cfc Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 It's definitely a crazy-looking layout for a Flowrider.
_koppen Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That particular model of the flow rider is awesome! Bö Sommarland have a smilier one.
Blue Turbo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That looks really cool! I have yet to try out any version of a flowrider, but hopefully that will change soon.
SharkTums Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 The scariest Flowrider I've done was the one at Wild Wadi in Dubai. They had a 'normal' one and this terrifying one that tried to drown you if/when you wiped out!
Mr Stratosphere Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 ^ Have you done any of the ones that have a "curl" like San Diego's Wave House?
Mr Stratosphere Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Yikes! I think I will stick to the "normal" FlowRider thank you lol!
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I remember seeing some teenagers stay on it forever and do the tricks that look impossible for the majority of the visitors. Too bad I wasn't brave enough to give it a try but at least I was able to stay there for a minute at SFGAm's HH. Baby step Great pictures! The park looks amazing.
jray21 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 That really is a big wipeout wave! Looks like it would be pretty fun.

DJeXeL Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 My favorite floorless by far! Love lift hill shots.
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Only B&M coaster in my top 10. Best first drop among all B&M's I've been on including Sleeping Bull and Wildfire. I miss the tour so much! Great photos!
beatle11 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 My favorite floorless by far! Same here. This along with I-Rat gives Fiesta Texas a great 1-2 punch for their coaster collection.

DJeXeL Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) ^Does 1 train have wheel covers and the other not? That's odd. This is the 1st B&M Invert and I was under the impression both trains didn't have wheel covers. Edited February 27, 2014 by DJeXeL
rcjp Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 It just looks so odd, no wheel covers.... I've always loved the way B&M invert's covers look so it's kind of weird, I think.
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I wonder why the wheel covers was removed for the reverse version?
cal1br3tto Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 ^I'm not sure that has anything to do with it. I've seen this discussion a number of times over the years for this particular Batman. But like I said recently, IDGAF about wheel covers unless they're sharks. As for Superman:KC, that went from one of the most underwhelming floorlesses for me in 2011 to on par with any of the best. I'm pretty sure nothing about the ride changed, but in marathoning last year I noticed all kinds of forces I didn't remember feeling the first time I rode. At any rate, the zero-G roll is one of my favorites.
beatle11 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I really wish SLC's never existed and those Batman clones were there in their place.

At any rate, the zero-G roll is one of my favorites. It's such an amazing ride! I know exactly what to expect and every time I rode it still surprise me. Actually there is some nice lateral at the back row during the helix after the loop (is it a helix?)
