Batman: The Ride is a super cool roller coaster that spins you around! It's called a "4D Free Spin" coaster because your seat can flip forward and backward while the ride moves. There are two of these awesome rides in North America, both at Six Flags parks. They were designed by S&S - Sansei Technologies and Alan Schilke. As you might guess, the ride is all about the famous DC Comics superhero, Batman!
The Story Behind the Ride
Six Flags Fiesta Texas first announced Batman: The Ride on August 28, 2014. It was a big surprise after months of hints! This new coaster took the place of an older car ride that had been there since 1992. The track for the ride arrived in February 2015, and construction moved quickly. It was finished by the end of March and opened to riders on May 23, 2015.
A few years later, another Batman: The Ride was announced. This one was for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. It was revealed on August 30, 2018. This second ride opened its doors to thrill-seekers on May 25, 2019.
What's the Ride Like?
Get ready for an amazing adventure on Batman: The Ride! You start by climbing straight up a 120-foot tall hill. Once you reach the top, you'll zoom over hills while your seat flips you forward many times. Then, you'll drop into a steep dive, called a "raven drop."
Next, the ride changes direction, and you'll experience a backwards flip! You'll spin backwards into another raven drop. The ride finishes with a forward flip. This coaster uses special magnets to make your car spin freely. The park can even change how much you spin. This helps them make sure everyone has a great time!
