Batman: The Ride is a steel inverted roller coaster found in many Six Flags theme parks, as well as other parks around the world, including Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Over Georgia, Six Flags St. Louis, and Six Flags Over Texas. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, it features a height of roughly 109 feet (33 m) and reaches speeds of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h). The original coaster in Six Flags Great America was the first inverted roller coaster in the world when it opened in 1992 and has since been awarded Coaster Landmark status by the American Coaster Enthusiasts.
Goliath at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is the former Batman: The Ride from Six Flags New Orleans, which closed when Hurricane Katrina devastated the park in 2005. Prior to operating in New Orleans, it was Gambit at Thrill Valley in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word ride:
“Truth is the silliest thing under the sun. Try to get a living by the Truth—and go to the Soup Societies. Heavens! Let any clergyman try to preach the Truth from its very stronghold, the pulpit, and they would ride him out of his church on his own pulpit bannister.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
