The entrance and the two spikes

The trains were accelerated out of the station with 47 linear motors (LIM) each from Force Engineering , then the first inversions followed : Batman ran an inside-top hat and Robin a cobra-roll . Followed by a hill, the trains climbed the two towers with the help of seven additional LIM motors. Then the trains reversed the route again.

Trains

Batman and Robin: The Chiller had two trains with five cars each. Four people (two rows of two people) could sit in each car. The passengers had to be at least 1.37 m tall to be allowed to ride. The trains were originally equipped with shoulder bars. In 2001, Robin's shoulder brackets were replaced by pelvic brackets, followed by Batman's bracket system in 2002.

Between the 2006-2007 season, the zero-g-rolls of the two tracks were replaced by small hills.
