History

The ride originally opened on May 3, 1997 at Six Flags AstroWorld as Dungeon Drop.^[1]

Dungeon Drop closed down on October 30, 2005 along with Six Flags AstroWorld.^[2] After the park's closure, it was moved to Six Flags St. Louis for the 2006 season. It was going to be named Acrophobia, but the plans were cancelled due to changes in Six Flags management at the time. Six Flags later decided to choose the name Superman: Tower of Power instead.^[3] The ride opened on May 19, 2006.

The attraction was temporarily closed on June 22, 2007 alongside other drop towers after a 13-year-old girl was injured on Superman: Tower of Power at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.^[4]

The ride did not appear on the 2021 map and its permanent closure was confirmed in March 2021.^[5]^[6] It was dismantled later that year by September 2021.^[7]

Catwoman Whip was built on the ride's former location.
