About Batman The Ride

Batman The Ride is located in Yankee Harbor. On an average day the line wait time is approximatly and hour to and hour and a half. Hey, it's a popular ride and well worth the wait! Batman is the world's first suspended, outside-looping coaster. With a top speed of 55mph and no floor it promises to get your heart pounding. This ride has just been coated yellow for the 2004 season.

The first and best of the inverted roller coaster. Pretty long compared to when it was made! - Anthony Murphy

Part of Batman: The Ride is the scenery. The Gotham city that has been created for the riders waiting in line is really really fun to look at. The ride itself gives me a headache. It is smooth and a short ride, but it has a ton of corkscrews and flips, it is a fun ride none the less. - Mike Crimson

Certainly historic, but my least favorite B and M inverted. - Mark Mahoney

My favorite (okay well Raging Bull is tough competition). I love the suspended ride with my feet flying out. Besides the ride I love the attention to detail in the approach waiting areas. The construction, the sound effects, hope it's still around for years to come! - Josh M

Since this was the first of the now-cloned-to-death Batman the Ride - I rate it higher here than anywhere else. - Todd Houts

This is my favorite ride in the park. I love how smooth it is and how there are not a ton of drops on the ride. The spins and loops are good enough for a thrill. - Davis Amy
