Awesome that they are finally starting it! Wicked Cyclone probably laughs at this coaster.

 

Edit: My 100th post.

FINALLY!

 

 

Yay... concrete drain pipe's.

 

In all seriousness though, I am glad to see that there is finally some sort of progress we can see.

[RyanTPM]

Glad to see that they've started work!

[screaminkid2005]

I thought they were much further into construction by now. I hope they start picking up the pace so they can attempt to make a Memorial Day deadline. Good thing this coaster should go up fast.

Based on how compact the layout is, I don't think it will take long to finish building it.

FINALLY!

^ If this is so, they will most likely change the wheels or just run full trains every time. It would be awesome if this is true! But the ride does slow down dramatically while running in under about 48 degrees.

When was the last time Superman vallied? I've seen empty trains slow to a crawl on that stretch of track leading to the MCBR.

That train looks really good. I wonder if those vests will be as tight as the B&M vests.

[michaellynn4]

I really like the colors. Sleek!

[palmerleeberry]

With this newfangled train for the new Batman ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, it gives another reason why the riders and amusement park flyers should lose weight and keep their bellies from sticking too far out.

 

Still, the train looks sexy.

[DJeXeL]

I'm an Intamin fanboy to the max, but these look better than the Zacspin cars.

On a ride like this shouldn't they be tight? I haven't ridden a zacspin, so I'm just asking.

[GwaziBSRider1]

^ I thought the B&M vests were tighter than Green Lantern's, personally. I don't mind them being tight around the body, but I do around the collar. I should have been more specific in my initial post.

These coaster cars look pretty sick! I can't wait to compare between these cars and the X2 trains. I'm sure it'll be just as fun. Now they they've unveiled the Justice League stuff, I can see Scooby Doo making its way out of SFFT soon and being replaced with a Salky interactive dark ride.

[boardwalkbullet91507]

I really like these trains; they are super sleek and look very comfortable. I'm super pumped for this now, it's going to be a great addition to the park!

[rcjp]

Now that you mentioned it, I imagine they can now have their 4d coasters use these trains as they look more comfortable than the current ones.

[DoinItForTheFame]

Love the look of the new trains! And really love the vest style restraint. Should be rather comfortable. Can't wait to try this ride out next year.

LOL... or they could just come on these boards and complain about the park because they couldn't wedge themselves into the train.

I believe these use a different system than the 4D ones on X2 and such. The original 4D use the rails to flip the cars whereas the new Batman trains use magnetic strips to flip the cars.

[azombi]

well i'm def gonna have to lose weight, and i will for sure. I'm not gonna miss this cuz of my belly.hehe.

I thought the seats were going to face each other, but according to the new video it doesn't look like it. either way i'm stoked and so are my kids.

I know, I was just talking about the seats (with these vest restraints) as they seem more comfy
