I have never ridden any of Vampires twins (Batman the Ride), but I have ridden many other inverted coasters. It is a totally different experience than the more open, park-crossing coasters like Raptor, Talon, and Great Bear. Vampire is very compact, all the track intertwined in a very small space. This creates a different thrill since, even sitting in the very front, it is virtually impossible to anticipate Vampires next maneuver -- the surprise factor adds to the thrill immensely. Raptor, Talon and Great Bear are like soaring with eagles. Vampire is like a angry bee trapped in a jar.
