Look at BTR in this picture. It doesnt look right. Although most of you probably know about this already.

Those were installed in 1994, the Brake run cover. The ride was made in 92.

Yup, I thought the brake run covers were always there. I was confused when I looked at the pic.

Ahh the rain drop, the perfect aerodynamic shape. It is actually formed by the air around it.

It also looks like the Sky Ride towers are still standing there as well.

It looks barren without the nice tall trees that batman flies through. Time and trees is a good thing. :P

I just now noticed that the last tunnel was missing from the ride. Quite interesting.

This picture also shows Yankee Harbor when it was Yankee Harbor. The Whirligig ride was sitting near the New England Cafe. I really miss the way it looked prior to the V2 age.

Yea and also for B:TR, wasn't the station modified? I think that was like the police station or something and now it's the batcave. I could be wrong. I was born in '92 :lol:

Is that the Cajun Cliffhanger just to the left of Batman?

I miss that ride so much. :(

The station was always the Public Works bldg. that housed the batcave.

Yeah the Cajun Cliffhanger was very cool....way better than any gravitron.
You just had to be a little smart about it. Any moron with even the slightest bit of common sense who rode that ride should have known not to point your toes down when the floor came up, but thanks to the request of one colossal dumb***(and also an equally dumb ride op), nobody will ever ride that beautiful and unique(and not to mention historical) ride again. :cry:

^Agreed. I don't normally like those gravitron style rides, but Cajun Cliffhanger was the exception. I always made it a mission to ride it while it was there.

Anyway, I think the Batman looks amazing with yellow paint and the roof over the brake run, however, after looking at that picture, I think that the ride looks horrible in black BECAUSE of the brake run covers. The black looks clean and cool with just the station, but the roofs over the brake run made the ride look junky. Just my opinion, though.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(
