Sportsdude360 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Has any testing been done on Catwoman Whip yet? I saw them testing Riddler last week but there wasn't any activity around Catwoman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Not going to lie... The back fence for Harley Quinn actually looks good. . . However, I bet it wont stay looking that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yeah, these rides are looking pretty good. I can't wait for next week and the season pass holder previews!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and there is video out there of them testing the emergency brakes too. Basically they run the ride fully spinning and extended and then apply the E-Brake. Its all part of the testing process.

Sportsdude360 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Actually, I'm not sure which ride I'm looking forward to the most. Both look great!! We all know how good these Giant Discoveries are but how many of us have ever ridden an Endeavor? I have ridden the old Huss Enterprise rides many times, but never an Endeavor. But just looking at the ride when I'm at the park, it looks to me like it would be incredibly fun to ride. If that's true then having both of these rides added at same time is a fantastic upgrade to our park's ride collection!

A little unknown fact, Six Flags Over Texas is the only park in the world to have an Endeavor 48. The standard Endeavor 24 only allows for riders in a single line, where as the Endeavor 48 has two seats side by side. This allows for you to sit next to your friends and family.

Sportsdude360 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 ^Yes, I mentioned that in one of my earlier posts. The Endeavor 48 is also called the Giant Endeavor. And those 48 seats not only allow you to sit next to your friends, but they also allow for tremendous rider capacity!!! If you watch YouTube videos of the Coney Island Endeavor you can clearly see it only has the single seating. It also appears smaller than our Giant Endeavor.

I must of been absent that day you wrote that post, because I missed it. I apologize. Cheers for shorter lines because of larger capacity! Whoo hoo!

Sportsdude360 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Here are some of my pics from yesterday's commercial shoot. Most of the riders had to sit for hours waiting for camera men to make adjustments before the ride even started. These poor riders had to sit for a long time waiting for adjustments to be made in the filming equipment Judging from their reaction, Catwoman Whip must be an amazing ride! Commercial shoot Riders sit for hours to allow directors to get the footage they need Technicians work on the camera mount before filming on Catwoman Whip A camera man films riders on Harley Quinn Spinsanity This time there were no riders. They were just testing the camera rig Riders pose with their hands in the air for camera men I hope those restraints are secure!!!! Preparing to film a commercial Camera rig on Catwoman Actors pose for a camera man on a motionless Spinsanity These photos will be used for print ads This is one of my favorite shots. Here you can see Riddler and Sky Screamer together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmik72 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 As far as I know the only perk on Thursday, is getting to ride before regular season pass holders and the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeyrolet Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hey TPR, I had the opportunity to attend the Gotham City Commercial Shoot this past Saturday. I was able to ride both Riddler Revenge and CatWoman Whip several times. Both rides are a great addition to Six Flags Over Texas. Riddler has some amazing speed and awesome air time! CatWoman is a ton of fun and is a great family ride. Here are some photos I took of the rides. I'll also be attending the Media Day event to morrow morning. I know Chaster will probably be covering that for you guys, but I may be able to get some additional footage for you. This whole area of "New Gotham" looks amazing. The entire area looks incredible at night with both rides having light packages. They are also building a stage off to the side in between Riddler and Harley Quinn. This will be a place for night time entertainment. This summer, "New Gotham" will be the place to be at night at Six Flags Over Texas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 the rides look fantastic! tho the English Minor in me (from UT Texas), cringes every time I look at those gorgeous signs "Catwoman Whip" and "The Riddler Revenge" why not: "Catwoman's Whip" and "The Riddler's Revenge" ? did Six Flags save money by not using apostrophes???

No unfortunately, the park was not able to get the licensing for either to be possessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No unfortunately, the park was not able to get the licensing for either to be possessive. then they should have just put the chracter image up, and called them "Whip" and "Revenge" at the end of the day, the rides are a fantastic addition to the park, it just bothers me to see them do something half-assed (tho really, it's Six Flags, so I should expect perfection? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
