This article needs to be wikified.

There are seven [inverted coaster|inverted] [steel] [roller coaster]s with this name, all in [North America]. The six in the United States are manufactured by [Bolliger & Mabillard], the last is in Mexico and is a [Vekoma] ride.

Two of the B&M coasters are [identical], one at [Six Flags Great Adventure] and the other at [Six Flags St. Louis]. The former opened in late March of 1993, and the latter in late April of 1995. Each of these is 2,693 feet long and 105 feet high, they feature five [inversion]s and take two minutes to complete the ride. They can pull up to four [G]s, and with two eight-car trains each holding 32 people they have an estimated [capacity] of 1,280 riders per hour. The Great Adventure ride is entirely black except for the top [rail]s of the main [track], which are yellow, as are the [restraint]s. On the St. Louis ride, all of the steel is black and only the [over the shoulder restraint|OTSR]s are yellow. <P> Four other B&M coasters are also identical. One opened at [Six Flags Great America] in 1992, another at [Six Flags] [Magic Mountain] in 1994, a third at [Six Flags Over Georgia] in 1997 and the last at [Six Flags Over Texas] in 1999. All are 2,700 feet long and 100 feet high, with five inversions, including a [heartline flip]. These also have two eight-car 32-rider trains, and they reach up to 50[miles per hour|mph] and take two minutes to ride. These also pull four Gs and have an hourly capacity of 1,400 [rider]s. The Magic Mountain and Georgia rides have black track and supports with yellow OTSRs, and at Great America even the restraints are black. <P> The last "[Batman] the Ride" is at [Six Flags Mexico] and opened in April of 2000. A cookie-cutter [Suspended Looping Coaster] built by [Vekoma], it is 2,172 feet long and 102 feet high with five inversions. The single train can go up to 55mph. The main track is yellow, and the supports are either purple or black. <P> Source: http://www.rcdb.com/
