Batman: The Ride is a steel inverted roller coaster in the Studio Backlot area of Mid America Adventure in Eureka, Missouri, the park called Six Flags St. Louis until 2026. Riders sit in chairs below the track with their feet hanging free.
Bolliger & Mabillard built the coaster, which opened on April 22, 1995. It is a mirror image of the original Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, so its first drop turns to the right. After the chain lift, the course has five inversions: two vertical loops, a zero-g roll and two wing-overs.
The park lists a height of 110 feet, a track length of 2,900 feet and a ride time of 2 minutes, and its description gives a top speed of 50 mph. Each of the two trains has eight cars of four riders. Riders must be at least 54 inches tall.
