At the beginning of the queue, guests first pass underneath the entrance sign and choose either the regular line on the left or The Flash Pass line on the right. The queue starts with an outdoor area. This area has a large switchback section with shaded portions. There is an extended queue area at the back that winds through a curved switchback section around a flagpole. After the lightly themed queue 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. 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.
Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum at Six Flags New England was originally supposed to be The Dark Knight Coaster, but building restrictions and delays made it impossible to do so. The concept was changed entirely, and two years after its planned opening, the ride was finally opened in 2011.
