Existential Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I think they may have the loop-de-loop done today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's a Batwing, not a pretzel. We're still on that? Apparently. Pretzels are VERY different experiences. When even the park's PR person comes on here and says the park and B&M say it's a Batwing, I think I'd listen. That's just me. I'm funny that way. Words matter. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When even the park's PR person comes on here and says the park and B&M say it's a Batwing, I think I'd listen. That's just me. I'm funny that way. Words matter. I agree, words matter. Though, pretzel KNOTS have very similar experiences to batwings. I don't know why anyone ever said pretzel loop. And yeah, it's a batwing, officially. A unique one, but officially a batwing.. that uniqueness is what causes argument. http://rcdb.com/1292.htm -- Just because it's official, doesn't mean it's always the best answer (Meaning IMO for this case). Though, it's usually the best answer. I've never said pretzel loop. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterama Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Looks like they have track and supports ready to be lifted into place and finish the batwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm just going to call it a Batzel to any JQ Public I here talking about it. Just to throw people off. You know, start some rumors and stuff, I'm fun like that. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterama Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 "Loopy Thing". I like it. It's not a batwing, it's a loopy thing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel_SoB_fan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 While your in line for Banshee, Ill be Riding Diamondback..... Then going to Banshee I did something like that with Diamondback. After I got my Diamondback ride in on opening day I rode Son of Beast 3 straight times since that Action Zone was dead still at that point. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
