 A B&M Floorless coaster with one of the more unique layouts, Batman: The Dark Knight is intense due to its compact size, and despite its cramped nature, manages to perform five inversions, including a loop, miniature dive loop, zero-G roll, and a set of interlocking flatspins.  Batman packs a punch!

It's not bad. I was actually slightly dissapointed. It's pretty forceless and the last few corkscrews were bad, but it
still packs a bit of a punch, and at least we have SOMETHING, even if it isn't Medusa.

This is a short, intense, and very fun B&M floorless coaster. The ride is somewhat on the short side, but is very
intense througout the entire ride.

This ride is loads of fun, but also very short. Plus, the corkscrews are surprisingly rough for a BaM.

ya this is a very fun coaster, the only down side is that it is really short and the loading and unloading takes more
time that it shoud, but otherwise, pretty good coaster

A unique coaster. Actually alot more intense than it looks, and has an amazing (even if trimmed) Zero-G roll. Capacity
isn't the best, but Batman is definately a worthy ride for a park like SFNE.

one of my favorite floorless coasters and easily in my top 10. sadly, the first time i rode it, i had to sit with my
sister who screams so loud she broke my eardrums (sarcasm for those of you that didnt pick that up :))

Not a great ride. It is ok, but not worth waiting more then half an hour for it. Hardly any +Gs, but the ZeroG gives a
nice pop of floater air. The flat spins give me a headache, but there is a row (the excat middle if I remember
correctely) that is smooth.

Short, but sweet. Go during the off season and you can walk on to any seat, or within a very short wait. Is running
rougher than it did opening year, but still good.

It got smaller this year. The corkscrews didn't seem rough to me though. (I said it got smaller after going on B&Ms that
are bigger than this)

Kinda short which is a downfall. But with the limited space and track it packs a punch. I can't say I felt too much on
the loop, but that second element was totally awesome!

This ride, to me, was almost like medusa but this was so much better....because the line was so short we were about to
go on like 5 times in a row. The ride operators were awesome!

I liked this alot more than Medusa East. More intense and didn't bore me to sleep. I love rides that keep you on the
edge of your seat.

It's too short. This is the only Beemer I will ever say anything negative about but the interlocking corkscrews are
rough. That surprised me, it was unexpected on a Beemer. An OK ride but Medusa East is far better.

Very good ride, but front seat can be rare.
