bblfgrd Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I did a search in the forums and couldn't come up with anything so I thought it wouldn't hurt to post what I saw this morning. Sounds kinda interesting. Here is the press release! $7.5M Dark Knight Coaster set for April opening Important bits listed below. JACKSON — Visitors to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson next year will get to experience the terror of being victimized by the Joker while waiting to be rescued by Batman. The theme park plans to introduce a new attraction in April: The Dark Knight Coaster, an indoor ride based on Warner Bros. Pictures' upcoming movie "The Dark Knight," which features the DC Comics characters Batman and the Joker. On the coaster, riders will be transformed into citizens of Gotham City, a municipality being tormented by the Joker, according to a news release issued by the park. Riders will speed through six 180-degree turns, climb unseen hills and plunge into pitch darkness as they try to escape danger. Their only hope of rescue is that Batman will arrive in time to save them. The coaster will use storytelling, physical movements, video, sound and special effects to help riders experience the danger of Gotham City, according to the release. It will be located in the Movietown section of Six Flags. The movie "The Dark Knight" is scheduled to open in theaters July 18. In the movie, Batman (Christian Bale) sets out to dismantle the criminal organizations that continue to plague the streets of Gotham City. He, along with Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) must take on a criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger).
