This coaster reminds me why I love stand-up's
so much! This ride looks so complex from the ground, but once
you ride it, you really see how complex it is! The first is
great, because it travels in the middle of a loop up a large
hill, then the first drop is basic, and from there, you twirl
through inversion after inversion. The ride covers most basic
typers of inversions, including a normal loop, crooked loop,
and corkscrews. It hits a couple small hills, but is most remembered
for its inversions. You end smoothly behind a riddler's hide-out
building and then enter back where you began. The themeing is
also top-notch for a Six Flags park, with lots of riddler decals.
In the line, you wait in the dark with special lights and effects.
I suggest that all thrill seekers who are looking for something
different to ride this unique coaster.
