The Bat - Kings Island - 4K POV 2016 Front Row - Mason, Ohio

The Bat, formerly called Flight Deck and Top Gun, is a suspended roller coaster at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Built by Arrow Dynamics, the ride was known as Top Gun when it opened in 1993. It is the park's second suspended coaster following an earlier prototype from Arrow Development - also called The Bat - that operated at Kings Island from 1981 to 1983. The layout is designed to give riders the illusion they are narrowly missing track supports and other elements while swinging through sharp turns.

Nice pov! The Bat is an incredible suspended coaster

Agree. It reminds me so much of the old Big Bad Wolf @ Busch Gardens Williamsburg. But sadly, that roller coaster closed down 10 years ago.

The Original Bat, the world's first suspended coaster, did. This ride used to be called Flight Deck, and it was recently renamed and rethemed as a tribute to the original Bat.
