I like the colors. It really sets it apart from all of the other Batmans.

------------------
Am I really that shy?

That is definately a great color scheme.

Wow that was fast..

That is the coolest color scheme for a batman ever!

question for the relocated ride experts: do they fabricate all new supports? or how do they get them all to be the same as they were in the other location? thats always bugged me.... anyone know?

Is that a new B&M, or is it from some other park? Also, what type of coaster is Jester?

Looks great!

I think they pour the footers to match the supports. Or if Gambit was built on level ground I would think it would make it pretty easy to relocate it. From what I've seen, most rides, unless they involve terrain, have footers that are level with eachother, so fabrication of new supports wouldn't be needed.

JD,

Some of the supports were actually sent to Avondale Shipyard here in New Orleans to be modified for our terrain.

Rollerfreak8,

This B&M is the old Gambit coaster from Thrill Valley Park in Japan (Mirror image of most of the Batman: The Rides)

Jester is the old Joker's Revenge from Six Flags Fiesta Texas with a new paint job and remodeled trains. The new colors are like the Deja Vu coasters.....blue supports and green track.

It's like they breathed new life into the Batman clones.... amazing what paint can do to people's opinions ( =

If I remember correct, There were a few new B&M supports spotted leaving the Cincinnati area going south that were marked "SFNO".

Remodeled or simply repainted and repaired? Do you have any basis to believe they have changed anything about these trains?

The park is shaping up really well and I'm sure people visiting next season will be wowed by Batman, both in looks and ride. I don't think I've ever been this excited about a Batman: The Ride opening (and it sounds like everyone else is impressed as well). I hope Six Flags will have the park running a high quality experience from the get-go like the majority of the big themers (WDW, USO, BGT, SFOG, SFOT, SFFT, etc.) in the south.

I know for a fact that they have changed things about the trains but can't say to protect sources. By the way, thanks for your ongoing interest in SFNO Fierce Pancake.

I wonder if this Batman will be themed like almost all the others?

Hopefully it'll run better than the last few seasons at Fiesta Texas. Since they are still the Arrow trains though, I imagine they'll get rougher as time goes on. When it opened at Fiesta Texas it was a smooth ride, but within a couple years it got pretty rough.

I hear that this one will not have the queue like the other Batman: The Ride's but will have a station like the Vampire at LaRonde but with some themeing. We'll see soon.
