Favorite Batman Themed Rollercoaster

[coasterbill]

I enjoyed Batwing, but Batman the Ride is awesome. I love inverts and even though it's short it's very forceful.

[GnastyGnoric7]

The Batman Clones, they are just so wicked in all the right ways.

[rcjp]

^Agree. Riding one just a week ago reminded me of how good they are.

[FaithPlus1]

I vote for none of the above.

[Genx24]

B:TR, easily. Only been on the one at GAdv, which is incredible. The Dark Knight coaster (same park) is pathetic. Dark Knight at SFNE was really disappointing. Honourable mention to Gotham City Gauntlet. I know it's a mouse, but I liked the theming.

One of the very few, if any, stand-up coasters that beared the BATMAN name on it,

this was at ASTROWORLD back in the early fall of 1992. I was there for a

conference, but actually had the Sat.afternoon off, so I immediately went to

Astroworld, where the new BATMAN Stand-Up Coaster had just debuted that season.

 

I rode it several times. It was great for a stand-up at that time, and I really

remembered that one.

 

So, that's my "Other" choice.

 

EDIT to add: It also had an inline (?) corkscrew, which I had never seen or ridden

in a stand-up, for that time period, late '90s. I had ridden a few by then.

I would say my favorites that I've been on are:

 

B:TR - SFMM

Dark Knight - SFM (themeing was excellent inside the building and out, and it's fun to watch the pre-show dubbed in Spanish.)

B:TR - SFM

 

However, in the poll my finger somehow clicked B:TR - SFM. Gotta show some love

[Mrlittle]

^^ I also put other for Batman: The Escape at Astroworld. I don't necessary like stand up coasters but it was fun. What made it stand out in my mind was the theming when it first open. The line went through a Batcave, then a park of Gotham. The line then had the Duck car that Penguin drives in Batmam Returns. Finally, ending through a hallway where you ended walking up some stairs to the station which was also themed. Even the ride went through a tunnel with theming.

[Nrthwnd]

^ Great! And yes, it had all that, leading up to and into

the loading station of the ride. Very involved, soundwise, lol.

It was quite buildup to the coaster, for it's time.

[singforfood]

My vote is for the B&M inverts.

[xChris125x]

Batwing has such a good foundation to be themed as the best Batman ride butttttttt Six Flags

[DoinItForTheFame]

I am actually a huge fan of the Batman clones. They are very fast paced, and pretty forceful. My head is always spinning when we hit the brake run! So right now my vote goes to the Batman clones.

 

However, I bet that will change when Batman opens at SFFT!

This right here

Looked it up, did not know that Intamin made that. looks like B&M track, then I saw the subcontractor and it made sense!

I've ridden 2 B:TR clones, the former B:KF, Chiller, TDK, and B:DK.

 

I'd rank them Chiller (preferred Batman side over Robin), B:KF, B:TR, B:DK, and then TDK.

[mike541x]

I've been on Batwing and Dark Knight (SFNE), and I think DK wins this one for me. Even though I've ridden it once, I remember how fun it was for such a compact floorless. Batwing is still a fun ride though.

[boldikus]

Ive done B:TR (awesome), The Dark Knight (blah), and Batwing (horrible).

[CPmillenia94]

Batwing, although not as good as B:TR, is still probably my favorite flyer, why the hate for this?

[GwaziBSRider1]

Let's see...four clones, Knight Flight, Batwing, two Dark Knight mice, the floorless Dark Knight, and the SLC. If you count the villains: Catwoman's Whip, Two Face, Riddler's, and Joker. The best would have to be Knight Flight, even if it is Dominator now. Worst would definitely be Batwing.

[VF15]

Been on the B&M invert clone and the Dark Knight wild mouse, so my favorite would have to be the B&M invert clone. Although, if I was to ride the new B:TR coming to SFFT next year, I think that would become my new favorite.

[Angle O. Descent]

I almost feel obliged to pick the B&M inverts, but Batwing really surprised me. Underrated in my opinion.

I only rode it once but it was just the other day. Awful loading, sketchy restraints, that weird flip into the drop, the really loud anti-rollbacks. Maybe if I had done it a few times I would like it but I didn't want to waste my time if I still didn't enjoy it the 2nd time. Also, no pretzel loop. :/

[GwaziBSRider1]

^ That's a great summary of Batwing. I honestly thought I was going to fall out of it when I rode it. Although, it isn't the worst Dutchman, IMO. Nighthawk at Carowinds takes that cake.

[CPmillenia94]

The restraints do the same thing the b&m ones do, just in a different way. The ride is very forceful and fast pace, and the flips during the turns are fantastic too. The pretzel loops are good, but they are the only part that is intense on B&M flyers. The loop is just as interesting imo.
