Ice in the front row is definitely my favorite. I love almost all the B&M Inverts I've been on though, they are all fantastic coasters. Alpengeist and Raptor are also up there on the good coaster list.

I've been on dueling dragons when I was younger, and I dont remember a lot, except for the queue, but I'm sure it was a great ride! I do think that batman is fast and a very great ride and is one of my favorites!

I agree. I've been on it 7 times and the 1st time awesome 2nd time ok now just short kinda rough at points and boring.
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)

I rode it for the first time in 3 years, and I don't think it's any better. I love the fact that it is a "landmark", but I just don't think it's a good ride. Definately my least favorite coaster at GAm.

Until Jester was built, the queue went behind Cajun Cliffhanger and Bayou Blowout. The introduction was next to what is now Mardi Gras Stage. The path is still back there, crumbling away.
The entrance by Jesters was used the two final Saturdays of Fright Fest when I was there. I didn't wait in it but I saw everyone walk by me as I was in line for East River Crawler.

There was spraypaint on the wooden walls to the left and right of that queue house along with random junk (old bike, toilet) etc. When Tim Black became GM in winter of 2004 the junk was cleared and the walls were painted solid because he thought it looked bad. I clearly remember the area where the toilet was by the exit path "WDW Rules" was painted on the wall (Walt Disney World) as well as DA BULLS, SOUTHSIDE, WHITE SOX, and CUBS written on the painted on the wall under the station.

In the days before Bull opened Batman was using that third entrance pretty much every weekend of the season.

Does anyone remember when the entrance was actually by the stage that is now in Mardi Gra's? You actually walked behind Cajin Cliffhanger down next to the pond. I remember when the ride first opened and sometimes the end of the line would be back by the front of Shockwave!
on a Sat in 92 I saw the Batman line stretching past the carousel and around to near Whizzer. Though I dont think they had that overflow queue behind Jacks Snacks that year, so it probably wasnt all that horrible but I never waited in it.
