Ive ridden many versions of Batman the Ride and this is definitely my favorite one. Being the original this one has the most theming, and its the only one in the middle of the park, and also the only one that flies over trees and water instead of concrete and gravel. As usual Batman is forceful, fast paced, and intense, and with the better setting and theming, this is my favorite coaster at Great America.

It is a fast ride that is very fun! There is lots loops, twists, and turns that make the ride very fun, but those paired with the speed makes the ride very jerky. That is why this is not a 5 star ride because it makes your head hurt after and if you get sick at all I would not recommend this ride because it can cause sickness very easily. Overall I recommend this ride because it is very fun!!

This ride is the bomb- diggity! I love how the entrance line is bat cave themed. Plus what made it even more cool and thrilling was the queue line. because it had the Batman suit in a case to make it seem that we are in his lair! Not to mention the wicked twists and turns. (Plus I love the Batman franchise)

Outstanding ride - the very first B+M invert, opened in 1992. Very fast, intense and disorientating. Riding the front row on this ride is the best.

One of my favorite rides in the park. I remember when the lines used to be huge. Love the loops and screws that it does. Its not the tallest of its kind but it is still very fun to ride.

This ride is sooo smooth! I totally recommend it to non-thrill riders. I’m not a fan of huge roller coasters like the raging bull, but this roller coaster is AWESOME!!

Note that this review will be of the Batman clone at Six Flags Great Adventure. I know they are all the same ride but I have heard they give different experiences. The one at Great Adventure certainly threw me for a loop. This was possibly the most intense invert I have ridden so far, and most people who havent ridden it wouldnt think so because of its fairly small stature. What makes this ride intense is its tight compact layout. It has a small amount of space, so it is constantly throwing something at you left and right. There are no breaks. At every moment, there is an element hurdling towards you. One complaint the ride gets is that its too compact, resulting in major headbanging. However if you just keep your head forward for the tight maneuvers, you should be fine. Trust me youll need to. This ride can be rough if and jerky if not taken the proper precautions. If you keep your head forward, you should have a good experience like I did.

Batman has always been one of my favorite rides in the park. It’s fast paced swooping action imitates it’s namesake well- a furious action coaster that’s one heck of a ride. Six Flag’s set designers did a wonderful job designing the queue line. Making you feel as though you are discovering and entering the Bat Cave.

Amazing ride. This was actually my 1st big roller coaster and I loved it. I was actual only 9. At 1st, it wasnt fast but 1 year later, it was twice as fast. when you go down the 1st hill, it sounds like your in a tornado. When you get to the 1st loop, you really enjoy it. there is also barrel rolls too. Very intense G - Force. I cant wait to ride it again this summer.

The ride is so cool here. It goes upside down and twists. The line can be a bit long but worth it.

Batman is a must ride when at the park. The fact that the ride is inverted means that it it can come very close to the ground, at times only a few feet from the line. It is rather smooth and has very intense speed and turns. The line is usually moderate with plenty of shade and has a nice Gotham theme to it, including a crashed police cruiser and a leaking fire hydrant. The biggest issue is that the interior secrion of the line has on some occasions smelled of urine. But your time there is usually short enough for it not to be that bad.

Its the original Batman: The Ride and its still roaring as the trains speed around the nice shrubbery that is around. Short layout but the intensity and G-forces make up for it

I liked the roller coaster, but the unscheduled delays every time I go to ride it is a bit unsettling.
