I loved the intensity this coaster brought, and gave a pretty strong gray out on one of the low helixes but in retrospect the track does have a lot of meandering and the inversions aren’t spaced apart well. Still, a very good ride and it’s gotten better since with the upgrades to theming.

I don’t have a date for the first time I rode this but it was somewhere around 2015.
Anyway, this ride is freakin awesome. There’s a reason it’s been cloned so many times, though some of which (like Goliath, which I have also ridden) switch the direction. This thing is super whippy and an intensity machine. You‘re catching your breath at the end. I have a hard time picking the best element because all of them rock and they all give you great positive G’s. The ride rattles a little, but I don’t mind since I think it adds to the intensity and the out of control feeling. Despite being cloned a bunch, Batman is one of the rides I have to do every time because of how intense and fun it is, and the original has the bonus of being built for its terrain.

I only got on this once back in 2017 and I enjoyed this I found laying down a little odd like I did on Nighthawk at Carowinds but this was smoother.

Much like Goliath, it took me until its third season to ride this. Once I did for the first time, I was blown away by the launch. The ride landed at #19 on my first-ever top 20 and official ranking list. I used to be harsh on it for the short length, after a rather positive first impression, and at one point ranking it behind Vertical Velocity and 9th at the park. Since then, I’ve came to look past that and just enjoy it, although I still am a little miffed that they rejected the originally-longer layout that S&S sent over. And sometimes I think back to my memories at the Pictorium. Still, this ride rocks. It’s super smooth and that launch is a gut punch. It probably took until my fourth time riding it for me not to have my heartbeat go significantly up as we approached it. The launch is still a powerhouse even after riding it near a dozen times. Any row. The front gives you the unobstructed view and wind in your face, while the back has this awesome feeling of just being pulled along that might be even crazier. The rest of the ride doesn’t quite live up to that launch but it’s still good fun all the way through. Contrary to its name and S&S’ goal of making the craziest possible ride in the smallest amount of space, it isn’t really that forceful. To talk about the cons of the layout, the dog tongue is slow, heartline roll doesn’t really feel like the world’s fastest inversion due to its large size, and the Maxx dive loop doesn’t really have any flaws but you do hit the brakes halfway down. Each of these elements, as you are traveling through, still however contribute to a fun experience. I still think this is third best in the park’s lineup, at least for now. It has a really good fun factor that makes it worth riding. I’d love to marathon it, but that line never moves and the capacity is bad along with it being at the front of the park. So I normally get my rides in early and have yet to double-ride it on a visit.
Every time I come off it, I feel like I liked it even more than before; it’s got my position of third in the park locked up for the foreseeable future unless Rakshasa tops it out. Maxx Force is great, even though I nagged on it a little in this review I do want to emphasize that I think it’s awesome.
