Inversions Pace Capacity Discomfort
Not the worst boomerang I’ve been on, but still pretty low on the overall coasters ridden list.

Line is way too long for a mediocre ride.

It’s your standard Vekoma boomerang so that means lots of dizziness and head trauma.

First Drop Inversions Intensity Headbanging Discomfort
It looks pretty intimidating on the outside and the whole "sudden drop" aspect of it can be pretty nerve racking for some, but its very fun!!! The loops going forward where smooth and didn't feel uncomfortable at all! Now however going backwards- that's when it hurt. because holy HELL that thing HURT when going backwards. its similar to the feeling on dragon fyre. But yeah other than the sudden headbang and hard chest bang it was fun! would definitely do again :3 and yes I recommend it!!

Inversions Fun Hangtime Discomfort
Short ride, low capacity, a bit rough on the reverse part, but you definitely get some cool disorientation and hangtime. Worth riding.

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity Capacity
The bat is a great vekoma boomerang surprisingly smooth it may not be for everyone but for me it's a great coaster especially since you get to experience going through inversions backwards

Inversions Intensity Capacity
My first intense coaster. Originally didn't like it, but I rerode it in late August of 2023 and didn't mind it at all. The Bat honestly feels like a more forceful version of Dragon Fyre. You may gray out or feel lightheaded when going through the cobra roll or vertical loop. Would recommend sitting in the middle or closer to the front of the train for a smoother experience

Fun Discomfort
this is a basic ride with the fun that goes backwards but it could be uncomfortable - very - if you dont relax might give you neck pain -
-
Smoothness Too short Disappointing!
Overrated and not worth the line. Don't recommend.

Pace Layout Discomfort Tear it down! Intensity
One word. OW. I don't understand how whis ride is still up. Going forward, it's not bad. It's fairly fun aside from the loop. But then you go backwards, and are treated to the world's most painful torture device. If there was ever a machine built for the express purpose of giving the worst pain a human could take, it would be The Bat. I am a smaller person but I can take a decent beating when it comes to rides. I rode Spine buster three times in a row as a kid, and I can walk around and ride intense rides while already having a headache. Well, The Bat took me out. My friends and I had to go to Planet Snoopy in hopes of riding the relaxing swan boat ride, until we realised we had to go on with a child, so we just sat in the shade for a good ten minutes before moving to the Lazy Bear Lodge for a quieter place to regain our strength. I don't understand why I don't hear more people talking about how painful The Bat is. I would've rated half a star if it wasn't for the initial forward run-through and the way the coaster starts. It's cool and fun how it gets pulled backwards before letting gravity take it through, but the backwards section took me out. I'm still feeling it six hours later.

Typical boomerang flaws. Rode this once and was happy.

Location Comfort Rattle Harness
My first ride was horrible.Headbanging.My last 2 rides was okay but there is a horrible rattle.Not the worst ride.
-
Fun Smoothness Too short
thisbwas pretty damn fun, definitely not worth if the line is long but if the wait is only 10-15minutes this is very worth it

Rattle Headbanging Discomfort
Vekoma Boomerangs have to be one of the worst all around coaster models out there. How did these rides become such big sellers? They're capacity is very low and just about all of them find a way to inflict pain on the rider. Bat at Canada's Wonderland has a lot of headbanging in the backwards part of the ride as well as a little bit in the forwards part. Don't bother with this ride during your visit to Canada's Wonderland.

Fun Capacity Dead spots
My first boomerang, and I was honestly pretty surprised at how not awful it was. It wasn't nearly as rough as I was expecting, but instead kinda bland when going through the layout on the forwards part. However the ride becomes decently fun when you go through the course again in reverse. Traversing the vertical loop in reverse reminded me of the Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops like Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's, just a fair bit less intense. Decently fun, but definitely not a mandatory ride at the park if you visit. By nature of their shuttle coaster design, capacity can be an issue on these models on really busy days; just keep an eye on the line and maybe catch a ride on it if it's not busy, skip if it is.
