Houstonian in Iraq Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 If I remember correctly, I heard that the Ultratwister was being shipped back to Europe.I think I might of seen a comercial with what looked like the Ultra twister here. Not sure where that park was either here in the UK or somewhere else in Europe. I'm sure I saw the Batman ride here too. When I got out of highschool I worked at Astroworld and Batmane the Escape was my first ride I worked at. It was originally known as the shockwave. When I saw the comercial it said it was "the shockwave......standing rollercoaster.....new this year at_______" so I'm pretty sure this is the Batman ride from Astroworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very comprehensive. I am bummed that the cyclone was scrapped. It would have been cool to keep it up and let a new developer integrate it into their plan. I am sure the up-keep would be too much, but I would pay $5 a ride and I would also ride it 5 times in a row. Oh well, live goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
