'The Dark Knight' Rolls Into Six Flags

JACKSON, N.J. (AP) ―

The latest addition to Six Flags Great Adventure is a Batman-themed indoor roller coaster.

The Dark Knight ride, opening today, features hairpin turns, plunges into darkness and a video sneak peek from the latest Batman movie, set for release this summer.

The $7.5 million ride is the Jackson park's first new roller coaster in two years.

Riders reach up to 30 miles per hour on the "wild mouse"-style ride, housed inside a seven-story building.

The new ride is part of the company's plan to emphasize stories and characters in its rides, much like Disney theme parks.
