Dare to compare

So how much taller is Wicked Twister than it's predicessors?  How much faster.  If memory serves me correctly, Superman is 180 ft tall and 70 mph?
Yep, that is correct for Superman.

edit:  However, according to rcdb, the Vertical Velocity at SFGA is 185 feet tall, making it the previous tallest impulse.  The strange thing is that this V2 is only 65 mph, compared to the smaller one at SFMW that is 70 mph.

The speed is independent of the spike height - it has to do with the number of LIM motors, their power, size of the trains, # of times through the accelerators, etc.  On this ride you will get maximum speed coming out of the station, not out of a drop from the spike.
