Move aside Disney World, Six Flags will give you a run for your money.
According to the Daily Mail, Six Flags is building what is to be the world's first "four-dimensional free fly" roller coaster that will take your breath away -- because you'll be screaming so loud and for so long.
"Batman: The Ride" is set to be open July of next year in the park in San Antonio, Texas, and will spin the riders upside down on seats that flip independently.
According to the Mail, it will reach speeds up to 54mph, and drop from 105 feet in the air.
The seats will be flipping riders like pancakes, six times throughout the entire ride, and plunge to vertical drops as well -- all in under one minute and forty seconds of adventure that is not for the weak of heart.
The ride is specifically made to give riders the feeling of weightlessness while they are thrown around the track and is supposed to be similar to the "Green Lantern: First Flight" ride at the Six Flags Magic Mountain in California.
President Martin Bozer said in an interview with KHOU, "Every year we continue to provide more and more innovative technology and excitement for our park guests and season pass holders. 'BATMAN: The Ride' is an entirely new concept in ride engineering and will provide a sensory experience like no other coaster. The unanticipated tumbling will add even more thrills as riders travel along the dipping and swirling track."
The official slogan for the ride, according to the Six Flags website, is "Fly like a bat. We provide the wings."
The official description reads:
'BATMAN: The Ride' will show you what it feels like to be BATMAN, on this deeply intense 50-mile-per-hour juggernaut that is definitely not for the timid. Show your strength and bravery as you take on GOTHAM's criminal element. Deep in Movie Town, check out the authentic BATMOBILE on the decaying backstreets of GOTHAM CITY. But lucky for you, this is no movie. You're about to load up in the batcave to star in your very own dark and riveting adventure.
You're about to fight crime suspended from an overhead track, with your feet just dangling free in the air. Following a 10-story lift to the top of the world, brace yourself for a full 360-degree loop right off the bat. You're a global super hero, you don't need to warm up. After escaping that obstacle, now there's a fully inverted roll, then a second loop waiting for you about ten seconds later. Next you'll be pounded by a double set of wingovers and corkscrew descents with enough G-force to plaster you to your seat. How do a whopping 4 G's sound? Because that's what you'll be taking right about now. All in all, you'll face a mind-warping five inversions.
Watch the ground under your dangling feet whip around as the city below flips over and over, through a tightly packed series of gravity-defying twists that will grind you into submission just like the criminals of GOTHAM CITY.
