Batwing at Six Flags America is one of the most underrated coasters I've done, causing Nighthawk's expectations to be high whilst knowing that it's probably inferior. It definitely is, but still great. The vertical loop is still amazing and, unlike Batwing, the location is stunning. That's what's great about it, however there are issues. Even on a Monday with rain forecasted, Nighthawk appeared to have a comically long wait time on the app. I rode it early on, so I was able to avoid the wait. The corkscrews are definitely worse than the in-line twists on Batwing. It is more unnatural. Batwing surprised me by how smooth it was, but Nighthawk was a lot rougher. Great prototype, just not perfect.
