The Bat

The suspended coaster features cars that hang beneath the track, allowing riders to experience side-to-side movements through sharp turns and drops.

Originally opened in 1993, this coaster replaced the previous Vortex attraction and maintains the legacy of the original 1981 Bat installation.

The Bat represents a continuing tradition of naming roller coasters after nocturnal creatures, reflecting the thrill-seeking nature of amusement park attractions.

The ride requires passengers to be at least 48 inches tall and operates at speeds reaching 50 miles per hour through its 2,352-foot track.

During evening hours, the coaster's orange track and charcoal support columns create distinct silhouettes against the night sky.
