Ride Guide

    You start by going up a 125 ft. hill. Then you stop and reverse. You go down the hill, through the station and into a boomerang. Then you go into a vertical loop and up another hill. You go down backwards and into the same vertical loop and boomerang and into the station. The Bat is a short, but thrilling and fun ride.

8/10

Other Information


The Bat's train was the thrid train of Dragon Fire that was taken out of storage and put into use on The Bat when it debuted at Wonderland in 1987.
Colours: The track is red, the supports are black, and the trains are red.
Best Seats: Sit in the back seats for the most feeling when going backwards through the loops.
Queue Line Wait Time: There is normally a 45 minute wait for this ride because it is very popular and because since this ride only has one train, which goes forward and then backward, loading takes a long time.

     Built in 1987, The Bat is a classic old Vekoma boomerang coaster. It's a short fun coaster that packs double the thrills by going through the ride forwards and in reverse.
