coasterbill Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I've been on most slc coasters in the states, and for some reason the Michigan's adventure version is the only tolerable one.Weird thing is, when it was at Geauga lake I felt the same way about it. I haven't ridden it at MA but I agree, when it was at Geauga Lake I loved it and I sort of remember everyone always raving about how it was so much better than every SLC with no explanation as to how that was possible. I'm glad to hear that it held up after the relocation. Long live "Serial Thriller". lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Actually, I remember us riding The Batman SLC in Six Flags Mexico, during the 2013 TPR Tour. And...it was great! Everybody was surprised by this, as it was pretty smooth and the transitons weren't as jarring as they've been on other clones. A surprisingly smooth and fun SLC! We were shocked!

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I like SLC's. . . I'm just curious but were you by any chance dropped, or thrown on your head as a child?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickflipbacktail Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Superman at SFOG Boomerang at Carowinds (is the smoother of the 2 I've ridden) Batman The Dark Knight at SF Great Adventure is the best Wild Mouse I've ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hamilton Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Tempesto for its clones because of colors, theming, longer trains, and its park is the best And the OTSR's aren't bad imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pear Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Tempesto for its clones because of colors, theming, longer trains, and its park is the best And the OTSR's aren't bad imo I found Phobia to be much better than Tempesto in terms of restraints, force, and overall experience.

Janusz Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 RoS at DL is way better than RoS at SFA, I had the chance to ride both this summer. Not only due to a new train that is suprisingly comfortable, but the drop going over water gives a pretty cool effect during the day and at night. Seriously an underrated ride when you consider the airtime it has on a 90+ degree day with a full train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm going to SFOT tomorrow. Based on what was posted here, I'm a bit excited about riding Batman there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 A few came to mind: Mega-Lite clones: Kawasemi Eejanaika/Dinoconda: Eejanaika Batman clones: SWSA Bullet Coaster clones: Shenzhen Sheikra clones: Happy Valley Shanghai because extra airtime Is there a big difference between the Intamin mega lites?? I always thought they ran really similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaffstar Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 In case of Boomerangs Speed of Sound directly came into my mind. EDM, LED light tunnel, new trains with good onboard audio... I also think Blue Tornado at Gardaland was quite enjoyable, it wasn't as rough as the other SLCs and it has a bonus helix And Crush's Coaster is the best out of the SC 2000s for me.

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well, I'm having trouble deciding between SFOT Batman and SFSTL Batman. SFOT- a bit rough to me but it has awesome theming! SFSTL- smooth and forceful but has lame theming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugjackson Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Boomerang: Cobra @ Power ParkSLC: Thunderhawk @ Michigans Adventure Batman Clone: Vampire @ La Ronde Wild Mouse: Wild Mouse @ Lagoon SC 2000: Crush's Coaster @ Walt Disney Studios Park Vampire is a mirror of Batman. All Batman the rides start with a left off the drop ...Vampire starts with a right and all the rest of the turns are reverse of Batman...ie a mirror Edited November 2, 2016 by eugjackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angle O. Descent Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 B&M Batmans: all equal except Magic Mountain (rougher than the rest) Vekoma SLC: I avoid most like a plague, but Mind Eraser at Darien Lake was most tolerable Vekoma Flying Dutchman: Batwing at SF America Vekoma Boomerangs: Bat at Canada's Wonderland (train is from their Arrow Looper) Premier LIM: Joker's Jinx / Poltergeist (vs. Flight of Fear) Maurer XC2000: Laff Trakk at Hershey Reverchon Spinning: Exterminator at Kennywood (during Phantom Fright Nights) Zamperla Volare Flyer: any one that gets demolished before another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyfreak92 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I would like all three batman clones from SWSA, SFFT, & SFOT! The other clone I really like is an Vekoma SLC Serial Thriller where Astroworld used to be! It wasn't very bad! It would always be my first starter coaster!
