New Batman paint.

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

They added the new paint onto Batman. I think the new paint makes the ride look real awful. I liked it when it was all black. Im not sure who else here saw the new paint on Batman.

You will get used it it Im sure. Nobody likes to see stuff change, but it's for the better. It will make the park look alot nicer. It's not going to be painted black again anytime soon so there is no use complaining about it.
Go Bulls!

Change is not good nor bad. It matter how you accept the change.

I like the new paint a lot. I didn't think I would when I first heard about Batman getting painted yellow, but now I like it. Lets see if V2 and Batman go well since V2 and Batman are yellow
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

They probably won't look too bad next to each other because V2 is a brighter yellow than Batman and the supports on V2 are a lighter blue color than those on Batman.

I actually don't mind it...when I heard about it I was kinda like "ewww, that'll be gross" but it's really not too bad...it's still gonna be the same awesome ride.

They probably did it to differentiate Demon from Batman in terms of color. After all, both were black as night. Just accept the fact that it's been painted and remember it's still one of the park's best rides ever.

The ride stands out some much better now. It really looks great. I know this was probally written before are the supports staying the same color or midnight blue?

Ours should look similar to this, I personally like it, I really don't care if they change the paint, its still Batman. A great B&M.

I think that they are painting them, but not sure which color. Could still be black but in my opinion they are going to be blue :lol:

I really ha8 2 say this after my breakdown :oops: but uh... If our B: Tr looks half as good as this one I'll be happy :|

Ya, I know my mind is never made up :| I know I acted like a real jerk back then like as if someone died their hair a worse color than it used to be.

To Everyone in the Forums I'm Sorry :cry: I won't cut my Season Pass in half. To top that off i'll use my cedar point trip to go to SFMM & SFOT I hear they are really good parks with great rollercoasters and rides. But does anyone who's been to either of those places know any tips while goin in there.
( I know i'm going off topic) So i'll stop now

Yeah on my way back home from O'Hare, I saw Batman all painted. It reeeally stands out. Can't say yet whether it's good or bad. I think we'll only know opening day. For the time being I don't like it, but maybe that'll change.

Well, we might know opening day, but I'm hoping one of these people on the forums who are going to the buyout on the 24th ::cough::chitown::cough:: will be nice enough to take a few pictures. :roll:
