Arkham Asylum – Shock Therapy, Steel roller coaster in Warner Bros Movie World, Gold Coast, Australia
The inverted coaster featured five inversions including a roll over, sidewinder, double in-line twist, and helix along its 765-meter track length.
Opening in December 1995 as Lethal Weapon The Ride, the attraction underwent rebranding to Arkham Asylum in 2012 before closing permanently in December 2019.
The redesigned queue area incorporated elements from Batman mythology, with graffiti by the Joker and displays featuring various villains from Gotham City.
Riders needed to measure between 140 and 200 centimeters tall to experience the coaster, which operated two trains carrying 20 passengers each.
The installation marked the first steel inverted roller coaster in Australia and included virtual reality enhancements from September 2014 until its closure.
