Can you see the Bat Signal? It’s beaming from Vallejo and calling out for the mighty Dark Knight.
And the Caped Crusader is most definitely coming to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom next spring, in the form of Batman: The Ride, a new coaster ride themed after the iconic superhero.
It’s described as a a 4-D experience that includes at least six major flips in “a weightless, tumbling journey with unexpected drops and vertical free-falls.”
“On Batman: The Ride, riders are suspended outward on either side of the track as the cars flip continuously throughout the course of the ride,” park president Don McCoy explained in a news release.
It will be the latest addition to the park’s line of DC Comics-themed rides, which also includes Superman Ultimate Flight, The Joker and Harley Quinn Crazy Coaster, which opened earlier this year.
But this may turn out to be the wildest ride of the bunch.
More details: “After being lifted straight up a 12-story, 90-degree hill, thrill-seekers will experience exhilarating leaps and dives along a horizontal plane, with unexpected drops as they tumble from one level to the next,” the park announcement adds. “The pandemonium and chaos ramps up since there is no track above or below — just the sky, ground and plenty of sinister thrills.”
The park says on-board magnetic technology creates a “feeling of weightlessness” for riders, who will also experience two 90-degree drops and several flips.
