The sound bites at the end of this video look entirely staged, and the ride itself appears pretty timid.

Six Flags Great Adven­ture today unveiled the highly antic­i­pated “THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster.” Based on Warner Bros. Pic­tures’ upcom­ing movie THE DARK KNIGHT, the indoor, dark coaster offers guests a one-of-kind ride experience.

More than just a ride, THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster fea­tures the most world renowned DC Comics char­ac­ters in an adven­ture that uti­lizes sto­ry­telling, phys­i­cal move­ment, video, sound and spe­cial effects to bring guests a one-of-a-kind dark ride thrill. As part of the expe­ri­ence, park guests will see, hear and feel the action of the movie the moment they enter the ride queue line, as they are trans­formed into cit­i­zens of Gotham City — caught in the mid­dle of a city under siege and torn apart by The Joker.

Guests board a Gotham City rail car and careen through six 180-degree hair­pin turns, climb unseen hills, plunge into pitch dark­ness, dip into unfore­seen dan­ger and con­tinue to be tor­mented by The Joker as they thrust onto the bat­tle­field of good vs. evil. Will THE DARK KNIGHT save them in time?

“THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster offers guests a one-of-a-kind ride expe­ri­ence that com­bines the action and excite­ment of THE DARK KNIGHT movie with the thrill of a roller coaster,” said Mark Kane, Six Flags Great Adventure’s Park Pres­i­dent. “THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster offers a unique expe­ri­ence that will appeal to both fam­ily and teen audiences.”

The attrac­tion also intro­duces new, cus­tomized footage fea­tur­ing Dis­trict Attor­ney Har­vey Dent (as por­trayed by Aaron Eck­hart), pro­duced and shot specif­i­cally for THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster. The ride also incor­po­rates audio and visual ele­ments from the film which will debut July 18, 2008, offer­ing guests a sneak peak.

The $7.5 mil­lion coaster is located in the Movi­etown sec­tion at Six Flags Great Adven­ture adja­cent to BATMAN The Ride. The height restric­tion is 42 inches to ride with an adult and 48 inches to ride alone. Guests can receive up-to-the-minute park news and pur­chase a 2008 sea­son pass online at www​.sixflags​.com.
