Batwing is a flying steel roller coaster at Six Flags America in Prince George's County, Maryland. The ride has three trains with six cars per train. A total of twenty four guests can ride in each train arranged four across in each car.The ride begins with you leaving the station with your back towards the floor. As you reach the maximum height of the hill, you roll over to your right and soar down and the ride begins. The ride features several inversions. It is rated a High Thrill ride with sudden stops, turns, and drops. As of 2007, Batwing only uses 2 trains and mainly uses one train due to small attendance at the park during the weekdays. It is not as rough as some other Vekoma coasters and has held up well over the years.
