BUT!!!!!!!
With new special effects, and on board sound system it's now an entirely different ride experience, so isn't it a different coaster? And therefore a new tick?

I personally wouldn't count it, mainly cos coaster counter wouldn't recognise it twice, just playing devils advocate.

Having had the opportunity to ride Bizarro a couple of weeks ago - It's now replaced Millennium Force as my favourite steelie.

Loads or airtime and relentless all the way around.

Definitely worth checking out!


Very Happy

So far this trip it's my favorite steel coaster, although those lucky enough to ride Superman The Ride say it rode better before all the enhancements (and extra paint!).

I felt the mist and water effects during the ride were overdone and could be tamed down. Are they really needed at all - maybe not.
