		<description>Rode Bizarro on press day. I am 66 years old and I rode the incredible maschine more than 20 times. It&#039;s still incredibly smooth, incredibly fast,and has the same insane airtime. For all purposes the ride is the same- a  breathtaking fun maschine which has deservedly topped the best list over the years. High, fast, reridable.</description>

		<description>I have been Ridding Superman since it&#039;s Debut and experienced it&#039;s highs and lows. I have even had the opportunity to take it&#039;s firs and last rides or a few seasons. So I know the coaster well. It&#039;s not my top coaster nor is it anywhere near the worst. 

The bizzaro Chang over makes the coaster worse. It&#039;s not better then it was before. the experience, in a nut shell saw some positive and negative changes. 

The audio is too laud in the station and on the brakes and inaudible during parts of the ride. While during the media day the audio was there to guide you through the story. some extra sounds were in there and unneeded but easily ignored. Since then the story has been slightly lost and a hodgepodge of random sounds were added that have nothing to do with the ride. which cheapens the experience and removed the need for the audio.

Decorations were added. the sign at the tunnel entrance could go either way. it&#039;s not better or worse. The cheap building mock-ups almost cardboard cut out style buildings on the straightaway look terrible but they do add to a section of the ride that was lacking.  The shields you shoot through are a great addition though the sound effect is annoying the LED lights are also lost during the day. Misters are can&#039;t operate as planed since they flood the exit area.

The Fire is the biggest waist of money they added. the effect is OK but no surprise since you&#039;re bombarded with its heat while in line and in the station if your waiting towards the back. The effect also is not guaranteed since slight increases in weather will trigger and emergency shut off.

The most positive chance it LED lights have replaced the tunnels Florescent lights. No longer are you subject to only one color but a random color as you fly through

The coaster itself is the same; same Hill, same Height, same drop, same layout. but the lift is slower to accommodate the sound track and the extra trains weight. So the forces re not as strong as they once were. The new train setup detracts form the experience the head rests obstruct your view and the sound system electronics replaced 2 seats lowering the coasters capacity. The new restraints while blissfully free of the ankle restraints added as a quick fix, are tighter and limit your ability to get air time. I found myself holding myself down since on the extreme air during the bunny hills were causing me pain. Which removed Bizzaro from my Multiple rides a day list.

Bizzaro has lost something for me compared to it&#039;s Superman Version.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m very confused by your post. What 10 ft? Bizzaro is using teh same track as Superman no modifications were made to the track itself. So there is no increase in height.

Also even a terrible Superman/Bizzaro is better then most of the coasters and rides in teh park so a 2 hour line on a busy day isn&#039;t saying much.</description>

		<description>You know, I don&#039;t think it was a total waste of money, but some of the affects are hard to see/feel/hear. The trains are a little less comfy, but still pretty comfy. I think the sound track is a little unnessasary though because you can&#039;t hear it during the ride. Altogether Bizarro = superman</description>

		<description>I have ridden it both before and after the change (I rode it as Bizarro 9 times so far), and I really don&#039;t get why people are complaining so much. The audio really gets me pumped up on the lift hill (I do agree that the audio should be toned down a little though). On Superman, the ride up the lift hill seemed too peaceful and quiet, but with the new audio on Bizarro, the climb felt very dramatic, and felt like the end of the world was approaching. The 2d buildings gave an awesome sense of speed, and the shields give a sense of fear.  More comfortable trains, fog shields, fire...all add up to a drastically improved ride experience (not to mention new safety features). Theming is more important to a ride than most may think. Seriously people, it&#039;s the same ride in terms of g-force and airtime, so enough of all of that nonsense that they &quot;ruined&quot; the ride. If you haven&#039;t ridden this yet I strongly reccomend you do. Don&#039;t worry about throwing up, I do get dizzy easily, but this is all smooth, pure g-force: I never felt like I was going to throw up. My personal favorite seat is the very front because it feels like you&#039;re flying, the view, and I love hanging over the top of the first drop; very dramatic. The back is best for all you airtime hounds, but can be pretty violent, and the middle...well, if you prefer a less intense ride experience(first timers). I can really see why this is much better than Millenium Force!!</description>

		<description>okay, heres my own review im a little rusty on writting reviews bt ill do my best.
 
 so, it starts out whith the qeueu line wich all rides do.  (whats the point of waiting in a 2 hour line to get off) the line has tvs and giant boards telling the story of bizzaro (not the dc story, the six flags story) you stand by the bizzaroized metropoils buildings (the roatating earth on the daily planet building is now square and gray) and the trees and plants which nearly fill the dc super heros area of the park. it was on a sunday during fright fest so i got on bizzaro 3 timeswhith the longest line being 20 minutes so i didnt have to wait to long to ride. after you get strapped in, the train leaves the station and you listen to the well planned out comments fitting in with the themeing of the ride. while i was looking down at the con. river i saw some jet skiers looking up at us. they waved and everyone who wasnt talking, freaking, or had found a sudden interest in their shoes waved back.
as we rounded the top of the lift hill a slight roar getting louder and louder as you go down that one SWEET drop. there is a HUGE board thing whith bizzaro on the front beacause of the roar, long first drop,and board it feels as if bizzaro is litteraly flying tords you. as you go in the tunnle, there are red strobe lights linning the corners. i liked how it fit in whith the ride and all but i just wished that they had left one of the tunnles alone.(whats the point of a well light in-the-dark tunnle) although the 10 foot taller drop didnt affect the drop too much, it did add to the airtime  on the first couple of hills and the intensity of the overbank curve. wile flying through the overbank you start to notice the well-placed scenery thruoghout the ride. you fly by and through in one case, a couple of buildings that look unearthly and weird. thy`re cheap but still add to the themeing. you rise and drop as you go over the airtime hills being pulled out of your seat and treated to some great g-forces on the way down. afer the 4th dive you take a slight turn through some s-shaped rings that light up and make an alien blaster-like noise while you go through them. it`s a neat effect. the turn elevates as you lift, twist, and siral down into the first helix. by now, the trains have slowed down enough for the sound effects to be herd, but your still to busy throwing your hands up and sreaming in delight at the flamethrowers as they explode right next to you, if you realy want to experience the flame effect ride to the right side of the train at night. by the time you start to notice the sound, your leaving the first helix and venturing to the second. the sound effects are made up of lines from different d.c. super-hero movies, some of them included are: &quot;where are you&quot;, &quot;game over pal&quot;, and &#039;lets put a smile on that face&quot;. you whirl through the second helix and dive into the second tunnle, as i said i wished they would of left one tunnle alone so that the in-the-dark tunnle was actualy, in-the-dark. you fly out, and journey over the bunny hops before you come to a finaly curve before smoothly slowing to a complete stop behind the station. whats funny is that right after you stop, the sterios go &quot;that just happened&quot; . the funnypart about it is that, beacause of the speed and overall intensity of the ride, that`s exactly what it feels like, &quot;that just happened&quot;. 
    this WAS an improvment by almost all mesures and i dont know what you guys are talking about, &quot;the sound being to loud&quot; it was fine. i`m not trying to offend anybody but seriously. i think that six flags will, after 2 or 3 years, change bizzaro to superman reaturns or something and then change it back in the same amount of time. this is the best ride around and it just got better.</description>

		<description>ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Bizzaro is way better than Superman:ROS the theaming is way beeter and the fire and seats were the best part. as for the speakers i cant say since they broke when i rode on it. but the buildings were great it looks as if your going to crash into them. the buildings were great it looked as if yopu were about to crash into them  and they added a banked s-bend before the bunny-hop they also added lights and fire which are awsome especialy if you are riding at night. i agree whith some people about the soud thing and that if it had been working it probably ruin the ride expierience. also in line, thres much more to keep you busy so the line goes by quicker. over all it was an improvent and is now my favorite roller coaster (Yes and that means it passes kingda ka too)</description>
