I don't think you can make a Wingrider quite as forceful as Kumba or Batman. They seem to be naturally grace-oriented ride types anyway, and from what I hear, they work it wonderfully.

I...can't...stop...****ing...laughing...

That is the quote of 2013, IMO.

Batman is still a top fav behind Riddler's. Backwards would be insane.

what I meant by that was that six flags will advertise it as a new coaster like it did with the bizzaros. based on my experience on the great adventure close I have no doubt it will be awesome, I was simply commenting on the advertising techniques they'll use
What are these for?

They do, Swarm is great and the turnaround is surprisingly forceful compared with the rest of the ride!

X-Flight have a couple turns where the trains are vibrating pretty good from the positives. I mean it wasn't B:TR but it would have been acceptable a traditional sitdown.

I just discovered this evening that I will be riding this on May 17th... very excited [:D] The first Batman: The Ride to ever operate, and now the first Batman: The Ride to ever operate in reverse! Yay!

I'm going in August, so I hope it's still backwards by then. Or they move the train to SFOT or SFstl which I will also be visiting.

A kind of tour thing with the backwards train would be kind of neat.
What are these for?
