About Batman The Ride

An inverted coaster that offers two vertical loops, two corkscrews and a zero G roll. Some think of it as the mini Medusa. -- Last edited by katie c

Just like the other batman clones from SFOG and SFstL, this is fun, but not amazing. Still, it's a B&M invert, which are always great! - Eli Katzman

this rides alright, its not the best ride ever, but its not the worst. i personally think its not the end of the world if you dont get to ride it before you go. - Carlo Mangiafreno

Eh... This one was ok... Not really worth waiting too long for- It was nothing special. The theming threw me off, too. Some parts of the ride look worn-down because they were supposed to. Others look worn-down because, well, they were. - K P

Batman packs a good little punch, great inversions and good speed. Alpengeist still remains number 1 tho. - Christy Shuman

Another solid one. For the first inverted coaster, it was pretty smooth and fast. Faster than Talon at Dorney, to be sure. The thing that REALLY got me here was the theming. From the Gotham City park at the entrance to the sewers the guests eventually travel through, it was all well-done. Seriously, what is it with the Batman rides at Great Adventure and great theming? - Mitch Rozetar

For one of the original inverted coasters, this one still packs a pretty good punch. The elements are tight and fast, and the speed doesn't let up for the whole ride. It's obviously not raptor or alpengeist, but this is still a darn good ride. - Matt Harris

Well ive been on this ride 15 times in a row and really its just not intense. If i went upside down 75 times on some coasters i would feel sick but no problems with this. Its not high and the drop is still 20 feet from the ground at the base. Its too small and six flags should knock this one down to build a bigger one. Inverts can be so much better than this clone. - jim boyadjis

Not As Good As Alpengeist At Busch Gardens But Still Up There. - James Kurek
