If you have no interest in any particular show, or shows in general, just vote for Chicago 1920s.

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.

The Great Ohio Coaster Club just posted this to Facebook from No Coaster Con.

Oh boy...

[screaminkid2005]

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.

Thank God.

[Ccron10]

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!

[SharkTums]

Will this be the first B&M to go backwards?

Say WHAT??!?!!

[Wes]

Nuts!

[traincrossin]

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.

So "Batman in the rear" is now "Batman in the front"?

 

Pretty sure the GP will eat this up.

[11slataus]

As painful as this could be, I am really looking forward to trying this out...

[jray21]

That is very interesting.

[historyfreak92]

Is this really for real?

According to the Great Ohio Coaster Club the whole train will be backwards, but there will only be seven rows instead of eight.

OMFG!!!

[southpuddle]

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!

[Team Thriller]

That would be absolutely insane...

As if Batman: The Ride wasn't intense enough.

That's what I was thinking. This is going to be one intense ride, especially over those tight corkscrews.

[SuperShawn]

Holly crap... Just don't know how to feel about this...

[DougMJr]

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.

[scbt]

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]

I can only imagine how intense this is going to be. I definitely approve!

[Blue Fire Guy]

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.
