I personally like the new color scheme that it is currently being painted... it is a nice counterbalance to all the grey's and black's of Gotham City. What do you guys think of the new color?

Looks cool. But it really shows how faded Riddlers is.

Wonder why they haven't started tearing out Tidal Wave yet.

Looks pretty good actually.

Would be cool if they did a black track and goldish/yellow support beams.

I really like that the park is repainting lots of their coasters that need a paint job. Here's to hoping Riddler is on the "Need to Be Repainted" list.

Would any Photoshop wizards be willing to try this color scheme? I'm curious to see how it would turn out!

You don't even need photoshop.

Here is Batman at Six Flags Great Adventure ... well, it has yellow track and black supports:


With the blue color scheme, I wonder if they are going to do a "Dark Knight" theme to it now.

Haha, Duh! Thanks for posting that photo.

Honestly though, I'm not a huge fan of the yellow/black color scheme.

I've seen that scheme at SFOT, SFOG and SFGadv and I think the best looking was SFOG (but I couldn't find a picture in my album from that park).

It looks nice... Not sure what the color blue has to do with Batman, though.

As shown by the photos that Peoplemover Matt provided, blue has everything to do with Batman.

I'd even venture to say that in Batman's entire history of existence, more often than not, his costume has some blue on it. It's only recently with films like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight that we get the mostly black costume. However, in the Brave and the Bold animated series that's currently running on Cartoon Network, Bats' colors are blue and grey.

Anyhow, I like the new paint.

Goliath is getting painted as well...I wonder what it will look like as I don't like the orange tracks on it.

I believe the orange colored tracks have not changed color - just repainted. And the supports have changed from teal to light blue.

According to SFMM's twitter, Goliath has closed "Unplanningly". It is currently closed according to SFMM.

Tidal Wave is getting torn out? When did this happen?

I love the new color scheme on Batman. Hopefully I can check out Six Flags early next year during the offseason.

Re: Batman's.... Blue?

im thinking the new color scheme is there to help promote BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD...

Um, well, Goliath was orange from its very first day. The new paint is exactly the same colors Goliath was originally painted.

You can also check out the new blue Batman on Batman's "Greatest Coasters on Earth" mural. Everything went blue on that, even the riders! :lol:

Re: Batman's.... Blue?

I will be at the park tomorrow to get some photos of Batman.

Oh, and how crowded do you think it will be tomorrow?

Re: Batman's.... Blue?

I have to say that Batman looks really good in person and the blue color is, IMO, fantastic. Here are a few photos. Unfortunately due to the queue being closed, I was unable to get shots from really anywhere other than the courtyard in front.

Six Flags Over Georgia used the Grey/Black color scheme, not the Yellow/Blue. It seems that we too are getting the blue color. If I had reason to schlep out to Austell I would see what the coaster currently looks like.

Your right, I meant SFOT.

So DisneyPro, how busy was the park yesterday? We were going to go today but the kids decided they didn't want to go. No biggie.

Eh - it was average. I don't go to Six Flags as much as Disneyland , so I don't exactly know what 'busy' is. Whenever we do go we dont go on breaks or holidays and go on weekends during the year when it's not busy. Anyway, Tatsu was about 45 minutes, Terminator was about 45 minutes the first time/25 the second time. Scream was about 25, Ninja was 10, Goldrusher 10, Colossus about 15, and Deja Vu was 35-40. We didn't bother going to X2 - none of us really wanted to ride it anyway. Walkways weren't too busy either. The Terminator plaza area and Scream's courtyard seemed to have the largest amount of people.

So I don't know if that is Magic Mountain's definition of 'busy' or 'average'. But I hoped that helped.
