The ride is alright, but no need to make a huge deal about it. Its similar to several other looping coasters, and yes it has NOTHING on Superman Ride of Steel. Still an ok ride, try the back, its good.

Why are you comparing a looping coaster to a hyper they are to deforent coasters with two deforent experiances.

different*

How can you give this ride a 7??? I know youre entitled to youre own opinion but really. I cant think of any recent B&M creations that deserve a 7. You said it was similar to several other Loopers which ones?? What do you rate them??

It is similar to many, like the Hulk ride at Universal, so it isnt anything new at all.

batman the dark knight looks NOTHING like the hulk, they r so different from eathother u can barely compare the 2. first of all, hulk has a launch and a cobra roll while batman doesnt. batman has a diving loop and interlocking corkscrews while the hulk doesnt. in fact, the only track element that is featured on both coasters is a vertical loop! and thats on just about EVERY B&M coaster. theyre so different its not even funny

Making ever looping coaster different from other ones isnt easy either..Batmam is small, they put some of the best inversions in this small coaster, thats why its so good.

whats funny is this coaster and all the wasted money that went towards it. It is way too small and yes it is very similar to the Hulk. The money could have easily gone to Cyclone cause God knows how bad that coaster is and it could use all the help it can get. Batman isnt worth any line waiting either, look at it. I encourage you to go to Universal where they have a much better ride!!!

how on earth can it be compared to the hulk???!!! The two rides could not be any more different!!!

please explain urself kangle, r u insane or can u gimme a few similarities between the 2 coasters?

Well first off, Hulk is a helluva a lot better than Batman. Now, They both loop and twirl (I wont get specific in terms cause Im not a coaster geek)they both have the same restraints. The only insane ones are the people who flip out on other peoples reviews and dedicate their lives to mastering coaster terms and exact speeds and other crazy shenanigans. While Im at it, YES they are the same, almost exactly! *Double Thumb Pose*

LOL, Guys, just...dont bother..take my advice..and just silence yourselfs.

Thats right, You shall keep quiet to me.

Actually it took me a few rides on Batman before I warmed up to it enough to give it a Nine. I was going to give it a seven like Kangle726. As I said in my review, Im really into a traditional coaster ride, no matter if its steel or wood. Inversions dont really excite me. I think it was the zero G roll, ironically, that got me to love this ride. Very smooth, and the way you float through it..... well it made the ride for me. But the point of all this is that a score of seven is not a bad score at all. I mean on a one to ten scale a five would mean average. So Kangle thinks the coaster is definitely above average, I think we can all agree to that. What I want to know is why didnt SFNE put Batman down near Cyclone (they could get rid of Blizzard River for all I care)it would help that area of the park a lot.

im not mad at the 7, a 7 is perfectly fine, but batman is so different from the hulk. i mean, sure they both "loop and twirl" isnt that what all looping coasters do? and sure they have the same restraints, theyre made from the same company! other than that they r completely different rides, theres no big similarity between the 2. i mean, sure, kraken and kumba r similar, so is chang and mantis. but hulk and batman?? thats just strange

Hey Mr. B&M Rider, I told you I wasnt going to get into coaster terms with you, so yes, it does twirl and loop. And average people wouldnt know it was made from the same company, only you and a few others. But yes, a 7 is a NICE score to give the ride. I never said it was a bad ride, its just not very thrilling. And I agree with everything Conor19 had to say.

i never said i didnt like ur score. i have no problem with what u gave the ride, i havent even been on it! its just that batman does not even look like the hulk at all. in fact, the average person would think its from a different company cuz both rides r so different. first of all, theyd immediately think "the hulk has a launch and batman doesnt" then theyd think "batman doesnt have a floor and hulk does"
then "they have different color schemes" theyre completely different in just about every way. thats all im saying. im not mad in any way about ur seven, a seven is a perfect score for a coaster, so i just wanna say that the 2 coasters r so different from eachother, ok?

oh yea, and if u do wanna yell at the person whos mad that u gave it a 7, then yell at daptwa. im not the one who said the ride deserved more than a 7

Well maybe you should ride it for yourself. You shouldnt judge the coaster if you havent rode it. If you rode Hulk, then youll see a similarity.

Ok...They are both great rides..Batman isnt like Hulk..and a 7 is a great score for this coaster..that settles that, On with our lives...[or those of us who have that

]

i havent judged the coaster!!!! i just said they r different rides!!! y r u still defending ur opinion?! i dont care about the score u gave batman, all i care about is y u think the 2 rides r similar

I swichted to De caffe

You are judging the coaster by saying they are two totally opposite rides. Thats like saying Peanut Butter and Jelly. Black and White. Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots. Right and wrong.

They are not opposite rides but they are no way similar. One has a floor the other does not. One is a launched ride the other is not. How are they similar?? I said something about the 7 you gave this coaster because I thought when you said its similar to several other looping coasters I thought you were refering to other florless coasters.If that was the case I would not see how this one would be the far less than any of the others. I would never have thought you were talking about Incredible Hulk.

Ive never ridden either, but I would have to say that a B&M with a floor and a launch is pretty different from a B&M without a floor and a launch.

sorry rd, i just do this and talk on AIM at the same time, so i dont change how i type. if you really want ill stop the online talk, it doesnt really matter to me. umm, kangle, please explain the metaphors. and i can judge both coasters and whether or not theyre similar without riding them, all you need to do is look at them to see how different they are.

LOL, I must have been in a bad mood that day..I dont care how you talk.

My turn, Batman is nothing like hulk. and the ride needed to be compact is they mad a coaster that took up more area and tookup allot of space they would have near as good of a ride and less room to expand. They are running out of room and need to ad rides inelegantly and they did just that with Batman - Dark Night.

Bottom Line is Batman is a huge waste of time, money, and space. Now all you of, be quiet!

hehe its alright rd

I believe it is okay to compare two rides even if they are different types of rides. Lets picture you going to Six Flags New England. There are about twenty minutes till closing. You have time for one more ride. You have to decide between Batman or Superman (you have ridden niether). You could decide based on this review saying that Superman was better. You can read a further discussion on the topic by reading Mojojojo13s review of the "Playland Plunge" at Playland Park in New York.

Kangle How can you say this is a waist of space and Money? If you were six Flags you would have to continue to add rides in order to keep youre fan base and to increase revenue. And what better way to do that than build a coaster for $9.5 million (less than Mind Eraser) and use little to no space doing so?

Ive said all this to him...Its not a waste of money, they needed to expand their coaster collection without using too much space. They Accomplished their mission Id say..instead of making a huge style floorless coaster they went for a smaller version but with the whole package basically, Minus a cobra roll and a sea serpent inversion.. Now they have room for say..an Intamin Impulse, a new CCI wood coaster, maybe they could take Mind Eraser away and add a B&M Invert, Sme new Midway Area.

Now, just stop talking crazy before more of them see what else your ass can say.

Coaster RD Do you think they will ever remove mind eraser?? Would they give it to it seems like everyone already one. That would be a great removal for space in the park though.

Yes Batman is a waste. They could have made a bery nice coaster, possible an equivalent to Superman. But I wanna know who the Portuguese moron is who came up with Batman?!

Let me ask you this? where do you propose they put a that is equivilant to superman?? Would you like it be traveling over youre head while you are getting out your car across the street? In case you have not noticed there is very limited land there builing batman was the smartest thing they have in the parks history. They gave the park another world class coaster while leaving more room for development in future years.

wait a minute kangle...u gave the ride a seven. doesnt that mean that the ride is ABOVE AVERAGE??? i have to say that no B&M is a waste of space. they r the best coasters, no other manufacturer can build rides that r as awesome as B&Ms. their coasters look good, they never have any huge maintenance problems, and they r some of the smoothest coasters in the world. their rides r creative, innovative, and original. i dont know how u got from a "i dont really like this ride as much as the better rides in the park" statement to a "this ride is a waste of space and money" statement. and then u think it is similar to th hulk??? listen, this ride is not a waste at all, i dont even need to ride it to know that. it is ranked 20th on this site!!!

and y did u erase ur review completely? r u backing down from ur own opinion?

Man, make up your mind. IN your reveiw you say that the ride is alright. Now you start calling it a waste of space and money

Exactly, the ride is a waste. It got a 7 only because I was in a good mood at the time. So Ill change it in due time. And yes I would like the ride over my head as I get out of my car across the street and yes it was the dumbest mistake made my Six Flags. World Class?? That Coaster belongs in Portugal!

haha, ur good sense of humor makes up for ur lack of common sense. listen, any B&M is not a waste. they r the best coasters in thw world. and also, have u read everyone elses revs? it sounds like ur the only one who thinks this coaster is a waste. if i was running a themepark and i was running out of room for coasters, i wouldve made the same choice. have u even noticed that its #20 on this site?

You do understand that houses surround the park and they had to fight just o get the 117-foot height they have. Also they havent permission to build rides across the street so thats not an option. They built a smart creative coaster. Yes, it may not be as big as Hulk or Medusa. But the theming is better then medusa and if they were to build a ride like hulk they wouldnt have any room to expand. I have no idea of your problem and you havent justified your opinion one bit. Its a good ride and well though out. You think that every park has unlimited space and money to expand. With the money they have spent wee lucky to have another coaster at all. They did the right thing with this coaster. Well priced, placed, and perilous.

totally agree!

Yes, thats the best way to explain it.

well I sure as hell hope B&M makes Superman, because that ride is the only reason that park remains open. Just look at what it was before, that damned, boring Riverside Park.

Superman also ranks 9 and there are many better looping coasters that rank better than..pfft..Batman.

AND...SFNE bought a big piece of land, so dont act like your Mr.Space himself, they can build there.

Its away from the park, Its like..after some houses. Its probably for parking.

Kangle I guess you want a coaster that rides through the living rooms and kitchens of the people of Agawam. Thats not going to happen!! That space is way down the street. It will probably be used for parking or a hotel like SFWOA. And yes Batman Dark Knight is a world class coaster!

World Class?! Man o Man..And that land could EASILY be used for rides and attractions. Ever hear of trolleys or walkways?? Probably not, Im talking to a World Class Coaster Expert here, my bad.

Ohhhhh you got jokes huh... How isnt this a world class coaster? Its made by B&M a world class designer. And yes, what they build is World Class Coasters. There are about 70 new roller coaster for 2002 and this one has to rank in the top 5 of those 70. Theres no way you can say this isnt a world class coaster. How many parks do you know who will use a ferry or a trolley just to get to another section of the park?? The walkway idea is just stupid.

i just have one last thing to say...kangle....i dont understand.....look at the OTHER batman revs, they are all good, unlike urs, where u go against everyone and say that only ur opinion counts and nobody elses.....ur wrong with what u say when u say that batmanb is similar to hulk, u r wrong when u say that sfne has all the room in the world...and ur DEFINITELY wrong when u say batman isnt a world-class coaster! ur comparing it to a 210 foot tall monster hypercoaster! batman isnt about height or speed, its about putting a coaster with the same kind of elements into a small space, so they have room for more coasters in later years. ur review didnt make sense, if fact, u dont even have a review anymore!!!! and u still havent told me why u erased ur review. u have defended ur opinion so much that it seems ur exaggerating this ride to the point of straight up lying!!!! batman is a world class coaster, and EVERYBODY can agree to that. i mean, come on, its made by B&M. when i first saw the ride i thought "wow theyre geniouses" cuz of how they fit a 5-inversion ride into such a small space. and ur comparing it to an SLC?!?!?!?! thats just lame, ur comparing it to an invert. do u think batman and mind eraser r similar too? please man, ur being an idiot. i suggest u stop now to keep urself from embarrassing urself anymore than u already have.

Uhhh.. watch the language

lol, should i erase the "I" word?

I didnt erase my review at all. It disappeared and same with everyone elses revs that were commented on. And I could gone on MUCH LONGER. And again, no it isnt a World Class Coaster kiddies. So you take your "SLCs" and your "B&MS" and give up. And as far as trolleys and walkways not exsisting, you Coaster Crazies take a trip to Lake Compounce in CT and I expect an apology when you come back. LOL You are wayyyyyyy into this man. Wowzers! LOL

And the only embarrassing "thing" is YOU. Look at you, you flip out worse than an overweight at a buffet table over a roller coaster?? Cmon Now, its only a "World Class Out of this World Small useless Coaster" were talkin about here.

Geez.

Mrk, My comment was jus making fun of us New Englanders like when I said "retarhDID bastDID" it was meant for a laugh. If it offended anyone, its just a joke.

its like u dont even listen to my point, ur figting an uphill battle...do i have to repeat myself again?? no, y dont u open ur eyes and actually read the post i put up. u didnt even give an explanation for urself

I sure Did. Batman is no good. Bing. Im up two points.

Kang, did you erase the review or is it just missing? I need know know if something is erasing the actual reviews, because im not.. hrmm now thats weird.. its not showing... ill will fix that monday.

I didnt erase it. I noticed the same thing on other peoples revs that were commented on.
