Batman the Ride
Batman the Ride is a thrilling inverted roller coaster that was introduced at Six Flags over Texas for the 1999 season. Manufactured by the Swiss coaster company Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M), the inverted coaster features a train that hangs below the track and lets riders' legs dangle freely below, making for a unique ride experience.
Although not the largest or fastest at a 105-foot lift hill and 50 mph top speed, Batman is still one of the most intense rides at Six Flags over Texas. It features five inversions -- two vertical loops, two corkscrews (or wingovers or flat spins as they're called on B&M inverted coasters), and a zero-G roll.
Located in the Gotham City section of the park, Batman the Ride's close proximity to the Mr. Freeze ride makes it appear as if the rides are "dueling," adding to the experience of both rides.
Ride Experience
The queue line for Batman the Ride takes you on a journey through Gotham City. Crime seems rampant as graffiti is everywhere and a police car has crashed and been vandalized. Eventually you're taken into the Batcave where various technologies developed by Batman are shown, before finally boarding the train and heading off to fight crime.

Batman may be a very common inverted coaster in Six Flags and some other parks (under different names), but this coaster delivers! Intense G-forces, steep drops, and many inversions await you on this amazing ride! It is also extremely smooth, and it feels like a brand new coaster!
MY RATING: 5 stars

This ride does have one of the best themed queue lines in the park. Ride is a total blast as well.
