when I got off this ride I said "now I know why they call it the batwing" as I stretched my legs apart. the guy working the ride laughed so hard.

[@renafarouk]

I don't get it...

roller_coaster_repost_ true

[@mi1c35x]

I agree. Although Superman may be a hyper and the tallest coaster in the park, it's not very intense and it's kind of overrated. Plus it's a clone so it's not anything special.

[@catluvr8557]

And I rode fucking all of them 😭

[@Lucky_9705]

This is a really cool and unique coaster model. It is starting to show its age, but I hope the Vekoma Flying Dutchman stays open in the years to come.

[@cowgirl1504]

When the ride was over all I could hear was him gasping for air.

[@griffinerb6213]

It would be cool if the car thing was actually shaped like the Batwing and u sat where BM sits but there would need to be more room that would be awesome

[@Coastincolt]

Griffin Erb I always say that when the Vekoma engineers saw the B&M Flying Coaster, they wanted to kick themselves! Probably did, too!

[@RangoAnimations]

us marylanders gotta treasure this coaster. its the last of the two vekoma flying dutchman coasters

[@jo9578]

This is my favorite ride out of all the others. I just wish they keep open through out the season. It's a awesome ride, it brakes down a lot but still have some life in it. I usually ride 2 or 3 times depending on how the line is. I go to Six Flags all the time when I'm off work and I work my way to the BATWING. I'm always press to ride it. You get a flying experience and it's not that scary or dangerous to me. It's a joy of a lifetime. You probably won't see a ride in another park besides Firehawk

[@rmannayr2129]

THIS IS A CRAZY RIDE!

[@kimiisland9802]

I really loved this ride! I usually dont like Vekoma, but this coaster is good, the Looping is the best moment! Its so freaking cool!

[@graciefaulkner1046]

I rode this ride yesterday it was so fun

[@kimiisland9802]

Best Vekoma-Looping Ride ever! I was really surprised by this coaster, its actually smooth and has really good g-Forces during that looping!

[@lucyfarraher3199]

my friends made me go on this without telling me we would be laying down or flipped upsidedown mind you im so scared of hights tht i have a panic attack and start crying if i look out the window of the third floor of my school so after the ride i cried for like 10 minutes and couldnt walk well at all i think at one point i just collapsed on the ground i mean i was a mess... i no longer trust these friends

[@dfw_jianna-_-6745]

Lucy Farraher Jesus! WOW

[@getjinxed96]

Lucy Farraher I get panic attacks too, and im sorry that you had to go through that, but you should have seen it was coming, it isnt hidden, you can clearly see what the ride contains, overall if you get panic attacks by stuff like that you shouldnt even go to six flags, because almost all the rides are extreme.

[@geethanks6313]

Ohhhhhh goddd

[@KeltoiMagus]

Lucy Farraher try Xanax.

[@kimiisland9802]

How can you not know that? Dont you look at a ride at all? Nobody has to tell you that...you can clearly see it!

[@ricasa2005]

“I dont wanna do this”

[@joshiboi670]

When the car was moving I was saying “I’m gonna regret this”

Mood.

[@lia5958]

This ride is so much fun

[@ItsDanGlock]

no its not, but when i went, i kinda felt like i was about to fall out of my harness.. well my feet rather. but its a great ride.

[@ItsMe-vd4qi]

Danielle Williams Me too!! I was holding onto the bar with the top of my feet. I thought I was gonna slide out, No one ever checked my restraint either because I was sitting in the middle

[@ashleyfoster5397]

this ride was very fun I have been on that ride before

[@tuninginwithtamm3356]

Ashley Foster Do y’all drop backwards?

[@aniyahporter7177]

tuninginwithtamm yeah it drops backwards then it flips around ( scariest shit ever )

[@cherryblossom9146]

This was the first roller coaster I went on that goes upside-down. It was so much fun! :D

[@John_nguyyen]

this ride was amazing

[@Phaota]

Great job keeping the camera view in an angle to see the track considering how you were positioned. Looks like an enjoyable coaster.

[@dianastandefer3172]

If I went to Six Flags America and ride this thing, I'd like to stretch my arms out like Superman.

[@TonyFilms335]

It’s like the Superman flight coaster or Manta coaster type except it flips you back instead of forward, and it’s a different coaster type.

[@itziebitz]

You feel like you are flying through the air on this ride.

[@rollercoastingmad917]

itziebitz that’s the point of a flying coaster

[@John_nguyyen]

its also the most intense ride ive been on

[@John_nguyyen]

no 2nd most intense

[@mwwjsnjeok6434]

Nope

[@ladybmisty]

This ride is definitely right down my alley next to Joker Jinxs

[@steamedturtle]

I remember back in the day I always took a lot of heat among coaster enthusiasts that Batwing was better than Superman: Ultimate Flight. I do wish it ran more efficiently, but I think the ride is more fun and intense.

[@girlyouareadiva3181]

This ride is my favorite

[@jahnayawashington7919]

That view when you first drop is beautifulll at sunset

[@brockburgi994]

Finally, a vekoma lift that is not silent :)

[@DanielBlaney]

They should use the wheel assemblies from this ride on their SLC's. This one rides butter smooth. No rattle at all.

[@pjwilliams3406]

Lol 0:13 "I don't want to do this."

[@christosiegel6815]

Dude, only some. Smiler, Stealth, Alton Towers, and Thorpe have some of the best rides on the planet! I'm Welsh, and I'm going to Oakwood next summer, even though I'm from America.

[@tythebratt1605]

I hate rides but i rode this the first time today. It was awesome

[@jocelynchoo7980]

its so funny im normally scared of rollercoasters whenever they drop forward sitting down, but if it goes sideways or upside down im fine. If im on my stomach (BATWING YASSSSSSSSS) i feel great and its just like sledding. For me batwing is the easiest ride lol

[@galaxynova2196]

Jocelyn Choo because it doesn't drop..

[@faceache21]

Probably because your laying down on your back and your used to rolling over, unlike while your standing up or sitting down you know

[@tinasabatino5605]

Manta is my ALL TIME FAV coster

[@modge472]

i LOOOOVEEE this ride, man i would totally ride it again and again

[@Powermetaldaddy1974]

My daughter and her friend got stuck on this ride today at Six Flags near DC...spent 10 minutes stuck horizontal and had to climb down.

[@jackiessisfun2507]

Powermetaldaddy1974 Woowww, is she fine now? Both are fine now? Climb down from up high or down low?

[@Powermetaldaddy1974]

Michelle Leon they had to climb down from the highest section. She was pretty shook up but she is fine now. This particular park has had a number of issues through the years. The worst I think would be when stupid high school kids made a human chain down the water slide which caused it to collapse. That happened in 1999, days after I returned home from my separation in the Air Force.

[@RangoAnimations]

The only good coasters at Six Flags America here Batwing, Apocalypse, Wild One, Joker's Jinx and Mind Eraser

[@jaredsheinberg]

RangoAnimations HAHAHAHAAHAHAGAHAH. Mind Eraser... good...

[@neatbacon4194]

What? Apocalypse is lame.

[@akanizadienia1914]

NeatBacon Agreed

[@iiemerald3530]

Tf apocalypse that stuff hurts I rather ride superman upside down. And what about the roar? Superman? U must not have rode any.

[@nightmareajbusheysomeonesy7499]

If the Mind Eraser at Darien Lake is something to base it off, SFA's should be epic

[@yeet6906]

It’s sad it closed down. I loved it so much...

[@Hieagandaus]

Who won best coaster for one of the last five years?

[@kevinthompson6986]

I really love these first Vekoma flying Dutchman’s not nighthawk though

[@ryancurley2351]

Kevin Thompson Firehawk at Kong’s Island closed so this is the only one left except for Nighthawk

[@kaitlynmarie1985]

I am scared of roller coasters but this looks fun cuz it looks like you're really flying

[@bigshid6398]

This is actually FireHawk from Kings Island. Jeezus.

[@bennickss]

a question for those who have ridden it: is it relaxing like b&m flying coasters?

[@chivozeper1811]

That shit looks wicked

[@jeffjennings5320]

Man I love this ride

[@squidparty2000]

Of all the times I've been to Baltimore, I've never been to Six Flags America, Hershey Park, or Kings Dominion. What am I doing?

[@zunkman]

Isn't this the EXACT coaster that was at Geauga Lake? I mean, isn't this the physically same coaster that was moved from Geauga Lake?

[@CoolGymnast10]

What is your favorite coaster,coaster force

[@MeowlerStudios]

me before the ride: Wooohooo! I totally wanna be batman! Flying looks so fun!!!! me after the ride: fuck you, Batman. I'm never going on this ever again -_-

[@pjwilliams3406]

R.I.P to its sister coaster Firehawk.

[@yoovikk]

As a 13 year old with no phobia’s of heights, drops or what not. I gotta say, this roller coaster is the best at six flags!

How do you record these

[@coasterforce]

Nasty Snipes With a HD camcorder.

[@Dsneedy]

Do you hold it in your hand

[@coasterforce]

Nasty Snipes EastCoasterGeneral, who films most of our videos, held it in his hand and kept it securely fastened to his wrist with a locking strap.

[@Dsneedy]

O

[@mariselaelvir4001]

Like Superman: Krypton Coaster, is there a Flying Dutchman that is better than the others? Also, have you gotten a chance to film Mindbender at West Edmonton Mall?

[@KGNiquette01]

@ CoasterForce I've been on numerous Vekomas, although never a Flying Dutchman, and they have all been very rough. Everyone knows Vekomas are rough, it's just inherent to their design I guess. After watching your video, it seems like these Flying Dutchmans aren't quite as bad. Is that true??

[@leannekirksey]

Hey coasterforce what would you recommend for a 12 year old here

[@RangoAnimations]

guess which is scarier X2 sfmm or Batwing sfa

[@chrisubl]

X2 BY A MILE !!!!

[@Craylor]

Do you use GoPro?

[@TonyFilms335]

Isn’t this part Superman ultimate or part manta because your on your stomach

[@potato._.madness6788]

I’m not riding this until Ik that they have bar things over my shoulders (We stopped getting season passes so next time I actually get to go bc in a baby)

[@NicoleHall827]

It’s like a reverse version of Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain

[@mikediloreto5965]

Do you have plans to go? Also, have you had a chance to film the Hades 360 construction?

[@zyvenitwins]

its really fun got on it yesterday

[@jg-7780]

How does this compare to b&m superman: uf clones?

[@aaranflint8299]

It’s the same as Galatica at Alton Towers in the Uk
