Batman's Hangout-- Gotham City Backlot at Magic Mountain
Come to Gotham City Backlot at Magic Mountain...and step into the world of the Caped Crusader!
Here's where you may fly along the swooping, swirling track of "Batman The Ride." Plus, find some far-out family fun riding 2 other attractions geared for most ages. Then, add to your comic heroes merchandise collection at the "Axis" souvenir shop!
Batman Roller Coaster
Fun inverting steel coaster at Magic Mountain!
An eerie mood is set as you step through the Gotham City gates. The colorful hues of Bugs Bunny Land and Colossus County Fair fade into tones of grey and black. The grime and industrial ugliness of the city comes into your mind. Something foul is afoot---surely some bad guys are near! Can Batman hurry onto the scene to save the day?
Yes, here he comes---and YOU are flying right along beside him on his roller-coaster-to-the-rescue!
You step into a ride car suspended from above. You loop, bank and corkscrew at 50 MPH, your feet dangling in the breeze. 2,700 feet later, you're back at Batman Headquarters, mission accomplished!
Batman's "citizen helpers" need to be at least 54" tall to assist him in his quest to quell evil. Riders may be asked to remove shoes that don't fasten securely--eg. flip-flops. Batman doesn't want his helpers to hit the innocent citizens of Gotham City with flying footwear!
Other attractions in the Gotham City Backlot
After helping Batman catch the bad guys, you might want a souvenir to remind you of your conquest. Voila---the Axis souvenir shop in Gotham City Backlot at Magic Mountain is at hand with all your Batman-themed needs---T-shirts, caps, cups, keychains, etc. The merchandise is rotated, but always remains themed around our friend, Bruce Wayne, and his exploits in saving Gotham City from rack and ruin!
The shorter members of your party may be sad that they can't fly along with Batman...but, at least they won't leave Gotham City Backlot at Magic Mountain without having some fun on OTHER rides.
There are 2 rides in the Gotham City area for kids only 42" tall and above. The first is "Grinder Gearworks," a cylinder-shaped ride where you "stick to the walls" as the cylinder spins faster and faster. Then they throw in a twist---while you're spinning and sticking, the rids lifts & tilts to the side. A unique sensation!
Here's another fun ride in Gotham City Backlot at Magic Mountain for the 42" and up crowd---The Atom Smasher." Riders board a 2-person car in a "train" on a circular track (which also features up & down "waves.")
The cars start to move around a central hub, going faster and faster, as the 2 in each car get increasingly more cozy as they're plastered together against the right-hand side of the car. Scoot over, baby!
