  • This is one of only two Flying Dutchman's currently operating around the world, the other being down at Carowinds with Nighthawk. Batwing used to have an exact clone located at Kings Island, but it was removed a couple years ago, making this a one of a kind layout!

    I LOVE this coaster. Its really great and the looping is by far the best element. It comes close to a Prezel Looping. Its very intense. I rode this 30 times in a row! Its really nice! I dont understand why there are only 2 of these coasters in the world.

    I still think the funny part about this coaster is that it’s secluded from everything else, and the supports/footers were clearly not made for this plot of land. Definitely shows how much Six Flags cared when they could just “make things work” for their parks.

    this to me was way more intense than night hawk was for me. then again just about every coaster i did on my visit was a game of who can 1 up the pain levels. the only not so bad ones were firebird in the front row, and wild one anything before the double down, also screw that helix. my insides felt juggled after i got off. i will say mind eraser was surprisingly smooth outside 1 rough patch near the end.

      You need to understand the risk of adding new coasters. Six flags doesnt just add coasters to the big parks for no reason, its because they know they'll get more people to come to the park. Same can't be said for this park.

      @@alecvip7562 I get that point. But they haven’t even tried since 2001. Ragin Cajun and Firebird does not count. The reason why a lot of locals stopped going is because they’re tired of Superman being the only great ride. They can’t expect people to ride the same rides for 20 years and keep renewing their pass when there’s 3 other parks nearby that’s constantly adding new stuff

    Just went a couple weeks ago. Park’s gotten better since I was a kid going there, but it’s still got a terrible layout and it’s clearly been neglected by the chain as far as investment. At least now it’s clean and no longer crumbling. It needs landscaping, it needs development, and it needs a new coaster. Firebird is okayish, the SLC runs okay, ROAR just hurts, and this ride gives you headaches from the blood going to your head but Wild One, Superman, and Jokers Jinx are all really good rides complimented by some solid flat rides and a great waterpark so it’s still a good time.

    For the coaster credits argument, I think a ride should be 2 different credits if the renovation changes the type of ride, for example the standup-> floor less conversions. So that means that something like ninja->blue hawk wouldn’t count as two credits because the type of coaster isn’t changing. So by the terms of my argument, lightning rod would count as 2 credits. I also think a ride should count as a coaster if 1- it moves independently with a train on coaster track
    2- it has a rollercoaster section (for example journey to Atlantis)
