They opened in 2008 and 2009, timed closely to the theatrical release of The Dark Knight.[1][2] The roller coasters are manufactured by Mack Rides. HistorySix Flags Great AdventureTo aid in the construction of The Dark Knight, both The Chiller[3] and Movietown Water Effect were removed. The roller coaster primarily occupies the previous location of the Movietown Water Effect, with the queue area placed in front of the building.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} Original plans called for the demolition of the Batman & Robin: The Chiller station and observatory but were later excluded from demolition plans.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} The exit was originally slated to go through the present Justice League gift shop adjacent to the ride, but this turned out not to be the case.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} On May 15, 2008, The Dark Knight officially opened to the public.[4] Six Flags Great AmericaIn preparation for The Dark Knight, the Theater Royale building was extensively modified and themed as a Gotham City Rail terminal.[5] It officially opened on May 21, 2008.[6] Six Flags New England and Six Flags MéxicoIn February 2008, construction on the ride had started at Six Flags New England before all of the necessary construction permits were in order, leading building inspector Dominic Urbinati to issue a stop-work order. Without the proper construction documents, according to Urbinati, there was no way he could ensure the project met state building and safety codes. In March, the park was still faced with having to seek a new set of permits after several changes were made to the plans previously approved by city boards. Park management still hoped to open The Dark Knight Coaster by Memorial Day weekend, but still faced hurdles from the town of Agawam due to changes in design from the original plans. The Planning Board and the Conservation Commission later approved the proposed changes, such as a {{convert|10|ft|m|adj=on}} shift in the building's footprint to meet state fire safety codes, but the plans were rejected by the Zoning Board, which had previously granted a special permit for changes in height to the original plans. References to the ride were later removed from the Six Flags New England website. In April 2008, it was announced that construction on The Dark Knight Coaster had been cancelled, and that the coaster itself would be sent to another park in the future.[7] The coaster was removed from the park and was sent to Six Flags México for the 2009 season.[8][9] It has been operating at that location since March 19, 2009.[9] Escape from Arkham Asylum took over the area at Six Flags New England in 2011.[10] ThemeThe Dark Knight Coaster is inspired by the 2008 film The Dark Knight. Costing $7.5 million, the ride is an indoor Wild Mouse coaster that puts guests through the premise of being stalked by the Joker. It is considered a family ride rather than a thrill ride. SummaryPre-showAfter an outdoor, lightly themed queue area, riders enter a pre-show 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. RideAt 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. Lapbars 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. See also
