You’re right it’s been years since I’ve been to Six Flags America. It’s good to hear that the park has improved its operations. It can’t be that hard to train your employees well and just fire the ones who act like they don’t want to be there.

Just got back from SFA today and added 6 new coasters to my list. I realize you visited a few years ago so I think some things have changed since then. I had a great experience with this coaster. All I heard were bad things about the park employees, the park itself and operations. I can tell you that out of 5 parks I’ve visited this year the Superman crew was the best when it came to having fun and getting riders pumped up. Got there early and it is the only park where no matter what time throughout the day if there was no one in the que they would let us re ride and pick out seats. The crew was also chatting with us and giving us high fives before and after rides. As for the coaster I rode 4 times in front and 4 times in back. For some weird reason the first 4 rides in the front were on the blue train and my last 4 rides in the back were on the red train. So in the front it seemed the drop dragged over the first drop and the 2nd hill had a tiny bit of air but the 3rd hill had great ejector air. When I rode in the back I was thrown over the first drop for a little air, the 2nd hill had some good air and the 3rd hill still had crazy ejector air. I was really surprised at how much I liked the coaster. Personally I’d rate it just a little higher at about an 8. It definitely doesn’t come close to the greatness of an Apollo’s Chariot but there were certain parts (the airtime) of this ride that I liked better than the Intimidator 305. As a side not Batwing is one intense ride!

Back about 8 to 10 years ago, we use to get season passes here. I rode it in the first year it opened. It’s truely the best coaster at Six Flags. I love the first, second, and third hills. But besides this and the drop zone, there is not much else to this park, unless you like the water park. That feels good on a hot day. But after visiting Busch Garden’s Water Country USA, that is the bestest water park in the Mid Atlantic by far! Wooohoooo (I agree with the alge-water…LOL….coaster critic, it should be called cripto, LOL)

I used to think this ride was lame compared to other coasters of its stature that I have ridden. But I recently revisited Six flags america, and rode in the front and the back, of both the blue and red trains of the ride. The ride was great in the front of the blue train, got some ejector airtime in places, the ride was rather rough in the back, with the feeling of barely making it over the 2nd and third hills. But in the red train.. for some reason the ride seemed completely lame. It felt much, much slower and tamer throughout…
