Lex Luthor's Revenge is the premier thrill ride of MARKHAM Studios. Luthercorp has developed a new weapon to destroy Superman. But when you try to stop it, you will be in for a surprise! The main unique features of this ride is that only two people can ride at once and also how every ride is new, as riders spin around connected to a robotic arm that spins in random directions every single time!

Since only two can ride at once, there are six rides so that 12 can ride at once!

Poseidon is one of the top roller coasters in the world and is surely the top attraction of MARKHAM Studios. First you board a floorless car. Then, as you curve around into the main building, you learn of how Poseidon is raged and wants to destroy you, and so you need to leave quickly. You then go up the 160 foot lift hill, and then plunge into a turn around 150 feet to earth where you enter the 125 foot loop, 140 foot dive loop, 90 foot dive loop, 125 foot cobra roll, and a pair of interlocked corkscrews!
