Testing began on June 22, two weeks before it opened to the public on July 7, 2012. By May 30, the ride gondolas were placed onto the tower to start testing. By the second week of May, all the pieces for the ride were attached to the tower. During the first week of May, vertical pieces for Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom were attached to the Superman tower.
On April 12, 2012, pieces of the ride were taken up in the air by helicopter above the Superman tower (415 feet (126 m) in the air) to connect the ride pieces to the tower. Pieces for the lower part of drop tower arrived at the park on April 2, 2012. In middle to late March, the electrical part of the ride was constructed to operate the drop tower. Superman: Escape from Krypton was expected to reopen when Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom opened to the public. On February 5, 2012, Superman: Escape from Krypton closed, so that the park could start construction of Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom on the coaster. On September 1, 2011, Six Flags Magic Mountain officially announced that they would be adding Intamin drop towers to the sides of the Superman: Escape from Krypton tower. The video concluded hinting at a possible new attraction in 2012 to be installed on Superman: Escape from Krypton. On August 25, 2011, Six Flags Magic Mountain released a "GoBigCam" video. The ride is integrated onto the existing Superman: Escape from Krypton tower structure. Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom is a drop tower located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.
