BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT

Six Flags New England

Batman: The Dark Knight is not appreciably different from other floorless coasters I’ve ridden.   Seating four across, the train proceeds from the loading station up a 117.8-foot lift hill before dropping to the left and going up into a vertical loop.   This is shortly followed by a dive loop, then a left turn which results in the train travelling on the far side of the track.  The next element is a zero-g roll.  Coming out of the zero-g roll, the train makes another turn and takes the riders through interlocking corkscrews.   It’s a nice, smooth ride, not too intense and not too tame.   However, I found that it lacked the kick of, for instance, Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure although that is probably not a fair comparison because the coaster at SFGA is an inverted one.    Batman: The Dark Knight is enjoyable but not exceptional.  3 out of 5 stars.  For more information about rides at Six Flags New England, visit www.sixflags.com/NEWENGLAND/
