What riders love
  • This tiny invert packs a hard punch!
  • All loops are really forceful, and you can feel your blood rushing to your legs in the final helix.
  • Batman is an extraordinarily intense ride. It is relentless from start to finish.
  • This thing is wildly intense, all the inversions and forceful helices, and the whip on that zero-g roll, as is tradition with old school B&M was absolutely fantastic!
  • I also like the intensity on the loops which whip you over them.
  • This B&M Invert's heartline and corkscrews are still as fun as it was when it opened back in 1994.
  • Theming was great though; the queue going through the Batcave was a really nice touch.
  • This ride also has a well-themed station, especially for a Six Flags park.
  • One of the better themed lines and ride here

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Magic Mountain

I’ve heard friends complain of a rattle, but especially with the new paint job I find it to be very smooth, even after nearly 30 years of run.

Josh Miller

The Batman series of rides are famous for their smoothness, wild intensity and relentless pacing.

Theme Park James

On the lower end of Batman clones I’ve ridden...sounded like something was going to breakoff at just about any point.

Sean Reardon

I significantly prefer the first half as the second half is just a bunch of corkscrews that can cause headbanging.

Shmee

Placed in a park filled with behemoths, this coaster seems to be forgotten, but its still one of the most intense coasters in the park.

JarvisTheAllosaurus

Personally, I don’t like the intensity on this ride because it can be so much that it is very painful for my legs.

Erik C.

While it shows great instensity in the helix’s and inversions, it is an extremely short ride with the layout showing nothing special.

ZTS squish

I think the amazing thing to me was how like an RMC layout this ride has with lots of less forceful but fun and crazy intense inversions and twists.

David

Not gonna lie, this ride is pretty intense if you keep your eyes open, but it’s a little generic for the inverted ride you see at almost any theme park.

All You Can Ride

Man this ride pulls some really intense Gs actually.

@wolfhoodlum1789

As with any attraction featuring this layout, this ride is incredibly fast-paced and intense considering its small stats.

CoasterKing

Potentially the most forceful of any B&M, one of the best versions of this clone, runs insanely well for its age and has a relentless fast paced ride experience.

Element 115

Still very intense with its fast paced inversions that left me with all the blood in my legs!

brothers back row

It’s fast paced and intense, and I grey out on it depending on where I’m sitting.

Ethan Finn

Was running slow.

Noah Sanchez

It is still a really solid ride with tons of inversions, the intensity is way up there, and to have 4 people per row you can really get the queue moving quickly due to high capacity.

Max S.

It’s a fun ride but it’s not really worth the 2 hour wait in my opinion it’s just another silver bullet but just a lot faster more bumpy and has really tight turns

@vision_isaiah9932
Motion sickness risk

Every time I get off, I get all dizzy, but I’m a good way.

@discontinuedchannel4544

The final two corkscrews are so intense that I always get off the ride feeling dizzy, but in a good way!

Sean Reardon, Captain Coaster review

It was a short ride with decent intensity, but I just felt like it didn’t do anything special.

Ryan Hanna, Captain Coaster review

Talk about an intense B&M, it may not have an original layout but this layout is efficient, intense elements, and great pace throughout the whole layout

Randy93 -opp, Captain Coaster review

The Batman series of rides are famous for their smoothness, wild intensity and relentless pacing.

Theme Park James, published review

The first half isn’t so bad, but once you get to the corkscrews, the intensity turns up to 11.
