I'm curious to see how rotation has evolved from early testing videos I saw...because at that point it looked like a terrible experience .

I think it looked for fun at the bigging. Now it just looks kinda bland for most of the ride.
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

Doesn't look all that thrilling, sadly. Looks smooth though, much smoother than GL.

But GL is an intense beast compared to the looks of this.

Hope I'm wrong.

I absolutely disagree with this. This looks absolutely unpredictable. Watching the video, you could flip at any point on this ride, so you could have a different experience each time.

I was hesitant of this ride at first, but seeing the POV, it looks pretty good!
Oh, were you expecting something here?

Well, I'll try it out this summer. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a one time only thing for me, but I could be surprised.

I really think S&S should expand this concept and build more rides similar to X2 and the two 4D's in China.

Agreed. This feels like the prototype to something bigger. Much bigger.

We might see a 4D out-and-back coaster coming. That will be much longer than X2. :D

Agreed. Looks like a much better ride in person than in the animation!

Definitely. Seeing as X put Arrow into bankruptcy I can imagine S&S are looking to not repeat similar mistakes and make sure they get this thing right. I am rather exiting by the prospect of that huge track in a more twisted layout!

Well Arrow's 4D track was huge and the trains were extremely bulky. These don't need the large tracks as rotation is based on gravity, not on track movement and the trains are much smaller.

I was kinda harsh with my initial thoughts on Batman. But after watching all the coverage of media day, I've since somewhat changed my opinion.

The ride looks fun. And I love that you're not at any point, slammed against the restraints, a common complaint about GL.

I never found Intamin Zac Spins to be that interesting anyway, but I heard that Insane @ Grona Lund is a lot of fun because they let you unbalance it.

This just looks like a much more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
