Does anyone have any pictures of batman in its early seasons it would be greatly appreciated? This was spawned by looking through my grandmother's album's and on the bird cages it looks like there was a line forming now for Batman by Splashwater Falls enterance

^ Page still works.

By the way, there is one picture on that page of Shockwave. Also, in the picture that shows Eagle, you can also see the 2nd Carousel that SFGAm had. A-Merry-Go-Round, or AGR for short.

Speaking of AGR, does anyone know whatever happened to it? Last I heard, it was still at the park, but in storage.

Those pics I posted have a wealth of historical info in them. The one of BTR from Sky Trek Tower shows Cajun Cliffhanger, Whirligig in it's pre-V2 location, the lighthouse, as well as two of the old skyride towers.

^Im not sure.

The only thing I can think of is that they had a overstock of yellow paint :lol: or it had to do with the new Mardi Gras area.

this was also taken before the actually theming to the ride was finished, there is not a tunnel, and extra theming in the front of the ride, and the tunnel on the block brake section going into the station.

I believe they enclosed the brake run the following year or possibly even 1994.
