New for 1998, Riddler's Revenge

Here are some of the old sights of the pre-Riddler area:
The old Freefall entrance sign.	The old Freefall entrance queue	Again, the old Freefall entrance queue	The new Freefall paint job, as seen from Batman the Ride

The new Freefall paint job, as seen from the Dive Devil launch towers	The old El Dorado station for Eagle's Flight	The old El Dorado Eagle's Flight station	Cantina (El, Baja), before it's demolition

Freefall again, as seen from Dive Devil	The new Tidal Wave paint job	Another shot of the new Tidal Wave paint job	The construction wall as seen from the midway near Waterfront

Construction of The Riddler's Revenge
A new B&M stand-up roller coaster. B&M are the responsible parties that brought Batman the Ride to the Six Flags group of parks, as well as numerous other incredible coasters around the country including Montu, Kumba, Alpengeist, Vortex, Chang, Mantis, and Raptor.
The construction area before the clear-cutting of trees began	One of the first track pieces to be painted. It's a lousy scan	Unpainted Riddler track in the parking lot	Unpainted Riddler track in the parking lot

Unpainted Riddler track in the parking lot	Rebar supports waiting to be put into the ground. Note the (old) color of Metro's track	Another shot of the future footers	A view of the maintenance area and storage track area of Riddler

The Riddler ride area from Dive Devil	The Riddler ride area as seen from Tidal Wave's exit	The lift rising by the Freefall run out	The bottom of the first dive loop

The lift behind Freefall	About 1/3 of the lift completed	The lower part of the lift, and the bottom of the vertical loop	Bottom of the vertical loop

The view from Tidal Wave with the vertical loop complete	The drop and first loop from the back of Batman the Ride	The completed vertical loop	The curved drop. Very different from its brothers Mantis and Chang

Exiting the vertical loop and entering the first dive loop	Work being done on the station, as seen from Dive Devil	3 guesses as to what this is, and the first two don't count...	Wrapped in plastic to preserve freshness...

The color is right on...	an overly artsy kinda collage	I wonder if...	...nah, probably not.

The future station	A road to nowhere	A view from the Dive Devil launch towers	Here's your entrance—you can almost hear "Ecuador" playing

A standard in any "Movie Backlot," the gas station	the baddest looking piece of track on a stand-up ride—the horizontal turn	The Dive Loop meets The Oblique Loop...	dive loop #1

dive loop #2	the oblique loop	into the oblique loop	out of the oblique loop, and towards the block brake

you ARE the train	"uhh—it's like twisted, or something..."
