I'm choosing to review Dark Knight at its peak. I loved what this ride was when the pre-show and ride effects were all working. It was a blast! It's such a shame that the ride is always busted in one way or another these days. If they got this back up to it's full potential, I think folks would really enjoy it. It's still a wild mouse in a box, so the layout and forces are nothing special, but it's a really fun experience altogether.

This is an above average wild mouse. It has the sharp turns and drops that any other has, but this one is above the average wild mouse due to its level of theming. It’s indoors and it’s covered in got...

This is an above average wild mouse. It has the sharp turns and drops that any other has, but this one is above the average wild mouse due to its level of theming. It’s indoors and it’s covered in gotham theming. The turns and drops are still predictable so they’re not that surprising in the dark, but the theming is cool so it’s a decent family ride.

I remember being a kid and being SO excited for this ride to open. I watched all of the promotional material and somehow never quite figured out what it really was... immediately after you leave the lift hill and see the first piece of "theming" (walls floating in space to either side of you but strangely far away with, uh, the words "ha ha ha" written on them) I knew it was going to be awful. Seconds later we hit the first hairpin turn and I immediately knew, to my immense disappointment, that this was just a wild mouse stuck indoors with some truly abysmal theming. The thing that elevates it to a sort of avant-garde excellence is how comically unconducive a wild mouse is to theming, so all of the set pieces (which do sort of exist) are 10 feet above you and 90 degrees to the side- if you crane your neck all over the place you'll realize there's actually stuff to see but it's impossible to notice riding it, well, normally. With one exception- that is: there's one point where you head directly towards a piece of scenery which is well-lit and entirely visible. It's some barrels. Some weirdly prominently-displayed well-lit barrels. It hits like a punchline. The wild mouse is such a snappy, zippy, quick type of coaster, I can't imagine a worse foundation. For the sheer disappointment I suffered as a kid I have to give this 0.5 stars but i think it holds some value if, like me, you have the proclivity to ride a rollercoaster "ironically."

The Dark Knight is a relocated indoor souped up wild mouse that was used to promote the 2008 movie The Dark Knight. There is a preloading film where the Joker hacks a news press conference which can be unsettling. The cars are train themed and the layout is supposed to be Gotham’s subway system. The city cutouts, fog, and flashing lights add to the decent theming this ride does. The turns can eject you sideways in the dark and at the end of the day it’s just an improved wild mouse.

J'ai juste un souvenir de la déco très cheap mais rigolote du layout. Mis à part ça, on le fait pour le crédit et on ne repassera plus ! Mention pour la théma de la file d'attente qui diffère un tout ...

This is easily the best Mack Wild Maus I've ridden. The attention to detail in the theming actually blew me away; I did not expect that from a Six Flags park. The ride ran at a comfortable speed, so I found the turns much more enjoyable than Ricochet at Carowinds. If there isn't a line outside then I recommend giving this one a shot, it's pretty fun. 5/10 - Six Flags wild mouse pre-show was not what I was expecting I will be honest with you

Une wild mouse dans le noir qui est assez fun à faire. Les décors sont plutôt bien faits et s'éclairent au dernier moment, et certaines drops sont cachées dans la pénombre. Etonnement c'est sûrement le coaster le mieux thématisé du parc. Ce c'est clairement pas un incontournable mais si vous avez le temps il vaut quand même le détour.

It’s a wild mouse, it’s like all the others. Little pops of airtime, jerky turns, and not much intensity for those beyond small kids. The theming inside the building is really good for Six Flags standards but the pre-show has been shut off. If there isn’t a line, maybe hop on to see the unique experience of a wild mouse in the dark and heavily themed, otherwise skip.

This is one of the most heavily themed six flags roller coasters ive ridden. while its no where near the theming of a universal or Disney coaster, its pretty good. the theming in the station and on the cars are cool and there is even a well done pre show. the cars are by far the bost comfortable of any wild mouse which surprised me considering some of the bad experiences i've had. the theming throughout is pretty good but at the end you hit the brake run and roll back twards the station. Right before you reach the station and leave the darkness, a loud horn blares and the lights of a prop subway car flash on. if you're not expecting it, it will catch you off guard.

It's my favorite wild mouse, although that isn't really saying much. It's indoors and very dark in there unlike the other Great Adventure indoor coaster, but it's a wild mouse and barely does anything...

It's my favorite wild mouse, although that isn't really saying much. It's indoors and very dark in there unlike the other Great Adventure indoor coaster, but it's a wild mouse and barely does anything aside from decent-for-Six Flags theming

When The Chiller got removed, everyone was sad, myself included. Six Flags Great Adventure then announced The Dark Knight for its next season. I thought it would be a badass ride, looking at the trailers for the movie, but boy, was I wrong. I got there on its grand opening, and while I was enthralled with the movie in the queue (Aaron Eckhart <3), I realized the ride itself was just a cheap ass Crazy Mouse. At least the theming was good for roleplaying (my buds and I would just get together and go nuts), but then they started REMOVING the theming. It's still fun, though. That's what keeps me from hating it.

It’s already my least favorite wild mouse because it pulls zero force, even the hairpin turns give no laterals. However they had to make the ride way worse than it already was by adding that stupid horn. That thing might be the most annoying sound I have ever heard in my life. I put discomfort as a con not because the ride itself hurts, in fact the one good thing about the coaster is that it’s butter smooth and it doesn’t have any bad transitions, but because the horn is actually painful. My ears wanted to explode every time that darn thing went off. It’s the only coaster I’ve ridden where the theming made the ride worse.

Un coaster Six Flags assez bien thématisé, c'est rare donc à noter. Le préshow est un bon concept mais l'utilité est bizarre pour une simple Wild Mouse Mack surtout qu'à 20 mètres il y a un inverted B&M sur le même thème qui lui n'en comporte pas mais bon. L'intérieur du coaster est dans le noir avec quelques éléments de théma par ci par là. Mais pour le layout cela reste une wild mouse donc pas dénué de sensation mais tout de même drôle à rider. Mention spéciale pour le camion sur les freins finaux qui vous surprendra toujours avec son fort klaxon et ses phares.

Probably my favorite wild mouse to date because of the great theming. The pres-show is pretty decorated and the ride itself has a-lot to look at. The layout itself is identical to all of the wild mouse rides but with a twist in the theming. The trains also look great and its definitely a coaster you have to do with the whole family when you visit Great Adventure.

This ride is sort of a meme. The pre-show gets you hyped up for a well-themed, immersive ride, but it turns out just to be an enclosed wild mouse with some painted plywood cutouts. If you know that it...

This ride is sort of a meme. The pre-show gets you hyped up for a well-themed, immersive ride, but it turns out just to be an enclosed wild mouse with some painted plywood cutouts. If you know that it is a wild mouse coming in, then you might enjoy it more because this is better than other wild mice in the sense that its in the dark and it has (some) theming. But by objective measures, the theming is pretty garbage. This doesn't really help their lineup that much, because they already had an indoor family ride.

Probably one of the most underrated indoor coasters, this is because Six Flags doesn't have a good budget to add any impressive themeing. I don't care because I prefer a good ride over good themeing. ...

Probably one of the most underrated indoor coasters, this is because Six Flags doesn't have a good budget to add any impressive themeing. I don't care because I prefer a good ride over good themeing. The preshow itself is really fun, but the ride is a typical Wild Mouse layout. This Wild Mouse really doesn't hold to HersheyPark's Wild Mouse, but it's fun either way. The lift hill launches right off, then slowed down... then shoots off again, then the turn afterwards was sloped which got me off-guard. The turns were fun but the drops were a little bumpy. Try it out if you can.

Supremely boring Wild Mouse that almost seems like it's trying due to the pre-show and theming, but ends up just being a low-effort joke on the actual ride itself where very few elements of the theming come through at all. It's literally just another Wild Mouse, but inside of an almost dark room that plays gunshot and train noises.
