The Dark Knight movie was a great thing to theme a roller coaster after, and six flags did a great job. The dark knight, starts you out in the queue, watching the real Harvey dent during a press conference. The Joker interrupts with spray painting the walls and scaring the guests, and showing clips of psychologically unnerving things. Moments later you evacuate into the Gotham city rail. The coaster twists and turns you around every which way, all the while being taunted and attacked by the jokers men. The effects are pretty good, although not Universal quality. Some of the drops on the coaster are quite unexpected and so are the turns. The last effect once you hit the brakes is a bunch of the jokers mechanical men jumping out at you, which I admit got really freaked out by, because I wasn't paying attention. Overall for younger kids and families this coaster has quite the scare factor. The theming is great, the coaster is quite thrilling and the overall ride works great.
