Prepare for the ride of your life...hang on tight but most importantly keep your feet inside the car...but...what happened to the floor of the car? Batman The Ride takes the concept of a rollercoaster to a new level, on Batman your feet dangle free from the ski lift style trains that hang from the track overhead.
Built in 1994 by premier coaster designers Bolliger and Mabillard, Batman The Ride was the first inverted rollercoaster in Southern California and continues to be the one of the most popular attractions in the park.
Suspended from the track riders fly through the air, feet dangling free, experiencing sensations only felt on an inverted coaster.
After cresting the the lift hill, the ride begins with a 105 foot twisting dive into a 77 foot tall vertical loop, followed by a zero gravity one-of-a-kind heartline spin and a second 68 foot tall vertical loop.
Riders then proceed at full throttle through several twisting turns, a few quick dips and two more corkscrew inversions sending your feet for the sky, before the brake run.
The sensation created by an inverted coaster is very different from that of traditional rollercoasters. It is a sensation that every coaster fan must experience. Batman The Ride boasts a top speed of 50 mph that is consistently maintained throughout the ride while giving riders the sensation of upto 4 G's.
