Best Batman ever because of the terrain that it sits on and the originalityness. Great ride in the front and the back.

Still one of the most intense rides in the country. Great interaction with the surroundings.

The best BTR I have been on. I liked the theming on the ride. And I liked how the end of the ride is over the little lake. The ride doesnt seem as forcefull as the newer BTRs but its still better then them.

Best BTR I've been on. The ride insn't that great compared to the others, but the scenery kicks this one up. Trees, water, everything everywhere. Never not intense.

Definitely one intense inverted coaster! It has amazing scenery, especially with the rather new paint and clean up jobs, however it is a little too intense in back row. Very easy to black out on this one!

This is a great one, for sure! I just got back from a road trip that included SFGAm, and I marathoned this ride: 12 times in one hour! There was no lines, and after my 6th ride(in the very back right) the ride op just let me stay in my seat! So I got 7 more rides in a row without having to get out of my seat >^_^<. On the 6th or 7th run I was starting to feel those Gs on the loops, but then I got over it and didn't have any more problems. This ride has great theming and scenery, as well as a great layout, and best of all: It is historic! B&Ms second coaster, and the worlds first inverted coaster.

Such a classic... The terrain is so cool, and it was the first Inverted Roller coaster. My first "big" coaster too!
