With me it was more like the other way round. I didn't like the concept of the jojo roll at al before riding it (I'm not a fan of hangtime) but after a try I did enjoy it and I do with more coasters had a pre-lift section like that. Hydra's not that bad but it's not that good either. It's just there. I love the jojo roll though. I think it's a rather rattly "head banger"--like Scream at SFMM. Interesting... When I rode it in 2013 it wasn't rough (despite having already heard that before). I wouldn't call it silky smooth but there wasn't a spot where my head hit the restraint. I actually enjoyed hyrdra quite a bit. Not as good as talon but still my second favourite at the park.

Me too. I know it's technically the same but I find it more fun this way. The good thing about the back is always the first drop. However I've never sat on the front row of nitro so I'm not sure.

That was the last coaster I rode which made me wish it would end. It was pretty nasty (at least that day)

OMG a Mantis tattoo!

I don't have a car yet (as I've only had my license for little over a month) and I've been using my parents' mazda 2 (from 2008). It's a fun little car (much better to drive than my granddad's bigger, chunkier and older Citroën)

^OMG I want one!

I know the loop is/would be bigger but I didn't know about the layout. Or is the length difference just because of the increased height?

^That was odd. It looks like those bunny hops near the end may have given some air.

^When I rode blue streak he also said: "You'll be going upside down a total of zero times!" and also "You're gonna climb 78 feet and hit a top speed of 40 mph! That's bad......"

Totally

Isn't this just a myth?

^It's funny how just yesterday I was wondering if big thunder mountain had ever stalled on the tunnels and how cool it would be to get evacuated from there.

Based on the TPR POV of eagle's fortress I would say that there are a few places where the cars (at least some) went beyond 90. It's a shame that it is gone, it looked like the best suspended.

Yeah, that's true. It looks cool, though (Joker is always a cool villain)

I really feel like Batman is the second best coaster in the park. I'm not even knocking the other rides when I say that, I just don't see how anyone doesn't like a ride that's this intense, fast and smooth. There's nothing not to love about it. Batman is indeed awesome. And I'm always saying this but it amazes me how a 21 year old coaster with such fast transitions (and build only 3 years after B&M's first ride) is still so smooth. It's among the smoothest coasters I've ridden.

Well I have never gone on Oblivion and thought to myself "You know what an extra 3 degrees would really improve this ride". So I would say no its doesnt make any difference. In practice it doesn't really make a difference but it feels "special" to know the drop is fully vertical.

Oh, I forgot, the two inversion combo on Maurer Söhne's Skyloops is pretty fun too.

^I'm not sure about krake but the bigger ones are 90 (and there are a few "smaller" coasters with vertical drops too)

I never got to try the chiller but those zero gs (especially on the way back) looked insanely fast!

Why couldn't it be 90? It looks like B&M is afraid of giving their rides a little bit more airtime. For those who've ridden dive machines, how much air do the drops usually have?

^From the POVs, me too. It has the height and length and never seems to let up until the end but, like you said, we'll have to wait. At last a full POV! I really like that sideways/outside banked airtime hill.

I still maintain the zero g. That being said, I really enjoy B&Ms big loops.

I used the pass thingy on superman at Warner Madrid several times in a row and the woman checking it would laugh and be like: "Yay!! It's you! Again!"
