Queue[]

At the beginning of the queue, guests first pass underneath the entrance sign and head straight into the building, themed to the Gotham City Rail terminal. Unlike the other two locations, this version has a fully indoor queue. The first area is a switchback section with extended queue paths and numerous signs. In the next room, guests go through a large switchback portion featuring more signs. There are also several televisions that guests can watch while waiting in line. After this area, guests enter a preshow room where they view a TV broadcast of a press conference hosted by Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). One of the reporters asks about the Joker cards found at recent crime scenes, and another asks if Batman should be incarcenated (to which Harvey jokes he should get locked up if he keeps stealing his press.) Almost immediately, The Joker himself hijacks the TV broadcast and his messages (such as "HA HA!") appear all over the walls of the room. Guests then enter the secondary queue area, which features a TV screen in which guests can see themselves. The two guests closest to the camera have joker masks digitally superimposed over their faces.

Ride[]

At the loading station, the cars normally move through continuously. Guests unload at the rear of the platform, after which guests from the queue immediately load. Unlike almost all the other coasters in the park, there are no gates on the loading platform. The lap bars are locked and checked as the car approaches the front of the platform, then it proceeds onto the lift. The ride itself consists of several sharp hairpin turns and sudden drops, accented by various eerily lit Gotham City buildings placed alongside the track. The ride layout is a standard Wild Mouse roller coaster layout.

Differences[]

The Six Flags Great America version has a fully indoor queue, something the Great Adventure and Mexico versions don't; whereas the Mexico version painted the outside of the building.
