You have to tell me when you're going because I really want to go on BTR but no one else that i know and/or want to invite wants to. And I don't really want to go on it alone. But then again... I went on RnR alone.
Let's see... 12 days til colonoscopy (appt got moved :D ) No school today :D

If you've rode V2, Batman is nothing. I'm comparing V2 due to the fact that it is inverted.

Launch coasters are awesome! The trick is to just keep your head back and then their's nothing to worry about.

that reminds me when i went to GAm a while back a girl was dancing in her seat and the ride op said "prepare for launch" about 3 times and she still didn't stop so he launched it and her head hit that seat so hard it hurt me
she came off holding her head almost in tears

First looper was Batman, don't remember when. Closed my eyes for the drop and the first loop, opened them just in time to see the heartline spin. Not the best time to re-open your eyes.

I'd have it the other way around. Can't stand not seeing first drops coming. Scares the crap out of me.

Same with me. I also can't handle the heights. Don't laugh, but i freak out at about 40 feet. Which is why i like RnR.

yeah, i'm hoping that my first coaster with an inversion at GAm is Demon, cause it seems that it is pretty common.

My first coaster with an inversion was Rockin' Roller Coaster at WDW. My second was Demon.

Me too. Interesting to think about now since Demon isnt half as "Thrilling" as RnRc...

However for RnRC it's enclosed so you have no idea what it looks like and what you're getting yourself into
I'd be willing to bet that if it was outdoors like it's clone at Walibi World, it's ridership would probably drop by a decent degree.

Looks more intimidating outside of the box.

Oh yeah. I'd still ride it. But i was talking to Whitney, a worker at RnR who grew up down the street from where i live now, and she said she rode RnR with the lights on and it was the most terrifying experience of her life. But... yeah, i'd still ride it.
