He means the Batflyer. That one had a much longer line than the other two
which were more or less walkons. Since it's just a figure 8 track (Unlike,
say, Pteranodon flyer, which uses the same truck technology although the
cars are much different) I didn't think it was all that exciting.

In my view, this is a good little mini-steelie in its own right. As you say,
nice track layout. The theming at the beginning only adds to the experience.
