Six Flags Fiesta Texas is opening their first 4D roller coaster (a term i’m still not understanding) in 2015 and calling it BATMAN because, as all of its DC themed rides, it has absolutely nothing to do with Batman (but why pass up the opportunity to use the name recognition for easy-promotional purposes?).
The ride will offer park-goers the experience of “flying like Batman“, a super hero who cannot fly. Well. He’s a skilled pilot. But This isn’t a plane ride. It’s a zipping-around-and-sudden-freefalling ride.
The world’s first, one-of-a-kind onboard magnetic technology featuring six smooth head-over-heels free-fly flips providing guests the feeling of weightlessness as they soar outside the confines of a traditional track
A 4D wing coaster that seats up to eight and has riders “face their fears” by allowing them to physically face each other as they tumble head-over-heels
A 120-foot tall hill that is ascended by an elevator-style lift straight up; Two beyond 90-degree raven drops giving the sensation of free-falling
Five vehicles with eight passengers each
A Bruce Wayne/Batman theme throughout the queue line featuring the Batmobile and Bat-Signal.
