BATWING POV - Six Flags America Roller Coaster

Batwing is a lay-down/ flying roller coaster located at Six Flags America, Maryland, USA. 4K POV, 60fps, Front Row on-ride. This great creation made by Vekoma is able to have riders laying on their back, or riding on their stomaches. It's one of the few rides where riders can take inversions on either side because of the position. The attraction is located in the back corner of the park, and is a clone known as the "Flying Dutchman." A model used to be found at Kings Island, "Firehawk," in Mason Ohio, but it was removed in 2018. #RollerCoaster #SixFlags #ThemePark
Carowinds also has a similar model, without a helix at the end. The Six Flags America model is considered to be the best of the remaining Vekoma Flyers, with a widely regarded smoother ride and better experience than its counterpart.

This ride is actually a lot of fun…when it’s operating. I spent nearly all my teenage summer days at either Six Flags America or Kings Dominion. But most of the time I was at six flags, there was no reason to walk all the way to the back of the park past the Jokers Jinx and Superman ride of steel for the Batwing because it was out of service every other visit. Lol

[@bettyesboy]

Right lol I went two weekends ago and when I overheard someone say “Batwing is open” we made a beeline to the back of the park. Haven’t ride it since 2004, never operating or down for maintenance. Underrated and most intense/scariest ride in the park imo

It's like the opposite to the rollercoaster Galactica in the UK (Alton towers) it leans you forward so you're facing the ground and feels like you're flying. It used to have VR but they got rid of it because it took too much time to clean the VR headsets between rides, but it's an amazing rollercoaster without the VR.
