Title: Batman to Run Backwards!
Post by: jglonek on March 24, 2015, 08:20:32 AM
According to SFGA's Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/sixflagsgreatadventure) it looks like Georgia isn't the only park to be getting into the Batman Backwards fun! Our BATMAN: The Ride will be running backwards from July 4th to September 7th!

Excellent news. Already much more exciting than the new "coaster". I do wonder how much downtime there will be in the middle of summer to turn the trains around, though?

I was under the impression that this is a traveling train?

Oh. You are probably right. The experience ends at SFOG on May 10th (https://www.sixflags.com/overgeorgia/special-events/celebration/batman%E2%84%A2-ride-backwards), so it will probably head on up.

Batman will be closed for CoasterCon which is happening from June 21st to the 26th. So it'll be about 2 weeks.

LOL never thought of that!  I can hardly ride this thing forwards anymore so I'm not sure how I feel about backwards.  Getting old sucks sometimes.

They won't be able to run RTB while Nitro is on the lift hill.
I'll definitely be skipping this one.
