Theme: The ride starts in a MRT (Metropolis Rapid Transit) subway station.  Warnings of tremors make it necessary to move to the next station.  This is move is done via a typical tire drive system.  Many special effects follow such as gas mains bursting, a pumping station blowing resulting in a flood and collapsing walls.  Then a blue streak is seen followed by Superman saying that he will save you and to keep your heads back.  This is followed by the main launch.
