After being lifted straight up a 120-foot hill, this 4D Wing Coaster challenges riders to “face their fears” as they flip head-over-heels from four to eight times along the weightless, tumbling journey. Along the way on this 4thdimension free-fly coaster, thrill seekers experience exhilarating coaster hills and unexpected drops along with an interactive ride experience, making it a different sensation each time guests ride.
“We are thrilled to deliver a ride experience not to be found anywhere else on earth. Not only does Batman: The Ride utilize the latest innovative technology, it is highly interactive and will deliver something new for every rider. It’s a great complement to our existing ride offerings and should be quite a hit with thrill seekers and season passholders alike. The ultra-smooth, unanticipated tumbling will add a new element as riders travel along the dipping and swirling track,” said park president Neal Thurman in a press release.
Batman: The Ride features a massive, imposing, floating and twisting track frame, in which ride vehicles begin their journey by traveling up a 120-foot elevator-type lift before being released for their highly unusual sensory journey—including two beyond-vertical free falls, in addition to four to eight head-over-heels flips. The ride is currently exclusive to Six Flags Fiesta Texas and features a Batman storyline with numerous special effects, including Batmobile and Bat-Signal.
Batman: The Ride features:
- The world’s first, one-of-a-kind onboard magnetic technology featuring four to eight smooth head-over-heels free-fly flips providing guests the feeling of weightlessness as they soar outside the confines of a traditional track;
- A 4D wing coaster that seats up to eight and has riders “face their fears” by allowing them to physically face each other as they tumble head-over-heels;
- A 120-foot tall hill that is ascended by an elevator-style lift straight up;
- Two beyond 90-degree raven drops giving the sensation of free-falling;
- Five vehicles with eight passengers each;
- A Bruce Wayne/Batman theme throughout the queue line featuring the Batmobile and Bat-Signal.
