Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum is a steel wild mouse roller coaster in DC Super Hero Adventures at Six Flags New England. It opened on April 16, 2011.
The ride is themed after the Gotham City Transit, and you board a train-themed after a DC supervillain as you attempt to escape from Arkham Asylum.
History[]
In May 2000, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom opened a new Looney Tunes themed wild mouse roller coaster, Road Runner Express. It opened on the former site of The Vampire, which was also relocated to Six Flags New England as Flashback. The ride operated as the Road Runner Express until the end of the 2009 season when Six Flags rejected the park's lease after a dispute with the Kentucky State Fair Board and closed the park. As part of Six Flags' settlement with the Kentucky State Fair Board, Road Runner Express was removed from the Kentucky Kingdom site and relocated to Six Flags New England.
With a total refurbishment and a new theme, the coaster opened on April 16, 2011, as Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum, built on a site that formerly housed the Batman Stunt Show arena and had been previously prepared for the canceled Dark Knight indoor wild mouse roller coaster. The Gauntlet is generally a mirror image of the layout of the Dark Knight coaster that initially was intended to be installed on that same site.
