Six Flags St. Louis has that Batman ride as well. What I always liked about it was that it was comfortable to ride. I had a friend riding with me once at the park and she wasn't that comfortable about coasters. But the Batman is about the smoothest ride ever on a coaster. It's pretty good for people who've never been on coasters or don't much like them, once they watch for a bit and get over the fact that it goes upside down.

The floorless aspect, I actually do enjoy. On the lift on the way up, it's fun to look down and see the park beneath you. And yes, when you are in the front, there's nothing out in front of you and it's an interesting view.
