So yesterday I headed over to Six Flags Great Adventure to check out the recently released Dark Knight ride. I really loved the Batman coaster and the Batman and Robin Chiller so I had high hopes for the Dark Knight.
After waiting on line for about 25 minutes (really not that bad considering that when I got off the ride the wait had gone up to 90 minutes!) I made it to the doors that lead inside to some big room where they show you a video. That’s the new big thing with rides, the room before you actually get on it so they can show you some kind of vid. So while waiting to be let inside I began chatting up one of the workers there, I asked him what happened to the Chiller because I no longer saw it on the map.
The dude then told me that it was replaced with the Dark Knight ride and then went on to angrily tell me that the Chiller was so much better…. what a great thing to hear after waiting in line for a ride right?
I was able to take vids of what was shown in the room and of the ride. This first video is actually pretty awesome and seeing it gave me hope again after that worker basically said this ride would suck.
Pretty cool right? Well after that came the ride and well… just take a look:
I have to make a note here that the reason I said ‘Woah’ was because I looked down and my glasses fell off, the ride was pretty slow moving it mostly just kind of rattled a little. Also if the video appeared dark with nothing really to see that is because that was how the ride was.
This ride was terribly boring with nothing but a few ‘Ha ha ha’s’ on a wall and a building, you don’t see Batman or the Joker or anything else really.
I will most likely never ride this again.
The Mummy is the shitttttt
