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.

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

Add Busch Gardens Tampa to the list. I’ve been riding coasters since I was 7 and Falcon’s Fury is the only one that made me legit freak out.
I was extremly surprised when I rode this coaster. Its very good and completely underrated. That Looping, that you are riding in a laying backwards position is amazing! It gives you a real thrill. Its similar to a Prezel-Loop, but still different. It was my favourite coaster in the park and it has its secure place in my Top 15 coasters for sure!

It's crazy to see how some of the wheels alternate between spinning and not spinning, depending on whether or not they come in contact with the rail throughout the ride.

This reminds me of an old coaster they use to have at six flags world of adventure in geauga lake ohio. That was built in early 2000s. Was originally at Geauga lake park called The X-flight! Same lay out n everything was a awesome ride!!
1:41 that man said “weee” 😂
I cried on this ride lol. My brother has a recording of me praying.
Rode this coaster a million times when it first opened. Jeez that was like least 20 years ago. Wow
If those wheels snapped..........that’s a Final Destination 3 job!
He really enjoyed the ride!! 😂😂 made it really nice to watch
I swear I passed out when I rode this. I had to sit down after and calm my beating heart. My husband love it.
Nothing says BATMAN like green manicured lawns and a forest tree line! Whoever themed this ride should be in the DES line.
I love how popular this ride has become since Firehawk was removed.

Actually it’s a second set of road wheels. The way the ride works requires the trains upper and lower wheels to be the same size.
When my wife rode a similar coaster Firehawk at kings island, she was terrified! Like she normally smiles at photos, that time it was pure terror cuz it was a harness holding ur upper body. Nowhere near as sturdy and safe feeling as a solid shoulder restraint! I love this ride but laying on my back like that gives me a horrible headache!
The Batwing coaster looks way cooler than the Batman I rode at Six Flags Great America… wow 😯
Oh that was great I remember when I was in my 30s and I used to take all my kids to Six Flags in New Jersey and we loved it this coaster is great I would love to go on it now of course now I’m older and I don’t think I could do it but whoever took this video that’s great

This brought back memories riding the Batman coaster at universal wow that was my first time on a ride where you are hanging and not sitting in 2007. Was scary and amazing at the same time haha
Oh my gosh this looks insane!

Puff, I couldn't 😬. Sitting yes, but lying down, no. How brave!🤪
Surprisingly this was fun to watch
This and nighthawk are so underrated. These vecoma Flying duchmans are really good. Yet people trash in them because of a bit of rattle. These things are awesome and are so underrated.
i’ve been on this ride, and i love roller coasters but this is the ride that actually scared the living sh**t outta me

Literally the best ride in the park, you really feel like you’re flying

Well this is certainly an unusual take on a flying coaster
When my daughter sees this, we'll have to go!! The Batman rollercoaster in NJ ain't got nothing on this one!!🙌🏽
This ride is fun as hell
The Batman coasters are the best ones! Only have ridden it at Six Flags New England but it’s the safest and smoothest feeling to me if any coaster. Never hear of anything going wrong. I’m scared of coasters. Batman is the only one I still trust.
I need to ride on this incredible ride so much 💜💜💜
Closest to something like this I have ridden is Manta at SeaWorld. That was very intense. Especially on the flips! I was around 30 when I rode it and growing up could ride anything but Manta had me a little sick after lol. This looks crazy! I'm heading to ride Velocoaster at Islands of Adventure! That one seems very intense as well!!!

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.
Looks Amazing! I love next to Cedar Point, been on most of them. There are a few that I'm not brave enough for lol
Compared to other flying coasters, this is so intense because you feel like you're going to fall out constantly.
