Nitro!!! #1

I am glad lots of the parks are replacing those dang over the shoulder restraints.  I think the industry is realizing that a  seatbelt and a  lab bar is sufficient

There is a ride review at sixflags.com.  The person got the second ride of the day.

I rode Robin yesterday and the ride rocks.  It is so much better.  The line was long but it was worth the wait.  I love the ride even more.  Now I can't wait till the Batman side opens.

Did "they" close the Batman side now?

Hopefully this bodes well for the Mr Freeze models

I RODE IT!!!!!  Go read my ride reviw in the General forum.  And yes, the Batman train is no where to be found...I guess they already shipped it out to be given lap bars.

For those of you that have ridden it: How does a Cobra Roll feel with just a lapbar? :)

I called and they said Robin was closed and the Batman side was also.

Is it going to be open for the rest of the year now?

I rode it yesterday and it was amazing!!!  It seems so much faster than batman.

what will batman be like with lap bars on... ;D

The ride is interesting on the internet (since I will NOT travel all that way to ride it), but I really can't see how it can make the ride better with lap bars. Can someone (who doesn't think they know it all) explain that to me?

It is alot smoother and doesn't bang your head around anymore thats what makes it better. If you ever rode a Premier coaster you would know the OTSR are HORRIBLE and PAINFUL.

Dude, you just have to ride it to really know.

I heard that Batman was going to be opened for the rest of the season, and then they were going to send the Batman vehicle off to the "shop." That's just what I heard.

Can someone tell me how doing the Zero-G roll felt with lap bars? I have never done that meanuver with lap bars. Just OTSR's. It must be awesome. I wish they would've done that before this season. I finally got up there only to find both sides closed. Bumber. Plus Viper is closed. Anyone know what's up with Viper? I can't wait to get back there, although, It will have to be sometime NEXT season. :*( But hopefully by then Batman will be opened with lap bars by then too. I'm so excited.

i was there a few times this summer and wondered what happened to robin. i'm quite excited, as this is my favorite ride at SFGA (well, Nitro's pretty great, but get's older quicker). i agree with medusafanatic to answer the question - the restraints on that ride were terrible. the line used to take forever not just because of the rides limited capacity, but because they made you take all of your jewelry/sunglasses off or else you would get hurt. SFMMLover, if you've ever ridden any ride by vekoma like Mind Eraser (with the exception of deja vu, which i've heard is better), it's a similarly painful experience. i'm excited that premier did this - i was afraid they'd just stop running the ride because of all the complaints. maybe vekoma will take a hint, as well...

Nelson, I rode Deja Vu and did NOT like it at all. It was one of the worst rides I've ever been on. In response to the girl who calls herself the queen of coasters, I don't really have to ride it to know how it is. Just a simple explanation of the statistics behind the ride and what some people, and I do mean some, think of it. In your case, I bet you love the ride, but that doesn't do anything for me. Medusa, that is all I needed to know, thank you.
