kicks ass...

get on it..

I wouldn't say it's better than the superman because it's shorter... but it's probably the second best roller coaster the park has now.

Based on the Roller Coaster Database (RCDB.com), it is the same exact coaster as Sea World's Great White!

Sea World Great White (http://rcdb.com/id278.htm)

Six Flags Fiesta Texas Goliath (http://rcdb.com/id3976.htm)

Kind of sad that Six Flags would bring their own Great White to San Antonio 11 years after Sea World open their suspended coaster.

It was called Batman in New Orleans, and may be the same layout as the Batman in Six Flags Over Texas in Dallas.

It is the same coaster as the Batman in Dallas. Sea World's Great White opened first in 1997, Dallas is 1999, and now Goliath in 2008. The "real" Goliath is Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Tatsu looks cool. I've heard about those lie-flat coasters. While I've not ridden on it, my vote would be the "X2" at Magic Mounatin. The riders actually rotate depending on the track and direction the cars are moving. Hard to explain but defintely a unique coaster.

If it's like the Batman at Over Texas, I will def be going to Fiesta Texas.

I actually just spent Friday at Over Texas.
