The Riddler Revenge, Pendulum ride at Six Flags Over Texas, US.
The Riddler Revenge is a pendulum ride at Six Flags Over Texas, an amusement park in Arlington, Texas. Riders sit on a large rotating disc with seats facing outward, and the whole structure swings back and forth while spinning.
The ride opened in 2016 as part of the Gotham City themed section of the park. That section had been built over the years to bring DC Comics characters into the park's lineup of attractions.
The ride takes its name from a DC Comics villain, which gives comic book fans something extra to enjoy beyond the motion itself. The area around the ride carries the same character-based theme, with visual details tied to the Riddler.
It is worth checking the height requirement before joining the line, since not all visitors will be able to ride. Wait times tend to grow on warm days and during school holidays, so arriving earlier in the day generally helps.
At the top of each swing, riders tilt forward into a near-inverted position and face almost straight down toward the ground. That brief moment at the peak is often what riders remember most after the ride ends.
