^Yes! People on here are going to tell you that it's rough, but I've never experienced headbanging or even the B&M rattle on it. My left leg always goes numb right after the inclined loop, it's a really forceful ride! Definitely get on it, it's a lot of fun and a really well-laid-out ride.

If you've never been on a stand up, Green Lanterns a lot of fun. The back rows can be extremely rough, but the middle is OK. The fronts offers a very cool view. Try to ride right after opening or in the late afternoon to avoid the long lines.

Edit: Depending on your height you may have a lot of head banging. The inclined loops the worst spot.

[golfburner1The best thing about TPR is the donkeys.]

I've been on Mantis at Cedar Point. It wasn't rough but it was very slow! I didn't get any head banging but got a lot of spots on that ride where I fell onto the shoulder harness because it was so slow! I know green lantern does not have the brake on the drop of the ride. Hopefully that makes it go a lot faster!

The way some people exaggerate how rough a coaster is, they would probably be able to make a 747 sound like a hot air balloon. B&M rattle is especially rich. For years I thought that meant what happens if your diet consists of nickels dimes and quarters.

^Oh, the B&M rattle exists. Ride Dominator at Kings Dominion in the back row and try to say it doesn't! But yeah, enthusiasts are quite the hyperbole-creators.

I was fine with it as Batman: Knight Flight and Dominator while it was in Ohio. I think it's the best sitdown looper B&M has after Kumba (and presumably Dragon Khan, though I haven't ridden). Whatever this mysterious rattle is, it's doing a good job of not being there during my rides. I've seen it mentioned for some of their non-inverting lapbar only hypercoasters. I hope those people live in a bubble.

[megametalWhich came first the turtle or the donkey?]

I've never noticed Dominator rattle, and I ride it frequently. Green Lantern was forceful, but not rough to me... The only rough, rattly B&M I've been on is Vortex at Carowinds.

[alilstrongerI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

I am going to go out on a limb here and state I did not like The Green Lantern at all. It was not fun to me. Glad I did not wait more than 30 minutes for it.

Pshhh I'll probably feel the same way when I ride it.

I don't want to take this too far off-topic, just want to reply! Dominator's is most noticeable in the corkscrews, though it was running much better last season. I do, however, agree with you - I think that's it's one of their best and easily their most unique looper designs, and I love it! Diamondback, on the other hand, actually was ruined for me by the rattle...maybe it's particular trains that are worse than others or something, but some of these B&Ms new and old are picking it up! It's not a roughness thing, just a vibration. Intamins do it too pretty often - Fahrenheit is a big offender.

On-topic...Green Lantern has no rattle!
