Did it seem like Batman was running slow?

[EVOed8]

Yeah, I finally found a flaw with the new paint... it makes Batman run significantly slower! I know last year it was owning me... and this year I felt the hesitation. SFoG's Batman was FLYING this year, I could feel a huge difference. What do you guys think?

[Papas]

It always feels less forceful when it's cold out. It'll do fine.

[CoasterDave316]

I felt the difference on Saturday. Im not sure if it was the cold or the paint though, it was probably a combination of both, but it sure felt like one of the slowest and least forceful rides I ever had on Batman.

[Drkstarboard]

Or maybe you guys were just focusing on the new paint that you weren't paying attention. I don't know though I'm just guessing. Batman didn't seem any slower to me.

On May 7th, Batman was running very fast and intense.

[da rcman2001]

I thought it would run slower with the paint on it, but when I rode it on sunday may 2nd, I blacked out from the gs in the far back.

[w00dland]

If I keep my eyes open sometimes that happens to me too, I think it's a combination of the forces, and my eyes being forced to look at the sky during the 2nd loop.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

It felt the same to me. G's were strong as always, that's how I like it.

[sixflagsguy5]

I think it seemed the same. Ill tell u guys tonight if it was the same or not cause im going today.

I just got back from Great America and it seems intense, not slow too me.

[Mr. D.T.]

The new paint was by no stretch of the brain cells responsible for the 'reduced intensity' of the coaster. It could be the cold weather reducing the friction between the wheel and the track. The same thing happened to Turn of the Century (Demon).

[Papas]

It was running like crap this morning, still kinda chili lately though.
I have complete confidence in my B:TR.

[Coaster_Chick]

yeah...the G's seem more intense.

[coasterswimgurl12]

It didnt feel slow to me, but some other coasters did, Demon definatly felt slower to me yesterday...same with Whizzer.

[FParker185]

Chiming in a bit late here, but my one ride (plus 3 immediate rerides on the same train) they all seemed up to speed. It's possible one train was running a bit slower than the other.

Though SFOG BTR did spoil us a few weeks ago.

[Papas]

B:TR was running MUCH better today, not quite 100% but it's on pace.

[CoasterDave316]

I agree 100% with Papa's the difference between my Opening Day ride and today's ride was like night and day. It had the intensity back this weekend, that I didn't get last week.

[FParker185]

Damn, just noticed I forgot to add on, my rides were on opening day

[ShortChilli]

I went yesterday and it was going WAY faster than I remembered.
