Viewers quickly commented the group should be thankful that they got stuck near the end of the coaster and not on a hill and that they had similar experiences during recent visits. However, others commented that the video had been staged, as the time difference is notorious, and it would appear that the incident happened at the same time as the theme park’s fireworks show, during which viewers commented all rides were stopped.
Six Flags Mexico has not released any information regarding malfunctions or refurbishments on the ride, and according to the theme park’s website, Superman The Final Escape remains open and operational as of this article’s publishing.
