It's to bad PKI didn't have Arrow produce a modern version of the same BAT coaster instead of the TOP GUN want-a-be that was built. It was a great suspended coaster. All kinds of great photos of the BAT can be found at http://www.americalovescrap.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=2305
