You can check them out here. http://www.geaugalaketoday.com/Dominator.htm Looking back I don't think any of us would have ever expected to see a Bolliger and Mabillard coaster at Geauga Lake, especially one the size that Batman/Dominator was.  Even though it didn't have the best inversion ever, the zero-G camelback, it was still a kick butt coaster and will always remain as one of my favorites. Thank you, Six Flags. The view of the park from the top of the lift in the front seat was amazing. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered.

Six Flags was expecting to use 3 trains all the time 2. The train was traversing the track too fast for a Zero G roll there. _________________ 2009 - Present Rock n Rollercoaster 2006 - 2009 Cedar Fair Ride Operations

I miss the Dominator this year, but I am glad I rode it in Virginia in its new home and to know it will be enjoyed for years to come makes me happy! I wish that Villian had the same happy outcome! _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster. It is full of ups and downs!
