I've ridden Batman in the back 3 times and it is pretty intense. After my third time in the back I didn't know which I liked better, the front or the back. They're both equally awesome...

for stand up and inverted coasters, i usually have to ride up front because ill black out in the fast loops and helixes...its the major reason i never ride batman or iron wolf anymore. as far as rides like v2 and wicked twister the g's arent really that bad at all. ive sat first and last row on both and there isnt much difference as far as the g's go.on a semi-related note, despite the fact that CP is my fav. park and i prefer most of the rides there to sfgam...i think i actually prefer v2 to wicked twister. that quick little hang up there is just amazing!!! but twister is an awesome ride too...especially at night.

Are you asking about how strong the G's are on Superman or V2? V2 doesn't compare to any of the G's on Batman, but Superman pulls alot more G's in the Pretzel loop and im sure some people will grey out because of it...especially in the summer.

Yes its like Batman, the back seat gives the most G's and in my opinion the best ride. :)

when I was sitting more in the back, it felt like I was falling out my seat for a moment.

I rode it 3 times today. Once in front and twice in back, one time being at night which was sweet. The g's in the pretzel loop are amazing and intense. I felt like I was being pushed into my seat. Very awesome ride, in my opinion it beats RB by just a tad.

I love this coaster, and I think it has the best inversion in the park. But I one complaint. It empties your pockets!! I lost 2 dollars in change, my carkeys, and my friends lost all their change! It happend right after the lift when your looking down at low speeds, you can hear the change falling out of peoples pockets. Under the lift you can see change in the mud. I had to have new keys driven 70 miles to me. So, other than the fact that it eats pockets for dinner it is a great ride and I was lucky enought to get 2 rides (one at night).

Oh.. that's not good. Nothing fell out of my pockets, I had 2 sets of batteries, a key, over 70 bucks, my season pass, and this little card my dad gave to me while in the park.

:lol: Sucks that you lost your keys. You should always wear cargo pants or shorts with zipper pockets, I've never lost a thing on any ride, and I always wear that kind of pants or shorts. Works like a charm. Zippers (unless they are carnival zippers) are one of the most important inventions in human history!

I did all my shopping this year with Superman in mind, all the clothes I have that I wear to the park have zippered pockets. They all are also able to hold, my wallet, keys and camera. :) Now I need to go shopping for belts, since the metal detectors don't like belts this year lol.

oh wow, that sucks so bad. I saw all the stuff at the enterance and I did see a few people steal a few basketballs. If they had the bins there I wouldnt of lost my keys. I dont see why we couldnt of left stuff in the corner. Must be a six flags stupid rule thing.

yeah. thats really really freakin stupid. we went straight to the ride, aiming to get on as early as possible...and once we got there, my friend katie went and put her small backpack by the railing, and the op had a fit. he made her go get, then wait in line for us to come back so one of us could hold it while she rode solo. thats is a bunch of crap because there is no reason that she (or anyone) should not have been able to just leave thier bags, balls, stuffed animals etc... in the station for a matter of 2 or 3 minutes while they rode...and if they dont put in bins (im hoping its just part of the incomplete landscaping project) then they are going to have a lot of angry customers complaing about a lot of lost and stolen stuff.
