I agree not to mention, V2 is already painted yellow. Two Yellow rides next to each other just doesn't look right.

^ i agree, although I guess it does match the yellow harnesses, so it doesnt look insanely out of place, but it should still be black...

It's not the yellow track, it's the purple supports (SFGAV has black ones with the yellow track) and the wheel covers no longer match

the purple supports do match the purple on the trains though, although both the track and supports SHOULD be black... :x

It should have stayed Black, 3 yellow rides close to one another looks not right. I agree with what everyone is saying, it never should have changed color.

Great Adventures supports are actually an extremely dark purple. I didnt notice in pics much, but when I was there I noticed.

Shoulda painted it like SFNO's

I'm going to go out on a limb and say yellow.

Just kidding. I like the way it was.

As far as I'm concerned, the yellow didn't detract from the insane, intense experience Batman: The Ride is in any way. Therefore, I do not care at all which color Batman is.

After all, don't you ride the rides for the thrill, not because they look pretty?

^ Yeah I do but it just bothers me because Batman, V2 and RC are all yellow and so close together, that's all.

If they HAD to have repainted it, instead of yellow and black I would have done what SFNO's has:

I also really like the SFNO Batman color scheme, but I prefered it black. Batman wears black, not yellow, and black, for some reason, created more of a creepy atmosphere, like the theme of the ride. Plus, yellow is a super bright color, and 2 yellow rides within your view at the same time (Batman and V2) is too much yellow. It just doesn't look very color -coordinated.

I'd have to say black but only if it's the way it was originally. (Black with Black Supports and Freshly Painted Gray Rails)

Its not black and yellow right now.

And to who said something about freshly painted gray rails....

B&M used to not paint the rails on their coasters ala Raging Bull.

So the original was just black with unpainted rails.

^I agree, I like the yellow WAY better because i thought the all black made the ride look trashy. Also, i'm colorblind so that purple looks very close to black to me and V2 looks more like orange than yellow to me so I really would go with the new paint scheme.

Black, it looked so badass like you were going to get your ass kicked by riding it. Now it's like urine yellow, paint it back to black or a darker yellow or something.
