Six Flags Fiesta Texas decided to make the world a better place by introducing a 4D roller coaster simply known as Batman: The Ride. The amazing design of the spiffy new ride employs ultra-modern magnetic technology, which causes riders to flip head over heels with the feeling of pure weightlessness. It also boasts as the first roller coaster in the world to introduce this technology….and to sweeten the deal, they included a full-scale Batmobile, the Bat-Signal, plus cutting edge special effects throughout the ride!

Park president Martin Bozer says:

“Every year we continue to provide more and more innovative technology and excitement for our park guests and season pass holders. BATMAN™: The Ride is an entirely new concept in ride engineering and will provide a sensory experience like no other coaster. The unanticipated tumbling will add even more thrills as riders travel along the dipping and swirling track”
