This article is about the Wild Mouse coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, Great America, and Mexico. For the floorless coaster at Six Flags New England, see Batman: The Dark Knight (roller coaster).
The Dark Knight Coaster is the name of three enclosed steel roller coasters that are currently operating at Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America and Six Flags México. They opened in 2008 and 2009, timed closely to the theatrical release of The Dark Knight.[1][2] The roller coasters are manufactured by Mack Rides.

History Edit

Six Flags Great Adventure Edit
To aid in the construction of The Dark Knight, both Batman & Robin: The Chiller[3] and Movietown Water Effect were removed. The roller coaster primarily occupies the previous location of the Movietown Water Effect, with the queue area placed in front of the building.[citation needed] Original plans called for the demolition of the Batman & Robin: The Chiller station and observatory but were later excluded from demolition plans.[citation needed] The exit was originally slated to go through the present Justice League gift shop adjacent to the ride, but this turned out not to be the case.[citation needed] On May 15, 2008, The Dark Knight officially opened to the public.[4]

Six Flags Great America Edit
In preparation for The Dark Knight, the Theater Royale building was extensively modified and themed as a Gotham City Rail terminal.[5] It officially opened on May 21, 2008.[6]
