Postby Galvan on September 1st, 2003, 9:31 pm
Its the battle of the Superheros! with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Actually is not. Its Which is better Superman Ultimate Flight or Batman the Ride?And after my marathons on both of them today. I just dont know the jury is still out. But what do you think?Somethings about the Rides.A. They where the first of there Kind at GAB. They both have incredibly long lines at any given day at any given point.C. They are made by the same manufacturer.D. They are themed after Superheros(DUH)E. They arent exactly the longest rides in the park. But, each has there own about them that makes eachone really good.What do you think?Its Superman vs. Batman(AGAIN I TAKE BACK ALL THE NEGITIVE THINGS I SAID ABOUT B:TR)REMEMBER 9/11 VICTIMS:9/11/01Jacqueline Ann Switek: 5/19/83--9/11/01"Terrorists can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot dent the steel of our resolve" President George W.

Batman. Even though Superman has the weird sensation of flying, Batman pumps out G's the entire ride. I don't care how short it is, it's so intense, and I love it. Beat's Superman Easily.

Overall, Batman is a better ride. While the Superman pretzel loop is by far the best element on either ride, Batman delivers from start to finish, while Superman just doesn't deliver much intensity in its second half.

Well, tonight I had my best 2 rides I have ever had on batman. The ride threw me around so fast I couldn't keep up. So my vote would definatly go with Batman. For a first time coaster, you never know when/where the ride will end. I now think that Superman should be called Pretzel Loop : The Ride b/c that is all it is really good for. The rest of the ride is padding to extend the ride time. Batman is rapid fire inversions and non stop turns. After riding batman, your feet tingle. So Batman hands down.

Batman. The Gs are there the entire ride (not the lift obviously). Superman is fun, but only the pretzel is good. After that its pretty tame and literally no forces. Batman is by far the most intense ride at the park. Its the original Batman and definitley the best.

I personally like Batman a lot better. Superman got boring after a while. Batman gets better and better every time I ride it. It pulls lots of G's through the whole entire ride, unlike Superman which only has insane G's in the pretzel loop.

Hmm. This isa tricky one... But, I think B:TR gets the edge. I have great respect for this ride, it packs intense G's into a small lay out. Plus it has great theming. Superman is great but Batman is better in my opinion.

Galvan, use one sig or another, don't post both. There is a check box below the reply box when you are typing messages.But anyways, I'm just glad they didn't make the Superman vs Batman movie, Superman would obviously win, I mean, come on, a utility belt defeating a super-strong super-smart super-everythings yellow-sun-ray-enhanced Kryptonian? What kind of a movie would that be?So, obviously Superman is better. :lol:

Im referring to your ride count on DV and Superman, your at 50 and 56, and im at 46 with Raging Bull.. So in that respect im right behind you in terms of ride counts thats all. Geez no need to be all rude about it :?

Batman for sure! S:UF was ok the first few times, but then it got boring. Batman gives you a crazy ride the whole way through, while S:UF gets pretty dull after the Pretzel loop.
Nothing to see here....

Well, you're comparing 2 different rides, that got him confused Galvan. But anyways, I think if you keep count of coaster rides, and you've had more than what you can count on your hands, you have too much time on your hands.

Was Superman really the first of its kind at GA? I was under the impression that S:UF was a clone from some other park.Could someone please enlighten me?

What i mean by that, is the ride type for example Suspended and Flying where the first time we've seen this types of rides at GA. I know that S:UF is a clone but, its the first time a ride of its type has been seen in the Midwest let alone GA. As for Batman its the first of its kind period.
