OK, as a Batman fan, I was thrilled to read this. Maybe it's not much, but after years of crappy non-themed "Batman" coasters, this is AMAZING news. I always thought the character could have amazing dark ride/themed coaster potential, and it looks like Six Flags may finally start playing around with the idea:
September 27, 2007
New York -- Six FlagsSix Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ, Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL and Six Flags New England in Agawam, MA in May 2008. Each installation will cost an estimated $7.5 million.
"Today's announcement represents Six Flags Great America's continued focus on delivering a well-rounded and balanced entertainment package," said Hank Salemi, Six Flags Great America's Park President.
The Dark Knight Coaster according to Six Flags will transform guests into citizens of Gotham City - caught in the middle of a city under siege and torn apart by The Joker.
"The Dark Knight Coaster offers a unique experience that will appeal to families and teens alike," added Mark Kane, Six Flags Great Adventure's Park President.
Onboard The Dark Knight Coaster, guests will experience the ride of their lives.
Six Flags says the excitement begins as guests venture through demented hallways of twists, turns and hallucinatory images, while they are tormented by The Joker himself. Then as they set foot onto a distressed, vandalized train platform,The Dark Knight Coasters will use storytelling, physical movement, video, sound and special effects to bring guests a one-of-a-kind dark ride experience.
