The Dark Knight Coaster is an indoor roller coaster in the Movietown section of Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. It opened in 2008 and was built by Mack Rides as a wild mouse coaster housed entirely inside a building; RCDB lists the model as a Wilde Maus Compact Mobile. Its theme comes from the Batman film The Dark Knight.
The ride is staged as an evacuation of Gotham City by subway while the Joker is at large, and riders may spot the Joker or Batman along the way. Small cars seat four riders in two rows and climb a chain lift. According to the park, the track makes six 180-degree turns and a series of ups and downs from a height of 45 feet. RCDB gives a track length of 1,213 feet, no inversions and a ride time of about two minutes.
The park lists a minimum height of 48 inches, or 42 inches with an accompanying adult.
