The Bat

The suspended coaster stretches across the park with orange tracks supported by charcoal beams, featuring seven cars that swing freely beneath the rails.

Opening in 1993 as Top Gun, the attraction underwent name changes to Flight Deck in 2008 before receiving its current name in 2014.

The original queue incorporated military elements, including an aircraft carrier control room where visitors passed through before reaching the loading platform.

The ride carries 28 passengers per train through a course beginning with a 78-foot climb followed by a 70-foot drop into multiple banking turns.

During the final segment, riders experience sharp directional changes that cause the suspended cars to swing rapidly from side to side.
