One of the most common Batman themed rides is "''[[Batman: The Ride]]''". Batman: The Ride is a {{User:Themeparkgc/Sandboxes/Template|steel|inverted}} manufactured by [[Bolliger & Mabillard]]. It is located at seven Six Flags theme parks including [[Six Flags Great America]], [[Six Flags Great Adventure], [[Six Flags Magic Mountain]], [[Six Flags St. Louis]], [[Six Flags Over Georgia]] and [[Six Flags Over Texas]]. It was formerly located at [[Six Flags New Orleans]] before it was relocated to [[Six Flags Fiesta Texas]] and rethemed to ''Goliath''. |

==Notes== |
|||
Several [[Six Flags]] theme parks, formerly owned by [[Warner Bros.]], opened live-action "Batman Stunt Shows" as the movies increased in popularity. [[Six Flags Great Adventure]] in [[Jackson Township, New Jersey|Jackson, New Jersey]] is home to a looping, suspended [[roller coaster]] named Batman: The Ride ([[Six Flags St. Louis]] has the same ride, as does [[Six Flags Great America]] in [[Gurnee, Illinois]]) as well as twin [[roller coaster]]s named Batman and Robin: The Chiller. On the latter attraction, riders may ride on either the Batman or Robin versions of the coaster. But unfortunately in the 2007 off-season, the ride was removed after a long history of technical difficulties and occasionally breaking down. |
|||
{{Reflist|group=nb}} |
|||
[[Six Flags Over Georgia]] contains a Gotham City area that contains the same Batman: The Ride and also features a looping coaster called The Mindbender that was adapted to fit the color tone of the [[Riddler]] after ''[[Batman Forever]]'' came out to fit the [[Gotham City]] section of the park it shares with Batman: The Ride. |
|||
[[Six Flags Magic Mountain]] in [[Valencia, Santa Clarita, California|Valencia, California]] has two Batman-themed coasters, the suspended coaster Batman: The Ride, and The Riddler's Revenge, a stand-up type roller coaster. This Six Flags park also features an entire themed area called "Gotham City" complete with architecture to match that of the fictional Gotham City. |
|||
[[Warner Bros. Movie World]] in the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], [[Australia]], also has two Batman-themed rides. [[Batman Adventure – The Ride 2|Batman Adventure - The Ride]], revamped in 2001, is a [[motion simulator]] style simulator ride while [[Batwing Spaceshot]] is a vertical free-fall ride. |
|||
In 2008, [[The Dark Knight (Six Flags Great Adventure)|Six Flags Great Adventure]] and [[The Dark Knight (Six Flags Great America)|Six Flags Great America]] unveiled The Dark Knight Coaster, based on the 2008 [[The Dark Knight (film)|Batman film]]. They are [[Wild Mouse roller coaster]]s, indoors, heavily themed, and give riders a feeling that they are being stalked by the Joker. [[Six Flags New England]] was also scheduled to open this ride, but it was relocated due to construction complications. It was relocated to [[Six Flags México]] in 2009. |
