This ride surprised me very much for such a compact layout you feel like your zooming through every part of it. especially great was how fast you pick up speed on the 1st drop.



----great ride

I loved this ride!!! The best time to go on it is the last 20-30 minutes before the park closes... works everytime for me, no line... so, i can re-ride like 5 times... This ride is one of the best inverted coasters i've ever been on! A must-ride!

April 1st, 2005
This ride has to be one of the greatest rides ever. The theming is great, but the ride, obviously, is WAY better. With two loops, a heartline twist, two corkscrews and a couple turn-around/helixes, this ride is a non stop thrill... Front seat is the best!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Intense, but not the best
March 13th, 2005
Batman has a very twisted layout, leading to a very intense ride. Even though it is a very short ride and doesn't have as many elements as other inverts, it is still a great ride and should be ridden every trip to Magic Mountain.

February 27th, 2005
One of the better Batmans ive been the only thing missing here is the landscaping and the things on the back of the seats. Though the landscaping is a big blow the theming and actual ride rock! Very intense and leaves me wanting more. Just the way I like it! Of the Batman clones i've been on i'd have to say MMs ranks 2nd



4: Gadv- bleh, its just the same as the other ones but has more "missing". And a really crappy batcave.

3: STL- damn good ride but it felt really strange going the other way and i didnt think it was as fun and didnt seem as intense for some reason and the theming wasnt as good as the top

2: MM- yeah read review

1: Gam- One of my favorite rides i've been on, read review.

I had SO MUCH FUN! The wait times aren't bad when MM manages to run two trains so that's a plus. This ride is about as intense as they come and is extremely fast paced. I would recommend it to any inverted fan.

Summary: Good Old B&M
December 21st, 2004
This is a really good example of a good, small, and many forces B&M. The theming is excellent. The station is cool, whenever the train leaves the station, the lights go dim. The ride is very intense and goes by very quickly. Do not miss this if you go.

Wow! This ride is much better than it looks. This is also a very important coaster for me because it was my first coaster with an inversion.



Pros

Station!

The fact that you think it will be average, then you ride it, and you find that it is one of the best rides at the park.

Fast inversions



Cons

Too short

Line can be long

This is a great little ride. It packs alot of intensity in a short amount of time and space. If the ride was 30 seconds longer you'd probably pass out.

Summary: Very Intense and Fun
August 15th, 2003
Batman: The Ride is seriously one of my favorite rides at Magic Mountain and I look forword to rideing it everytime I go to the park. The rides wiskes you away and puts you into Gotham City Park where you will walk through gardens with trees and flowers. But then you find yourself in the bad part of Gotham City where it seems that Batman's enemys are causeing trouble. You will come across a police car that has crashed into a fire hydrant and appears to have been shot up. You will also come across some interesting "junk yard" themeing in the queue while listening to a police presute somewhere off in the distance. With the coaster itself occasionally roaring next to to the queue, you zig and zag back and forth in the switchbacks before takeing a storm drain secreet enterence to the "Bat Cave". After you reach the loading station themed to the bat cave, you choose a row you wish to sit in and shortly board the B&M inverted train for one of the best (yet shortest) rides in the park! Batman: The Ride is very intense due to its ultra compact layout. I dont know about anyone else but I find its worth the time I spend in line. Well worth it and its fun.

Even with it's small layout, Batman The Ride can become anyones favorite with one ride. Very smooth and fun for all ages. The only downfall is that it's too short, but it still packs a PUNCH!

Summary: Best SIX FLAGS ride
August 10th, 2003
I thought I was a good ride, but what made it so great was the capacity of it and the themeing is incredible for a SF ride. Its one of my favorite rides, because the themeing is un-believeable.
Overall definitly one of my top coasters..

Summary: Twisted
July 22nd, 2003
Batman The Ride is twisted. When you zip through the inversions it makes you think " what's going on ". This ride is packed with intense forces. The theming is excellent. So when you are in line you won't be bored. This inverted coaster will always be on my top ten list!

Batman The Ride is an excellent, disorienting ride! You zip through the inversions and twists so fiercly, it takes your breath away. This rides packs a punch, though the ride is very short. The theming is excellent, and usually the lines aren't too long.

Summary: Very Surprising!
April 22nd, 2003
Magic Mountain's "Batman: The Ride" surprised me very much. I thought it was going to be a typical floorless coaster that I just wanted to ride to check-off my coaster list. However, it was much taller and much faster than I expected. Don't underestimate this coaster, it's a must-ride! The waiting lines are acceptable and the theming is amazing, with Batmobile and all!

Overall, a great ride that you can't miss! GRADE: A
