Gotham City Gauntlet Discussion and Status

Postby bizarro#1 » Thu Nov 04, 2010 12:33 pm

Instead of having several threads about Gotham City Gauntlet, this is just one simple place to discuss everything about the ride.

Its been announced... in a way. New for 2011 - Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum. Make sure you vote in the poll!

Go there. Download the supporting materials. Then scroll down to page 38, or you know, you could read everything and look at Riptide Bay concept art (AMAZING BTW.) So its been announced in a way since the investor meeting was today. I'd say they changed they're plans about a million times. Here's all the pictures that were with the plans in the town hall.

Hmmm... I've known the name for about two weeks now, and it's quite shorter.

You will get the chills when you hear this name.


that name doesnt give me chills?
A lot of speculation by those who said they knew for weeks :lol:

Was that a tunnel or was that just me seeing things?

So its name will be Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum, and not Gotham City Transit?

No one ever knew for sure if Gotham City Transit was the name or not, I always thought it wasn't. Its probably just theming on the station. Gauntlet makes more sense with villains, since as you know, the DC Area is over run by villains.

True. I think people would think its GCT because on the station it says that and people normally jump straight to conclusions... Do you think that at some point the DC area will be re-themed to a more fitting status - having to do with villains? Or maybe at some point add a new ride that is a hero to ward off all the evil villains

looking closer at the pics, there does seem to be maybe a decent little drop/dip. I know its "just a mouse" but if its has some speed to it, it could be a fun ride. I am with everyone else who feels disappointed that we didnt get a thrill ride, but at least we werent one of the parks who got nothing this year. Im hoping that this gets a decent line, so that the other coaster lines will be a little less.
Best of all we get a family coaster freebie this year, so we probably have money in the budget for 2012 to do something big (Thrill) for the park's anniversary :D
