Huh? I'm sorry but I have read your post 4 times and it still makes no sense.

(he means use the comfy trains of superman on batman, but on batman the trains would just remain lowered like a traditional invert like when superman is in the station loading)

The superman trains running on batman would be unnecessarily bulky even it it could be done. The S:UF trains need to hold your entire chest in. Batman's trains are suitably less massive (have less mass) because you're sitting and the layout is quite tight. I wonder if you put heavier trains on it there might be too much stress on the ride.
But of course I'm just speculating here; making guesses.

More than likely the trains would rip themselves apart.

I don't see why they couldn't come out with a new style of B&M inverted trains. I'm not saying like Superman because that would be, as mentioned above, too bulky. I'm saying something similar to how it is now but maybe a tad wider and have harnesses closer to X-Flight with that thinner material. X-Flight's harness are similar to Superman's but a bit smaller along the waist.

I don't see what's so wrong with Batman the Ride's trains to begin with?? Superman is the one with the seats that are broken much more than Batman, and Demon's trains aren't that smooth either. Demon's trains also do some funky thing on the lifthill once and awhile (It feels like it jumps the track.). Batman is the least worry about trains at the park. I like all 3 of these rides, but Superman's seats (on the trains) have the most problems that I see really. There is hardly ever a time when you don't hear Row ... only has 3 seats open.

^My favorite. "On this train row 5 only has 3 seats open." Next train pulls into station "Rows 3 and 6 only have 3 seats open." And what's wrong with B:TR's trains. There fine. If you think the ride is rough for some bizarre reason then don't ride it. Simple as that.

Is it just me or does BTR go too fast to the point where everything almost looks like a blur? Like I can't enjoy the scenery or see much. I just feel like I'm sitting in a simulator and Im being thrown side to side back and forth shaking violently. Pretty much the only time I can really see anything is departing and arriving at the station. Also aren't you more likely to get sick if you sit in front row?

This is why it's a good ride! Front row on SFGAm's BTR is incredible because of our unique scenery. At other parks it's pretty plain or non-existant.

^^ That's the point of Batman, short, sweet and intense. If you want a ride where you see the scenery, go ride Whizzer. Batman wasn't meant to be a tame ride were you can look all around you and enjoy the scenery (Not like Batmans scenery is anything special either, just trees and water). And I'd say you're more likely to get sick in the back where it tends to deliver an even intenser ride.
