So far only ground clearance is currently under way on a compact footprint near Batman the Ride & Riddler’s Revenge, but the new trains have already arrived. Vertical construction is expected to begin in March with a scheduled Memorial Day weekend opening.

At least it has the nicer restraints on this one. Inferno's hurt so much when you had sunburn on your shoulders. Actually, are they the same? I better not be sun burnt when I hopefully get to ride it next year lol!
 
^Or you could just wear sunscreen/cover your shoulders when you go on the ride...


On the ride itself... Hard to say how I feel really... Haven't been on one, so cannot judge it, but it should at least fulfill the role of queue soaker at the park... Sommat different for the Americans as well...

Good addition I'd say... Though they need to improve some of their flat selection...

When they're already burnt, sunscreen isn't exactly helpful is it? Also, I didn't mean in causing an abrasive feel on the shoulders, it's the pressure, we were inverted in the brakes nearly to the bottom, all this time my shoulders pressing on the restraints. No matter how much I covered them up, it wouldn't have made a difference.

Aftersun then?

Of course, as you were sunburnt beforehand, you weren't protecting yourself adequately...

Yeah, well, thing is I VERY rarely ever burn, it was only because I fell asleep on a sun bed when I was slightly intoxicated.

I'm sorry, I do apologise to you, next time, I'll make sure I put enough Sun Cream on..
 
Benin*insert ellipsis here* Just shut up*insert ellipsis here* Please?


Cool colours for the trains though, cheers for the pic Jerry. THAT shade of green really is quite nom and not in your face like any brighter shade would have done it. I really do NEED to ride one of these, they're always given stunning reviews. :p

Lol, what a random story... Surely painful though...


And Neal... I'm bored of your vendetta against me...
 
I think the GP is going to go near the ride and be like "Yo look wat they did to riddler! they added a new part to it!" Does anyone else think that some people are going to think like that?

Anyway it looks really cool the trains and the color.
 
I hope when they come to put the guards on the cars they don't use that stupid sunflower/sawblade style design.

I can see them saying,. "look, it's the new Flashback"!
 
Sometimes having like coloured coaster near each other works out well, at least it does for Heide's Big Loop & Limit.

Also the fact that the track types are completely different will probably make it much easier.
 
Hmm, I wonder if this is going where free fall was... Seems like it would be a waste of space if they didn't use that plot...

Well, all indications from videos and pics show the sawblades so you may not get your wish.

Regardless, I am excited that this ride is coming to a park near me...I've been interested in coasters like these since I first saw them.
 
Bit strange for a park with a proppa 4D coaster to get one of these, and, capacity </3.

Ah well, it spites CP, and if they market it as a 'Jr. X' or something it could work...

Well seeing how Riddler was built around Freefall, one would have trouble intertwining another ride into that plot of land.

Yeah, I believe it will be more like behind Riddler's lift hill...at least if I'm seeing the video correctly...
