Ever wondered what an Intamin Drop Track looks like underneath?

What was the worst roller coaster you rode this year?
I’ll go first… this thing bankrupted me, humiliated me, and then left me wondering why I bothered. (I know why I bothered +1 hola).
In a video posted by viajesinreserva on TikTok you can see footage of Batman Gotham City Escape launching from what appears to be the first launch shot from within the station, and coming to a halt on the second launch.

Ready…
