This thing is wildly intense, all the inversions and forceful helices, and the whip on that zero-g roll, as is tradition with old school B&M was absolutely fantastic! There's a reason they cloned this layout so much!

A train got stuck at the top of the lift somehow which took a while for the ops to deal with, but other than that it was a solid ride. It is probably the most intense invert that I’ve been on so far and has decent theming for six flags.

Un inverted B&M comme on l’aime ! Par contre, c’est nerveux au possible. C’est vraiment très intense contrairement à un OzIris ou la sensation de vol est beaucoup plus agréable et douce. L’helix final est très très très (trop) nerveux. J’ai en revanche adoré le coaster. Parlons de nouveau du débit catastrophique, c’est nul !! 10 minutes pour dispatch un train.. C’est infernal !

OG review: HEADBANGING: THE RIDE. It was BAD!!! The headbanging was mainly on the inline twists but WOW was it PAINFUL!!! After riding this and Scream, I can understand why the newer B&M’s have the vests. These older OTSR are HOT GARBAGE!! Just imagine sticking your head between some jail bars on a door and then someone slamming that door into a wall! Plus some of the transitions also delivered headbanging! I never would have imagined it to be this bad. The queue had more theming than I would have expected but thank goodness there wasn’t a line. The queue is an absolute sauna! Other than that it was fairly intense. UPDATE: It was just a teeny bit better the second time. I still don’t like it though. I rode towards the back and kept my head against the seat this time. I was able to somewhat enjoy the layout more. Unfortunately, I also got motion sick. This is the first coaster to EVER make me motion sick and it’s because of how claustrophobic these trains are. Unless you’re in the front, there’s no view. I’ll have to try the front next time but I would much rather ride something else.

One of the most cloned layouts for a reason. This tiny invert packs a hard punch! Placed in a park filled with behemoths, this coaster seems to be forgotten, but its still one of the most intense coasters in the park. The corkscrews are ridiculously snappy and the two vertical loops are wayyy to intense, in a good way. Not to even mention that crazy zero g roll! However, it does a have a rattle like a lot of other B&Ms and is a bit short, so I can give it higher than a 3.5. A great invert for what it is, and a definite must ride every visit.

One of the most notoriously cloned layouts of all time is the Batman The Ride clone. The layout was the first that company B&M would ever design for an inverted coaster, and the great intensity per small acreage would prove to be wildly successful. Following the installation at Six Flags Great America, 11 more rides with the exact same layout would be constructed. The third version of such is the version at Six Flags Magic Mountain. As with any attraction featuring this layout, this ride is incredibly fast-paced and intense considering its small stats. It's small in height, short in length, and doesn't gain that much speed. However, the amount of whip that the inversions carry and the amount of positive G-forces that are exerted onto riders is deranged. With that being said, I did find this particular attraction overrated. Maybe I caught it on a bad day but it didn't blow me away like certain other clones did. As I mentioned, the intensity of the ride is astounding, but not as astounding as certain other clones I've ridden. For that reason, I don't rank this ride as high as some.

Le tout premier coaster inversé de chez B&M est vraiment génial. Des inversions intense et un layout vraiment interessant. La gere est en interieur donc il fait vraiment chau dedans. B&M ont créé a la suite de cet attraction un modèle classic des mondes des parcs d'attraction qui a inspirer oziris que je n'ai pas encore pu rider. A ne pas manquer.

This older B&M was such a fun thrill to ride and very smooth at 29 years old. The theming was also great around it. I think the amazing thing to me was how like an RMC layout this ride has with lots of less forceful but fun and crazy intense inversions and twists. You look at the track and think it will give you a headache and then it just delivers a smooth fun ride. I wish more B&Ms were this good.

Very intense ride, probably 2nd most intense B&M inverted (Flight Deck). However, the layout is literally a copy of 50 other rides in the world, the harness is way too tight, and overall it's just not...

Very intense ride, probably 2nd most intense B&M inverted (Flight Deck). However, the layout is literally a copy of 50 other rides in the world, the harness is way too tight, and overall it's just not a comfortable experience. It tries to get intense in the second half, but really it just ends up being really loud and painful. It's hard to enjoy this, especially when it's just a copy of 100 other rides. Flight Deck at CGA does a much better job with this, and makes a cloned layout creative.

je m'attendais a ne pas spécialement aimer car j'avais peur qu'il soit trop intense, notamment dans les corkscrew mais enfait c'est les meilleurs corkscrew que j'ai fait tout coaster confondu, c'est intense mais génial et bien qu'il y ait peu de thema, le layout joue un peu avec le terrain j'ai adoré, meilleur qu'oziris et black mamba

I've ridden the Six Flags St. Louis mirror layout a couple of times and the Six Flags Great America version maybe 4 or 5 times and out of the three this one was the worst one. Not that this ride is bad, it's actually quite fun and there is a reason there are so many clones throughout the US and the world because the entire experience was well-designed in the '90s. The reason it's the worst is that I couldn't believe how bad the rattle was compared to other versions. It is still a really solid ride with tons of inversions, the intensity is way up there, and to have 4 people per row you can really get the queue moving quickly due to high capacity. Unfortunately, the ops were a little slow when I went and maybe it needed an extra train that day because the wait was still roughly an hour. It wasn't worth that long of a wait when I have the same version with hardly any rattle at my home park. 4/5 stars

This ride was nice but didn't leave much of an impact. Honestly, I was just on it yesterday and I'm struggling to remember much about it. Granted, it was 103 degrees so maybe my brain was just fried by the point that I was on it. I'll likely write more about it when I ride it next, but I'm glad to see this ride reopen now that Wonder Woman is complete!

The off-the-shelf Batman coaster that you see at most Six Flags parks. It’s a fun ride, it really has some great moments. It’s fast paced and intense, and I grey out on it depending on where I’m sitting. Either way, it’s an enjoyable experience. I really don’t think the head banging is all that bad, the worst part is probably just the generic layout.

I don’t know why, but this invert just didn’t do much. I rode it 2 years ago and I really enjoyed it. I rode it yesterday and it was just ok. It was a short ride with decent intensity, but I just felt...

I don’t know why, but this invert just didn’t do much. I rode it 2 years ago and I really enjoyed it. I rode it yesterday and it was just ok. It was a short ride with decent intensity, but I just felt like it didn’t do anything special.

Intense invert with rapid fire pacing. The final two corkscrews are so intense that I always get off the ride feeling dizzy, but in a good way! I’ve heard friends complain of a rattle, but especially with the new paint job I find it to be very smooth, even after nearly 30 years of run.

Un batman standard, la peinture au moins était entretue. Sinon c'est toujours appréciable, c'est intense comme il faut. Par contre il souffre clairement de sa situation au sein d'un si gros parc, la concurrence l'écrase un peu.

Ride ops where getting slower and slower as the park got busier and I sadly sat on an inside seat row 3. Still very intense with its fast paced inversions that left me with all the blood in my legs! I was much younger when I rode Batman over Georgia so it’s hard for me to compare the two now but this was a solid mini B&M invert 4/5 One of the better themed lines and ride here

I love inverts and this is the only batman clone I've ridden, so maybe when I ride more I'll appreciate it less. Anyway, it's extremely intense and every inversion and turn is pretty amazing, along with it being butter smooth.

Honestly, on certain days I consider this to be the most intense ride at Magic Mountain. The first half isn't so bad, but once you get to the corkscrews, the intensity turns up to 11. Personally, I don't like the intensity on this ride because it can be so much that it is very painful for my legs. It still has its fans and is a fine supporting coaster.
