The Bat is a steel roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.

Trains

The Bat's train was originally one of three from Dragon Fire, another of the park's roller coasters. This is because this coaster only ever used two of its trains, so the third was moved to The Bat.

Ride Experience

First, the train of The Bat gets pulled up backwarks to the top of the lift hill which is over 115 feet tall. After that, the train gets let down forwards and goes through the station area in about a second. The ride goes on the cobra roll after it runs past the station. Since the cobra roll turns the cars of the train 180 around. The riders are heading in the opposite direction to which they first started. The Bat's passengers go through a loop after that and then head up another lift hill just as tall as the first one was. The train gets lifted up normally on this lift hill and gets let down backwards. The train of The Bat goen through the same track again then but this time it goes through it backwards.

The Bat is one of the roller coasters are Wonderland that requires significant wait time relative to other coasters when it is busy, due to the Boomerang-nature of the coaster allowing only one train on the track at a time.
