Well, Robin's side has the hump but Batman does not.

That's hardly even a hump. For some reason, I imagined it going down a bit, then coming up, like a typical bunny hop. That is basically straight track, although you will still definitely get some air-time on it.

 

I'm sure there were good reasons for making this modification though, they wouldn't just to it to be jerks.

[jarmor]

It could look that way because the pic was taking overhead but well...I dont know lol

[kraxleRIDAH]

You guys aren't looking closely enough. It's not a linear path of track...it has a bit of a sidewinding kick to it --- where the track banks rapidly to the left then immediately to the right before climbing the 200-foot tower. Go back and look at the images again...closely.

[DCs221]

I wouldn't say rapidly... that's a VERY drawn out transition. With the lack of banking, and the drawn out hill shaping/banking transitions, I don't think it'll be that great, and I'm about as sure as I can be without having ridden that it won't be anywhere close to as exciting as the rolls that were there previously. They were absolutely amazing IMO, especially with lapbars as opposed to OTSRs.

It looks like it has a zig-zag in one picture, but I don't see it in the rest of them. If it's there, it must be very gradual.

Dude Chiller is going to suck !!!!! That doesnt even look like a hill. Its more of just like a bump but a very long smooth bump. Man I sure miss those 03-05 rides. They had to be the best!

[vjgx]

To me, it just looks like an incline with a leveling-out at the end that may produce a bit of airtime...

 

The banking to left looked a bit strange in those pictures, though.

[alpengeist04]

I would have preferred more of a hill, but I'll wait to ride the new Chiller before having an official opinion.

[twisterbret]

The Chiller was testing yesterday 4/6

I know that people have made sure that there is not that much "whiping of the head", but this just looks painful.

[cobra_roll06]

yeah looks like pretty serious imo.

[coasterguy618]

This is good.....but shouldnt they wait until the get batmans hill?

[coasterrider1998]

Hey everyone I was there yesterday and I have top say with the transitions the train looks really smooth going through them. I sadly have to say no airtime may be induced but who knows. If you can...go to Gadv Source and look for Mysterio's Video of the day...I was the one in the DC sweatshirt.

You know what,.......to be honest..............WTF IS THAT!

 

 

I mean for real, what are they trying to pull, the zero-g roll was way better. who cares if it valleys! Deja Vu dealt with it!

Deja Vu doesnt valley with people stuck upside down, with a lap-bar only for 40+ minutes...

[Eric_Smith]

^what are you trying to say?

[IwantRevenge]

It was actually more fun than it looks, it was very fast and smooth, and sorry no airtime . oh and going up it looks really cool from the front row.

[baclueless]

I have to agree with "IwantRevenge"......it was so anti-climatic! I would have to say that I preferred the corkscrew.

But, hey....it was open today! With walk on conditions, Im not going to complain.

Clearly, you mean the Zero G rolls.

[benzo41190]

no airtime? Whats the point of having a hump there then?

So in case it saddles its not stuck upside down.

Not every hill on every coaster has airtime. I'm sure they looked at it the way of time and money. Instead of removing all that steel to pour more footings then add smaller supports all for having nothing there. They instead saved money on steel, time and work and we get a hill instead of nothing at all.

[overlord]

I do not know what you guys are talking about but there is clearly backwards airtime on the return trip. Either you must be too fat to feel it or you are just SOL.

I'm sure they are guessing since very few people have riddened it.
