prozach626 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 This weekend I took my last ride of 2017 after a great day at SFSTL Holiday In the Park with Emily. I chose Batman the Ride in the back row, which was hauling complete ass on its winter wheels. Â Â On a side not, Emily has never been much of a fan of sitting anywhere in the front row on inverted coasters. She enjoys more of the visuals on rides, so the front row has been our compromise on inverts. We were going to wait for the front row, but it was a 20-30 minute wait for the front vs. a one train wait for the back row. Typically, she pushes me to the outside, since she could almost care less about inverts. It's been forever since she's sat on the outside anywhere except the front, so I had to insist on her take the outer seat, since she's big on pleasing me. I was happy to see that when we hit the brake run she was actually grinning ear to ear and she really liked the back row since she sat on the outside and could see what was going on. WIN!

michaellynn4 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 ^^ That's awesome to hear. I always gravitate to the outside, back-row seats on the Batman clones, too. Glad to hear you seem to have a convert!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dombot Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Montu, row 7 during Christmas Town. Is it like a rule for all inverts to run rip-your-face-off style during a Christmas event? I've heard stories about Batman, and ol' Monty was absolutely in-sane in 50 degree weather. Best ride I've ever had on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollercoasterdude Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I was at magic mountain a few weeks ago and the last ride of the day, I believe, was full throttle. That hang time upside down on the loop is legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 ^Welcome to TPR, where some words are very magical and change accordingly to something more appropriate! Â Mine was Mystic Timbers during Winterfest. Coaster riding in the freezing nighttime winter is a completely different coaster experience, along the ranks with riding during rain, fog, and anywhere close to midnight.

bobrogin Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The last coaster I rode was Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce. I actually went up there increase my track record by riding Phobia Phear Coaster. Had I not done this, I would have failed to ride a new coaster each year since 1987.

bert425 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Rode 3 times on Iron Rattler today. Â Back, Mid-back, and Front. Â man, o man, is this a Front row coaster! HUGE pops of airtime in the front seat. LOVED it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 ^ Oooooo that sounds like a really nice thing to have done, today. Â It's a bit c-c-c-c-cold where we are, right now. Hope it's warmer where you were/are, Bert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's warmer where you were/are, Bert.  the day started in the low 50's and drizzly/overcast (as you can tell in the pic).  it stayed tolerable until the cold front hit San Antonio around 3pm, then temps plummeted to the low 40's and they started shutting down rides (luckily IR stayed running, but the line got long.. after 2 walk ons earlier, we waited almost 35 minutes for our final ride in the front row).  so yeah, no snow, or heavy rain, but cold/wet/drizzly.  still, a good use of the day (I'll have a trip report up shortly with tons of pics of Wonder Woman, which is almost complete (and they were working on today!). . . .all ready to go except for the lift section).
