Its only an ok ride, which is below average for a B&M. As a "floorless" B&M, it doesnt have the speed or scale of the better Medusa at SFGA. As a smaller ride B&M, it doesnt have the pace or unpredictability of Six Flag Great Adventures Batman.

A sheep in Batmans clothing - not to say that this coaster was not intense, for it most certantly was, but it was such a quick ride that I was just getting warmed up bt the time the ride was over. I understand there were space constraints that had to be worked with, but this coaster begs the question "just how short is too short?". Neverthess, a smooth and thrilling ride... while it lasts.

Well Id better review this ride before the new season starts. In one word, "OVERHYPED". Six flags made this sound like the second coming of the ultimate coaster god. Sorry but the emporer has no clothes. I realize that BTDK has a lot to live up to, especially if compared to Superman, the ride it would help out by reducing queue line length. Well its all bull****. You get on, you do some loops, big friggin deal. The much hated Mind Eraser (which I LOVE) has it all over this ride, specifically in INTENSITY (and please dont give me your garbage about comparing one coaster to another, I know we SHOULDNT, but we all do). Mind Eraser may have a weak ending, but when its over, you KNOW YOUVE BEEN ON A COASTER. Batman is like an oreo cookie. Tastes good going down, but when its done you say to yourself, "what was that, its all oveeeeeeer? theres more right? No theres no more....... youre kidding me, what the..... thats IT!!!!!!!!?????" And by the way, Mind Eraser has the SAME amount of invesions as BTDK. Mind Eraser has Loop into in line twist (two elements) into half loop into partial corkscrew (one more) into DOUBLE in line twist (two more). BTDK has Loop into Immelman (thats two elements) into zero g role into two corkscrews (thats three more). BOTH have FIVE inversions, no more, no less. Batman has the zero g roll, its only saving grace, and the only reason Ill wait a half hour for this coaster, and no more. Also the "floorless" theme is garbage. An inverted coaster is MUCH more intense. To have NOTHING underneath you on a coaster is great fun. You truely feel like your body is dangling in thin air. On the floorless, big f***ing deal. Youre packed in four to a row and cant move your arms at all, if your a normal sized adult. And last but not least, this B&M (maybe like ALL B&Ms) looks like cheese. The track on the Intamin SUPERMAN and the VEKOMA Mind Eraser looks like it was meant to last for EVER!!!. The B&M track on BTDK looks like cheese sheet metal, it will rust, fall apart, fall into the Earth, and well build a new coaster (maybe even an ACE classic woodie) where Batman used to be. That wouldnt be a bad thing at all. Six Flags New England is my home park and I love it. Superman is such a great coaster it is beyond description. But Six Flags better do more than this cheese puff throw away to keep its loyal fans happy (how about bringing back Cyclone to its original status). Otherwise Lake Compounce becomes my favorite park here in western New England. Batman has a very nice station house and I love that zero g roll, so it gets a "6" rating from me, which means above average, but probably more thatn it deserves.

Wow, i dont know what happened, really. This was the first ride i went on this season, in fact i got the very first ride on in this season...in the front...parkside!!! but for some reason i wasnt as impressed as i was last season. still one of my favorites, but now id wait for Superman before i look at Batman.

First time i saw it from the parking lot i said "thats it". The ride was too short, i waited an hour for it and the only way i can justify waiting that long was because i had never ridden it before and i figured i should try it. While i was on it what went through my mind was "this kicks ass" but as soon as that thought was over so was the ride. That thought is the only thing that kept this coaster from a 1. Had the coaster been longer then i might have enjoyed it but it seemed the general concensus of the groiup i went with was that it was a disappointment. The inversions were great and im definately a fan of floorless coasters (Kraken and Superman Krypton Coaster are among my top rides) but this didnt do it for me. As a side note i was also disappointed that it wasnt incorporated into "Superheri Adventures". So i give this ride a 4..my advice..skip it and head on over to Superman.

A good floorless with constant speed throughout the course and inversion after inversion.

Check out for photos of Batman: The Dark Knight.

According to my buddy, a clone of Batman: Knight Flight at SFWoA (but with a nicer color scheme of deep purple & blue). I found that this floorless had an enjoyable and disorienting track layout. A nice first drop into a loop and a nice reversal back to ward the lift hill. I enjoyed the tight ending as well. It was a flawless floorless as we have come to expect from B&M. However, I dont think it matches the likes of Medusa at SFGrAdv or Kraken at SWO. (One Train Running: 20 Minute Wait)

This was a good ride. I found it to be worth the wait, even if it was a little bit short.

A decent coaster, fast and smooth with fun inverstions. But, the ride is extremely short.
