Batman: The Ride

[Spencer]

This new/ old topic was not started on a whim. I have had approval from a very nice Moderator. So lets begin. Batman Adventure: The Ride was opened to the public in 1992, or 1993. Please correct my if I am wrong. The Ride had a successful run in its original format until about 2001, then it was revamped into the #2 I have some video's on my youtube page which are originally german, but have been translated with english subtitles. That way, new comers can understand the storyline. If anyone has any ideas or stories, post em' up! I plan to add more to this post. Thanks, and If anyone has negative things to say about this ride or topic in particular. Please do not post, we don't need arguments. -Spencer The title for the Marquee read: The Bat, The Cat, The Penguin. The Ride Which was I believe under a large Batman Returns style Bat logo.

i hate the ride

I'd love to see video from the original ride. I went on it as a kid when it first opened and can't really remember it all that well and although I still enjoy it today, I was a little bummed when I discovered that it had changed when I went for the first time since last year.

My favorite part was when it got replaced because everyone had seen it and no was interested anymore, doc

[Intamin]

I agree with Klassen. The ride sucks.

I hope that they build a new ride there.

Me too, but another sim or something like that... (Probably not enough space for something like 'the amazing adventures of spiderman' is there???)

Well, if you completely demolish the show building, you could expand out and across the creek if need be. You'd be surprised just how much real estate BATR2 sits on. Edit - on second thoughts - Computer says no.

Thanks for the video Spencer but I've already posted it above.

[Spencer]

No you haven't. I have had BOTH ride films translated, the Pre Show AND the Ride Film.

^ Sorry, I missed that. I tried embedding it but it didn't work so here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89zFt23AARU. If you don't speak German it must have taken you forever to translate it. Good job none the less.

Does anyone have any pics of the batman ride they could please post? Specifically of the ride vehicles that you...ride in. It is referred as a "tracking module" in some of the audio effects.

I always loved the pre ride thing.. you guys are all probably sick of it but i loved it as a kid and still do... robotic batman could be redone i think.. and maybe some new stuff brought in.. or alternate routes like titanic "ride" lol at fox studios sydney to help with queue times etc i really hate the new story thing.. even at sega world sydney they used to change their motion rollercoaster thing every few months or whatever it kept it fresh and sometimes i think they brought back the fav storys.. the layout was even better 2 to a machine thing of 2 chairs that moved like the batman thing with a huge screen in front of you and didnt feel so squishy and claustraphobic lol
