone for some reason opposes this change, discuss it here ( Coasterman1234 ( talk) 22:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)).
This coaster is consistently ranked the first or second best steel coaster by multiple surveys, so I'm changing its importance to high. -- Skylights76 ( talk) 07:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I changed it because: I was there when it happened and because my dad took care of the man as part of his job in the Department of Metal Retardation, so he knew all about what happened. He wasn't there when it happened because it was one of his days off, so he was being cared for by someone else at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.242.247 ( talk) 19:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
This article greatly missed a section describing the ride itself, so I added one. EventHorizon918 ( talk) 05:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

This coaster is pretty interesting so I'll review this. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 18:37, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Images check out fine, while I do not like having people in them, it is not a concern as Six flags is a public place. Though this image is a bad choice.
[1] It doesn't grasp the scale of the coaster and the view is only so-so.
Neutrality. Check
No edit wars. Check
Prose seems fine as well.
However, the problem lies in the fact that the previous incarnation, which is still the same coaster, is entirely forgotten. What about the Superman Ride of Steel theme, what about its features? While it has been given a new theme, the coaster still is Superman at its core. There is little about it being the icon of the park. For the rankings, "Bizarro is praised hugely by the roller coaster community, and the ride is noted for its smoothness and large amount of airtime." Seems a bit subjective, remove 'hugely' and I believe the smoothness comes from its steel construction compared against wood. As for 'air-time' I don't know, its more 'push you back in the seat' than air time in my eyes. I just thing it could use some expansion, maybe information about its designer and more on the construction and the cost of the coaster.
I'll put it on hold for now. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 18:51, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Today, it was announced by Six Flags that Bizarro would be rethemed to Superman: The Ride. Can someone please change the title of the article to Superman: The Ride to reflect this? Here is the announcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwUrOz7-kVw
