I remember I blacked out on DejaVu for a few seconds last year. It was really weird, at first when I came back to full consciousness I did not know where or what I was doing.

It's all of the G's your pumping on those turns the same thing has happened to me. It's even worse in the front row because you fell more of the G's in your legs and such. The ride has got a little more speed to it now also could that be becaue of the new paint job?
I blacked out on Batman once a few years back, but it's never happened to me since. Going up the second tower of Deja Vu I started seeing grey but didnt fully black out. On Superman after the pretzel loop I dont black out, but I get a big head rush.
I've never blacked out on any rides at SFGAm.
although yesterday at SFGAm, I did grey out a couple of times, once in the station for Superman, and the other time in the station of Raging Bull.
But I think that was from a lack of fluids, it was sooo hot that day(yesterday). But I was fine.
Something like that happened to me once. It happened on the pretzel loop on S:UF, otherwise on all the other times ive ridden on it it hasnt happpened. and nothing else happened to me on other roller coasters
It happens to me all the time, but Batman is the only ride that does it for me and it's only been recently. The front rows are okay, but the further back you go, the worse it gets.

It's only been recent for me too. Since I've first been on it, I've gotten bigger and older (you would think I'd been able to handle it better) and the ride has aged itself also, but it just seems to just be getting more and more intense. I love it though.
I havet been to the park yet (this year) so I dont know about batman or iron wolf...I used to always grey out on shock wave right after the third loop....weirdest think...BTW the difference between black out and grey out it black out is when you are unconcious....and grey out is when you lose color in your sight so everything is black and white...woah that rymed lol...
I also greyed out on Iron Wolf's corkscrew on my trip on Monday. It was my first time doing that on that coaster. I think it had something to do with the heat.

Shockwave used to get me too! So far that and Batman are the only two though.
