How can you ride those things without coming off sore?

One trick is to keep your back off the seat. That's what most people were doing on the Eagle marathon. Also sit in a seat that's not directly over the wheels. On the Eagle that would be the first seat in each car. Most coasters have a few rough spots, but Screamin' Eagle is running very smooth this year in my opinion.

Batman isn' t rough, It's just forceful and really packs a punch. There' s nothing you can do about that excpet not ride.

Boss is a painful ride any way you go about it. Prepare for a rough ride and hang on at the bottom of the first two drops.

It can be anything from where a guest puked in the train, to a lapbar that won't lock or has trouble coming up.... Come to think of it, on one of the trains, the front right seat had trouble coming up sometimes. Would take us a couple of tries to get it open for a guest. Probably was that. All that requires is a mechanic to replace a shock in the restrait assembly.

Somebody lost a shoe while I was on Batman athou most people took theirs off and put them by the side of the platform before the train started.

Was eagle retracked lately? I got a postcard that shows a train with the words Six Flags on the front and the track looks worn down.

The front half was retracked in 2002, then the latter half was retracked in 2004 (the last hills most noticeably) and the first half of the ride was repainted this season.
