My mom went on this coaster and got a bloody nose, I don't remeber what exactly happened but it couldn't have been good.

SFOG proved that you should not go on "The Bat" and that you should go on Dragon Fire instead.

I enjoy the bat myself, except for the long lines (even on a rainy monday). Except that story about it getting stuck between the half-corkscrews this year scares me a bit.

The bat was pretty gud.......its extremly high and going throught the loops backwards had a really unusual feeling. Worth about a half hour wait. i little bit better than dragon fyre

I would LOVE to valley there. I'd like to see how those PCW staff react.

This ride is awesome. Going backwards was something different for a change.

A Vecoma Boomerang, Blah Blah Blah. It's as rough and painful as the other boomerangs.

Another painful and dizzying boomerang. Nothing Special.

When I go to PCW, I ride this coaster first thing when the rope drops, since it's hard to get the front later in the day thanks to the first-come-first-serve seating policy, and this coaster has a long, slow moving line.

This Boomerang is smooth in the front, but can be rough in the back. Ride it in the morning, since in the afternoon, it will have the longest line in the park.

This ride would be better if it got lap bars, since it's an old Vekoma headbanger.

Painful Coaster, not worth waiting for if the queue area has full switchbacks. Good airtime in the back row on the first drop though. 3/5
