Taylor J and I skipped a morning meeting to join St. Louis first responders BACKWARD on Batman: The Ride. You in? The park opens THIS Saturday, March 24th and Batman will be in reverse through May 13th.
About the ride
Using a state-of-the art, specially designed chassis, the ski-lift style cars on BATMAN: The Ride will be turned 180° in the opposite direction. Riders will experience the thrill of a lifetime as they take flight on this one-of-a-kind adventure:
- Leave the Batcave™ and ascend up the 10-story lift—backward;
- Experience nearly 2,700 feet of track at speeds of 50 miles per hour—backward; and
- Fly through a 70-foot vertical loop, two heart-pounding outside helices, a second vertical loop, and a zero-gravity roll—all while facing backward.
Both a backward and a forward train will be in operation on BATMAN: The Ride, so guests who prefer to face their thrills head on may still do so. Since opening in 1995, BATMAN: The Ride has given over 23.7 million thrilling rides and continues to reign as one of the most popular roller coasters in the world.
