Batman: The Ride, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, United States.
Batman: The Ride is a 4D Free Spin steel roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, designed by S&S - Sansei Technologies with Alan Schilke and track manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction. Its bright yellow track undulates in waves and drops in large curves on dark grey vertical and diagonal steel columns, with a circular yellow sign bearing a black bat symbol mounted on the frame. Cars climb a 120-foot vertical rise, pivot forward over hills, then plunge into a steep raven drop, flip backward into a second raven drop and finish with a forward flip.
Batman: The Ride was announced for Six Flags Fiesta Texas on August 28, 2014, replacing the Motorama Turnpike car ride that had opened with the park in 1992. Track arrived in February 2015 and the coaster opened on May 23, 2015. A second installation at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom was announced on August 30, 2018, and opened on May 25, 2019.
The ride is themed to the DC Comics superhero Batman, and a circular sign with a black bat symbol on a yellow background is mounted on the grey support frame above the track. The coaster's cars spin freely, so each ride differs depending on gravity and the weight of the riders.
Batman: The Ride is a 4D Free Spin: cars hold several riders and rotate freely on a wing-like axis, so the spinning depends on gravity and the weight distribution of those aboard. The park can adjust the degree of spin with a series of magnetic kickers, tuning the ride to average rider tolerance. Riders climb a 120-foot vertical rise before the first drop.
The cars spin freely on adjustable magnetic kickers, so the degree of rotation depends on gravity and the riders' combined weight; the park can tune the spin over time. The yellow track carries a circular bat emblem on its grey support frame.
