Dark Knight Roller Coaster At Six Flags Next Summer

Six Flags have announced that they are building a new Dark Knight themed roller coaster at three parks. The new attraction, to be named The Dark Knight Coaster, will open at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ, Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL and Six Flags in New England in Agawam, MA in May 2008 - months before Christopher Nolan’s film hits theatres.

It is estimated the rides will cost $7.5 million each and according to Six Flags, The Dark Knight Coaster will “transform guests into citizens of Gotham City - caught in the middle of a city under siege and torn apart by The Joker.”

The coaster will use physical movement along with storytelling, video, sound and special effects to ensure guests have a one-of-a-kind dark ride experience:

Six Flags says the excitement begins as guests venture through demented hallways of twists, turns and hallucinatory images, while they are tormented by The Joker himself. Then as they set foot onto a distressed, vandalized train platform, they can only guess at what awaits them as they speed through six 180-degree hairpin turns, climb unseen hills, plunge into pitch darkness and dip into unforeseen danger. And of course, in the midst of all this chaos it’ll be up to Batman himself to save you.

It is not yet known if images and footage from Christopher Nolan’s film will be used, or the cartoon/comic book versions of Batman and The Joker will be featured.
