Batwing Spaceshot

The Batwing Spaceshot is a tower ride at Warner Bros Movie World on the Gold Coast that catapults passengers straight up and then plunges them back down rapidly. The entire experience lasts about 50 seconds and generates intense gravitational forces.

The ride opened in 2006 and replaced an older film-themed attraction that had been in the park. Since then it has become one of the more notable rides within the facility.

The name and design of this ride draw from Batman lore and integrate into the broader film-themed environment of the park. Visitors experience this superhero connection woven throughout the area's look and feel.

To experience this ride, passengers must meet a minimum height requirement and should be prepared for intense acceleration and deceleration forces. Anyone with a fear of heights or strong movement should consider whether this is a suitable choice.

This ride uses compressed air rather than electromagnets to propel passengers upward, which sets it apart from many modern tower attractions. The pneumatic system creates a distinctive sensation of raw force during launch.
