Isnt it weird that a lot of parks are now getting "Superman" rides now? Its kinda getting stupid with all these supermans and batmans and other superhero names.

Yea I think it is cool to have a superhero be a ride name and have the ride themed like the hero!

Well it is Six Flags and they follow a common theme. Superman and Batman are two comics that they follow and the rides are good so I'm not going to argue.

No, not all the Batman coasters are the same.You have the Batman:TR invertedsYou have Batman:KF which is a floorless.You have Batman:DK which is also a floorless but a different layout.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

And I forgot to mention "Batman and Robin: The Chiller" which is a dual LIM/LSM coaster.

I don't really mind all the Batman/Superman rides... I don't see why it's so horrible that they have a lot of them.

No, Joker, he means Batman. It's a stand up at Six Flags Astroworld. It's one of the few Intamin stand ups that look very B&M-like.

Corey, I believe that would be Batwing, it is at SFA. It is a clone of X-Flight.

Or is X-Flight a clone of Batwing!? Muhahahaha :twisted: I forgot about Batwing, that ride looks really cool because of its location next to a forest. It looks like in a couple turns your fly right toward the trees.

I think it's good to have many Batman and Superman rides. Why not exploit them when you have the rights to them? However, I think that they should use some other characters also. (Cough Wonder Woman cough) How about having a Tom&Jerry ride considering it's on Cartoon Network also? If they ever had a TMNT ride, I would probably keel over.

This is going to sound sexist, but do you really want to ride "WONDER WOMAN THE RIDE?" now i know some of you would want to ride wonder woman, thats a different convo on a different website, but seriously?

NEW AT SIX FLAGS: Challenge WONDER WOMAN THE RIDE

sorry folks not going to happen.


As for TNMT? Seriously how old are you?

One other comment, if there ever was a Wonder Woman ride, would it have to be down for 1 week a month for unspecified reasons? :lol:

What about Flash The Ride? Yes, that does sound weird but think about Flash is a super hero because of his SPEED. And some roller coasters are known for their SPEED.
