Chuck reports Batmans red train is on the track

[SilverBullet]

So Batman is open!?

Or testing?!

Or just a train...

[WadeJ]

Sorry, just a train lol

But, I don't think they would have bothered lifting it if they weren't ready to test soon.  Although, LIMS would help for testing lol

Btw- It's 3 cars - and they are red (ie. Robins "old" train).  So expect the Robin side running Batmans train to go from 5 to 4 cars soon so that they both have 4.

Three Batman cars on the track, no testing or nothing just they were put on this morning. Expect pictures later on.

Wow, thats great news to hear

[overlord]

I gots the video.

[ChuckR]

Well as promised here are the pictures...














Little blurry, oops  



There you have it, 3/4 of Batman's RED train.

[WadeJ]

Nice pics Chuck..  This is awesome to see.  I'm curious if the ride will be any more intense with one less car on each side.  Or, I guess they could get away with even few LIMs with the lesser weight 

[coastermom]

hey this is great news at least we have a train back .Now if they get it up and running that is even better news. BTW I really don't like the fact that both sets of trains are red now . Does anyone else think it sets off the effect of batman and robin??

[WadeJ]

Don't quote me on this but from what I "heard", the Batman train will only remain red until we get the 2 cars from Premier.  Then they will do the entire train at once.

I agree though, it will look rather odd lol

[coastermom]

do you think we will ever see them run both trains at once ? I know years ago they did this  a few times but never since then .

[WadeJ]

They actually do it all the time when both sides are actually working at the same time lol

Just last season Batman and Robin were open together for a little over a month.  They will not launch them at the exact same time though.  Usually they wait for one train to start dropping back down the spike to send the other out which makes for a rather cool feeling when you see the other one go by.

Its kinda like RT how even though its in rather bad shape, its still a whole lotta fun when they race it.

[coastermom]

yes I have to agree with you on the RT thing. Now that we are riding it more  with our son I m begining to enjoy it more and see that it really needs some love and WD40.

I guess Batman is undecided if he wants to be Batman or Robin.....
