Batman: The Ride is a 4D Free Spin roller coaster in Six Flags Fiesta Texas amusement park in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Manufactured by S&S Worldwide, the roller coaster is the first 4D Free Spin coaster in the world. It opened on May 25, 2015.[1]

History

Teasing for Batman: The Ride started in mid-summer before the announcement, with for sale signs placed in many Rockville themed shops along with a balloon at Motorama Turnpike.[2] In August 2014, Fiesta Texas announced the closure of one of the parks original rides, Motorama Turnpike and Golden Ticket Award winning show, Rockin' at Rockville High in effort for the theme section Rockville to receive an urban renewal according from the park.[3] Batman: The Ride was officially announced on August 28, 2014, along with new attractions at other Six Flags parks.[4]

Ride

Batman: The Ride is an S&S Worldwide '4D Free Spin' roller coaster where riders zig zag along the track. Riders can flip head over heels up to six times throughout the ride in a somewhat uncontrolled manner. The ride was the first of its kind in the world.[5] The coaster will be located where Motorama Turnpike was on the northernmost part of the Rockville section along Fiesta Texas Railroad.

Theme

As the name suggests, Batman: The Ride is themed to the DC Comics superhero, Batman. The coaster will be located in the 50's themed section, Rockville. The coaster will feature a Bruce Wayne-Batman-themed queue line along with the Batmobile and Bat-Signal.[6]
