LawlessBagel Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not entirely sure if this has been mentioned but Baynum has been hard at work making Superman bright and shiny again. https://baynumpainting.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/painting-update-superman-krypton-sf_fiestatexas/ I can think of a couple DC themed coasters and one explosive coaster at Great Adventure that could use Baynum expertise!

Goliath, Superman & especially Scorcher could all use paint jobs, such a shame that it's such a pretty park, but the paint jobs are lacking big time on some of the coasters.. Especially Scorcher & Goliath since you see those as you walk into the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Batman looks to be extremely short from that POV. A lot shorter than I thought it'd be. Yes but you flip like 10+ times and dont even know youre on a track so it should be much worth it A MCBR as on zac-spins could have been appreciable, though. It lengthen the ride-time without making it too intense, plus it builds anticipation for the second part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Peabody Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Is the new Batman coaster any different in layout from the Green Lantern at SFMM? I've got a better chance of getting to LA than to Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Is the new Batman coaster any different in layout from the Green Lantern at SFMM? I've got a better chance of getting to LA than to Texas.Its pretty similar in course direction, but the experience is worlds apart. Because of how the ZacSpin cars spin it's a very polarizing ride. Some people like myself love the intensity and cant get enough, but a lot of people find it far too uncomfortable. Batman shouldn't have that effect. People may or may not like it for their own reasons, but they shouldn't find the spinning as violent as on the ZacSpins. Schilke said the new cars were specifically designed to fix that problem. Twisted Colossus is opening this spring/summer too over there though, so that should be a good trip either way. I'm trying to get to both, one in May and one in September. Just havent figured out which to do when yet, waiting for MM to announce an opening date for TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnumFreak25 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Are they gonna dig out the bottom any more? It seems like clearance may be little close to the ground there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 ^The train will be sitting in an inverted position and you would be sitting on a wing, so you'll be sitting at about the same level of the track. It seems just about right to me for loading and unloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberdyne-systems Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just read an article about the new Soaring Eagle Zipline addition to the park. Supposedly, the station for the zipline is going to be in Rockville and it's going to fly over SKC, among other rides.

Mrlittle Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Is Six Flags Fiesta Texas getting rid of Pandemonium for a Zip Line? I really can't tell if your joking but no. The zip line station will be right across from the new Batman ride entrance in Rockville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaring Eagle Zipline to Open at Fiesta Texas this Spring Posted on February 19, 2015 | By Meredith Hayashi A thrilling new attraction is set to open this spring at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The Soaring Eagle Zipline is a unique way to gain a breathtaking view of the Fiesta Texas grounds. Unlike most single-passenger ziplines, riders sit side-by-side for a shared hair-raising experience. View of both sides of the park during this 1500 foot ride during which guests soar both forwards and backwards over several other rides and attractions. The zipline swoops over the Superman Krypton Coaster track six times and will offer a view of the new Batman: The Ride 4D Coaster. Riders will begin their trip at the station in Rockville and be pulled backwards more than 150 feet off the ground to dangle above the quarry walls. Once they reach the pinnacle of the flight, riders sail forwards and are safely decelerated as they reach the zipline station. This ride was designed with the whole family in mind as passengers 40” and taller are able to jet through the air.
