Ride delay: Superman’s running late. . . . The June 1 opening of the much-ballyhooed Six Flags Magic Mountain thrill ride has been delayed until mid-June. “Some parts arrived late,” spokesman Palmer Moody said. Billed as the world’s fastest ride, “Superman The Escape” will speed up to 100 mph in seven seconds.

Feminists: National Organization for Women members from all over the state are meeting in North Hollywood this weekend. Their conference theme is Young Feminists Organizing. Valley NOW President Jean Morrison reports “a real resurgence” of interest in feminism among young women. . . . Aware that they have an image problem with the word itself, organizers will sell T-shirts that say, “This is what a feminist looks like.”

Second Chance: When lightning strikes, it’s good to have a trauma facility nearby. That’s the point of Trauma Awareness Day at Northridge Hospital Medical Center. The annual event featured trauma survivors, such as Guy Arnone, above, who survived being struck by lightning in Calabasas on March 14 (B3). . . . “I’m just happy to be here,” said Arnone, a Canyon Country resident.

Falling Coconuts: When you’re christening an Internet Web site, breaking a bottle of champagne over a computer just won’t do. And ribbon-cutting is so corny. So, when Mayor Richard Riordan launched a new site Friday at a United Chambers of Commerce lunch (B1), he resorted to mouse tricks. He clicked on a palm tree on the screen and voila. . . . A coconut fell out. The site was open. It will feature a calendar of Valley events and chamber news.
