DoinItForTheFame Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I'm just throwing this out there, but they have got to get that spinning under control. OK, seriously, what the heck is with all you people? I thought we were coaster enthusiasts here. I'm disappointed in all of you who have said the spinning needs to be brought under control. For shame. I love roller coasters just as much as anyone else on here, but that spinning does not even look fun. That spinning seriously looks like it is going to have a high number of people throwing up. I'm sure Six Flags will get the spinning under control by the time the ride opens. But for now it just looks like to much spinning for the greater part of coaster enthusiast, and the general public to be able to handle. And I'm pretty sure a lot of people here agree with me.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 ^^ I agree! This just looks like a vomit-inducing machine from my nightmares. If the spinning is kept at this pace, there's no way I'd ever ride it.
DJeXeL Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 It's still testing people. Give them time to make adjustments. It's not opening in an hour.
richtrav Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Is it just me or does the rear far side pair of seats seem to be swinging less extremely than the other seats?
Swede Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Every ride will be different. Alan Shilke said that the riders can control the spinning by simply moving your arms and legs at IAAPA. They were accually competing on the prototype to see who could make it flip the most. I'm guessing it goes crazy because it's just dummies or empty trains.
robbalvey Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Got in this super cool media kit from SFFT today! Can't wait for the media event!
thrillerman1 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Snacky snack snack snack snack snack...the media kit looks suh weeeet. Thanks for sharing, Robb! Edit to add I could see SF selling a play toy of this ride in their gift shops.
cyberdyne-systems Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Check out this new SFFT tweet: BREAKING NEWS on May 10 @ 11am. You thought you knew everything about #BatmanTheRide ... #SFFT2015
KBrylczyk Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 ^ The onride photo will automatically throw Batman's mask on faces?
DarienLaker Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 ^ The onride photo will automatically throw Batman's mask on faces? Maybe SFFT would have the option of an on ride photo to add a Batman mask to riders faces for an additional charge to the photo price.

aeyrolet Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 After watching some of the test runs this weekend, it looks like each side might offer a different experience each time you ride. It looks like some of the fins that help you spin are longer and shorter on some sides. I'd be interested to see which if any side is better and spins more.

Some are in different spots along the track too. Can't wait!
KBrylczyk Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 So, wait, was anything announced yesterday morning? There's nothing I can find.
cyberdyne-systems Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 ^It was just a video on the SFFT facebook page. No big announcement really (although that's what I was expecting too) but it's kind of a cool video, I guess. Here's a link for ya
Swede Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Since people seem to have missed my previous post I'll quote myself. Yes, every ride is different. Every ride will be different. Alan Shilke said that the riders can control the spinning by simply moving your arms and legs at IAAPA. They were accually competing on the prototype to see who could make it flip the most. I'm guessing it goes crazy because it's just dummies or empty trains.

It would have been cool I guess to paint the two rails in a different color and make one side Batman, the other a villain. Like this. None of these color suit Batman I know, it's more like the Joker I also thought of putting a long fin on the lift hill: bam, the world first front/backflip lift in the world!

Maybe use these colors for another park and call it "The Joker."
aeyrolet Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 After seeing the different colors of track on Twisted Colossus, I don't see why RMC couldn't make a different color track for this ride at a different park!
