THE (NEW) BAT-COASTER

Take a look at the newest thrill ride swinging into Gotham.

Here’s a rendering of the highly anticipated Dark Knight Coaster, a $7.5 million Batman-themed scream machine set to open April 26 at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

The ride lasts just two minutes, but will rise 45 feet high and reach speeds of 30 mph, according to reports, winding along 1,213 feet of track as the Joker pops in and out in his menacing way.

The Dark Knight’s 10 open, miniature cars are dispatched individually every 14 seconds, each with four passengers in tow.

But the twists and turns may not even be the best part for true blue Batman buffs – the ride will also include exclusive clips from Warner Brothers’ “Dark Knight” film to be released this summer. The movie stars Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger.
