Batwing Spaceshot

Batwing Spaceshot, Space Shot ride at Warner Bros Movie World, Gold Coast, Australia

The Batwing Spaceshot is a tower ride at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast that launches passengers straight up before dropping them back down at high speed. The tower stands tall above the surrounding park and is visible from many areas within the grounds.

Construction began in mid-2006 when the queue of the former Looney Tunes Musical Revue show was demolished and the ground excavated. In July 2006 the ride was confirmed as an S&S Power Space Shot, and it opened as the Batwing Spaceshot on 20 December 2006, installed by Ride Entertainment Group. It followed the Superman Escape coaster, which had opened on 26 December 2005.

The ride's logo is based on the bat-signal from the film Batman Begins, and a rectangular panel with the word "BATWING" and a bat emblem is mounted on the tower's upper section. Beyond the logo, the ride has no other similarity to that film.

The ride lasts 50 seconds and handles 360 passengers per hour, so queues move steadily. Riders are launched to 61 metres at 64 km/h and feel up to 4 Gs, then drop back down. The tower stands in Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast; the entrance is reached through the park's central pathways.

This tower uses compressed air to push passengers upward rather than the electromagnets found in many other modern tower rides. That pneumatic system gives the launch a raw, direct feeling that riders often describe as more physically intense than expected.
