Yes, it is scheduled to be repainted, in its current colors.

I don't get the obsession with blue Batman. Batman isn't blue. It's stupid, and I'm glad our Batman didn't get painted back when SFMM's and SFOG's got the blue treatment.

Batman is themed to the 1990's Batman movies, specifically Batman Returns, so lets see . . .

Image
Batman. No blue

Image
Batmobile. Nope, no blue here

Image
Batman logo. I see black, I see yellow, but I still just can't seem to find any blue.

Park mentioned at NCC that they have to paint it whatever colors Warner Brothers says as part of the licensing agreement.

SFStL was repainted last year and retained an all black color scheme, I'm hoping more for that.

originally Batmans rails were unpainted and unprimered in order to allow them to rust, always liked the look, fit in with the theme. Of course no prep was done when they painted the ride and paint was flaking off the rails in unreal amounts, for a few weeks it wasn't unsual to come off the ride covered in paint chips if you were in the back half of the train, and there were flakes of paint all over Yankee Harbor.

1 how are you posting shots like the Batman stuff, and the dining pass? 2 I think we should start a park food thread this way people that have the dining pass can show just what you are getting for your money, some sound like a lot, while others seem like they would be a snack.

I got quick question to ask about the buy 4+ regular season passes and get a free season parking pass. Where do I have to buy the passes? Online, at the park or at Jewel?

Probably at The Park or online are your best bets if you want to do it without all kinds of hassle and confusion. You might be able buy at Jewel and let them know at pass processing you have 4+ and they might give you the free pass. When in doubt make a phone call. Six Flags season pass line is 847 249 1800 they should be able to tell you better.

Why would Warner Bros. be fine with some painted Blue, Some Painted Yellow, Some Painted Grey, and Some Painted Black but not the others to change to colors to Blue, Yellow, Grey, or Black?

FYI: Anyone who already purchased the 2015 Dinning Pass before they were offering the Deluxe Dinning Pass are being automatically upgraded to the Deluxe Season Dinning at no additional charge.

Already did. Got my 4 passes with 4 Dining passes. Saved a lot of money and still spent $188 per person.
