What riders love
  • Intense! Greyed out on each ride.
  • But the forces are great you always gray out on this.
  • the positives on this are amazing!
  • The inversions are snappy and the ride is overall just plain insane.
  • And the corkscrews are the whippiest ive ever been on.
  • I think the zero-g roll was my favorite element and I always appreciate how these B&Ms have high capacity so you don't have to wait that long.
  • There is so much action packed in these awesome machines. Fast, smooth, intense, and relentless fun!

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Element after element hits you without any dead spots, with a lot of intensity - and yet it was comfortable.

Erik Scott

Pretty smooth, Intense as always, and a nice color scheme.

Jack Jack J.

This batman clone is one of the better ones and certainly one of the smoothest of them all.

coaster land

It’s got a really bad rattle and the restraints cause headbanging and as much as I love the layout god this ride hurts.

Anthony Ray

Its not quite as intense or snappy as the others and it does have a bit of a rattle but it still packs a decent punch.

Carter Eckhart

Nice first drop, and great intensity, but there is a few dead spots; small but noticeable.

Coasters and Christ

I like the intensity of the ride so that is a plus.

Lightning Productions

Very intense, but the elements and layout are not exactly unique.

Brendan B.

This one runs pretty well, very intense.

Nathan F

It has felt like Chupacabra has gotten more intense the last couple years, and I also now like it more than Great White.

@OklahomaCoasterFan

Even after scores of rides on various Batman clones, I am always amazed at the residual speed of the train entering the brake run.

thomas stanley

I wasn’t expecting much from this coaster, but it was quick and unrelenting.

Erik Scott

I typically greyout here since you have a forceful valley followed by a fast, tight loop.

Canobie Coaster

I think the zero-g roll was my favorite element and I always appreciate how these B&Ms have high capacity so you don’t have to wait that long.

Weak theming

Even after scores of rides on various Batman clones, I am always amazed at the residual speed of the train entering the brake run.

thomas stanley, Captain Coaster review

Though it admittedly loses a bit of it’s charm without the nice theming found at SFMM.

Kellen Grady, Captain Coaster review

Good amount of whip on outer seats during the final 2 inversions, other than having a 7 car train instead of an 8 car train.

CSX Railfan, Captain Coaster review

Its not quite as intense or snappy as the others and it does have a bit of a rattle but it still packs a decent punch.

Carter Eckhart, Captain Coaster review

probably one of my favorites at this park, very dueling dragons-ish , it suffers from the same ear boxing issue common to these restraint systems but otherwise awesome

Rene Saucier, Captain Coaster review

Now the reason I put layout is because this is the same batman clone over and over again.

Coasters and Christ, Captain Coaster review
