I was looking at some pictures on google at batman in 92. I saw one that looked a little odd to me. There is no before station block brake house.(I don't know the name for it but I think I did pretty well with that one). Then I look at rcdb and I look at a 2004 picture and it does have that thing. I am so confused. I was only 1 year old whn batman was built I could not have ridden it or be old enough to remember anyway. So would someone confirm this to me?
I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.

Okay, then I ask you this: What was the scenery like in 92 and 93?

Being 3 or 4 at the time I cannot comment. I got this info from coaster sites, can't name one off the top-of-my-head though

I was on the original batcrew when the ride opened in 92. They did not have the breakshed that you see today which made it very interesting when there was a sudden downpour, especially if we let the train stack in the brakes. If the train got too wet it would slip in the station once the feed wheels tried to stop it so the floor could raise. Often Row 1 would be close to the end of the platform.
