DATman Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 ^well, look at the original inverts-they had multiple loop, and they aren't deadly, so it should be pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 Batman Begins media day kicked off with a pre-event breakfast. Soon after the huge buffet, the park director Cornelius Polo arrived to adress the public...  It gives me great pleasure to introduce to everyone, enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike, Batman Begins. I am proud to say that Bolliger and Mabliard were great partners and with their great help we were able to get this ride up as soon as possible. Batman Begins is a totally unique ride experience. Starting with a tight and intense 90 foot drop, the train will then rush into back to back vertical loops, which is an element never before seen on an inverted coaster. Following this, the train enters a cobra roll, and finishes with two intense wingovers. This is certainly one of the best inverted coasters ever made!  Here are some pictures of opening day... Some familliar faces were seen around the buffet tent. Paul Ruben was there to declare Batman Begins his number 1 coaster, Ron Toomer was upset B&M didn't use pipeline coaster track, Robb liked the ride, and Elissa did also, even though it wasn't an Intamin.  This is pretty much the entire layout  Another layout pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 ^LOL . While it looks deadly, it looks PERFECT 8) . Great job, my only thing is where does purple tie into Batman? Can't wait for more, and again, great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo1tx Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I really like this ride, however I don't like the colors, and I think something other than the standard grass should be below the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 ^But keep in mind it is Six Flags we're dealing with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 ^True, but I'll probably add the standard Batman dirt/pavement under the ride anyway. As for the colors, it's supposed to be dark bluish black, but yeah it does kinda look purple. Who knows, Six Flags might repait it yellow in a few years like they always do.

dragoncoaster1292 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 WOW! :shock: That is an amazing layout! It certainly is a very B&M like coaster, very twisted up. I like how the wing over twists right over the first drop. Overall, an awesome coaster, but I also think the colors are a little weird. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Could the purple color be due to RCT2 only offering 32 colors and that's the closest? Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 ^Exactly. That purple was supposed to be the Batman: Dark Night blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 New Rumor  Screamscape has posted rumors that an Intamin Rocket coaster might be on its way to Six Flags Acres of Adventure. It is rumored that Six Flags has been meeting with Intamin representatives discussing the new ride. Some suspect that a record breaker could be on its way to the park, while others say that something along the lines of Storm Runner should be expected. Remember though, this is just a rumor.  However, it has been confirmed that the park will expand for the season with a large childrens area, featuring childrens rides and even a small rollercoaster.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) Nice! Can I ask you, how do you do those announcement things? I would use them, if it's ok with you, because I think it's a great way to do a press release!!!

zburns999 Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Go right ahead. I've just been using microsoft paint and it really only takes like five or ten minutes. It would be cool if more people did the announcements because I think its one of the main things that adds to realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragoncoaster1292 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Cool. I was worried for a second when I read the name for Superman, mainly because coasters with names with the words 'Superman' and 'Escape' together tend to really suck. But then I realized that it was a rocket coaster, so I stopped holding my breath . Well, I'll be expecting pics soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexington Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Thats awesome. I too was building a rocket coaster @ my park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 ^Great. If it's not too much trouble, maybe you could post it up so we can comment and stuff. By the way, when I say rocket coaster, I really mean LIM launch, but we can all just pretend that its a rocket, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexington Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Lmao...sure can...is there really such an "accurate" rocket in RCT2? The best you can do is use those B&M tracks...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
