Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I voted for the Chicago 1920's as well. Out of all the ones they mentioned in Screams and Dreams this year, that one looked pretty well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster 2 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) The Great Ohio Coaster Club just posted this to Facebook from No Coaster Con.

screaminkid2005 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I feel like it might be a fright fest attraction because it's only for a limited time. I hope that it is running backwards when i go this summer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFreeze Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Six Flags Great America just announced Batman the Ride will be running backwards for a limited time in 2013. Thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 So is it going to be the whole train or just a row or two of seats? If it's like this during the Midwest Trip, then it's going to be a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Will this be the first B&M to go backwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traincrossin Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Batman is already a pretty intense ride, I can only imagine how epic it will be going backwards. Edit: In case anyone is doubting the announcement. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 So "Batman in the rear" is now "Batman in the front"? Pretty sure the GP will eat this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's like this during the Midwest Trip, then it's going to be a great time! According to the Great Ohio Coaster Club the whole train will be backwards, but there will only be seven rows instead of eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpuddle Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 With all of the "B&M would never let a park convert their stand-up into a floorless" talk we've all heard over and over around here, I'm surprised B&M is okay with this, as it seems to fall within the same realm. Very very interesting... would love to check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That would be absolutely insane... As if Batman: The Ride wasn't intense enough. -- James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoasterDan Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That would be absolutely insane...As if Batman: The Ride wasn't intense enough. -- James That's what I was thinking. This is going to be one intense ride, especially over those tight corkscrews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougMJr Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Please let this be during the Midwest trip! Backwards ERT would be EPIC!!! This is kinda unbelievable that they would try this and that B&M would be OK with it... Yup, just checked my calendar, it's not April 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 While backwards will probably be amazing, i'm kinda surprised they're going to run the whole train backwards - I would have them expected them to leave at least a few rows facing forwards.

Jew Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I can only imagine how intense this is going to be. I definitely approve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fire Guy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Now this is most definitely an OMFG announcement for sure! I can only imagine how insane the world's other old-school B&M inverts would be running like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
