- Off ride footage only of Batman The Escape, Intamin stand up roller coaster at Six Flags Astroworld, Houston, Texas, USA. Filmed by Andrew Marshall 1995 and the extra station shots at the end of the video 2003.
I think this had the best cue line of any six flags rollercoaster..I mean you went through a mountain...to get to the cue..This ride wad awesome..
Not to scary but awesome..I miss it alot..
Another classic from Astroworld !
Just the waiting line to get on to the rides at ASTRO world were epic
This was my favorites ride at Astro World! Love Batman the Escape
excellent station footage!
That is right.
This is awesome and why video is important. To capture memorial. I appreciate this video so much!
aww. i remember this one it had a badass entrance with the duck ride flipped over
QueenZombieCersei now there's not much to do in Houston lol
QueenZombieCersei haha i moved too i lived out there all my life and finally said fuck this so moved to LA haha.
+Jesus Lopez Do you know anything about the new Grand Texas park being built?
Sean Lewis. no where at?
Jesus Lopez New Caney, off hwy 59 and 242.
Such a shame that Astroworld went under. I miss it.
Reliving my childhood memories.. thank you do much for the upload... unfortunately I wasn't tall enough to ride this one when I went.. but i always was so jealous of my parents.. I loved batman... i looked up to him and being able to ride his ride would have made me feel even more like a super hero! I wish I could have.. but the line que was absolutely amazing.. super stunning.. i wish they did more with the que lines nowadays.. they used to go above and beyond.. it was something to remember about the ride.. especially since you spent so much of your time in the line que.. also... the stunt show was waaaaaay cool! It trumps any theme park show I've been able to see in a while.. super cool old Hollywood set type shit.. can't beat that!
I looked up to Batman too. I rode all his rides and it made me feel even more like a super hero.
The scariest part about this ride, for me, was the climb at the beginning. I wouldn't know about the rest because my eyes were closed. Felt scary though.
Loved this ride. I remember being terrified of having that bar under my crotch, lol.
This exact ride was in Los Angeles at Magic Mountain until it was taken out and sent to Astro World. It was SHOCKWAVE
We will miss you. Good old times.
My dad made that ride.
Intamin stand-ups are quite a rare breed - thanks for sharing Steve!
It was an Intamin coaster working with Giovanola, according to RCDB rcdb.com/53.htm
Defunctland brought me here
The track of this ride lies next to Darien lakes theme park❤️ I love looking at the tracks wen I drive by or to Darien lake
This ride gave me a headache!!!
This coaster is looking like it will actually reopen for 2018! Darien Lake is investing $5 million.
This thing would cost well over 5 million, one because they don't have any mechanical parts for it, and intamin does not make these, second it's completely rusted and would require a refurb from B&M, third, new trains no one would want the stand up trains so they would have to buy floorless and those would cost 4 million alone, forth they're getting a eurofighter but at the time you wrote this comment you didn't know that
I liked the stand up method :)
Another great video from Anton's collection! :-) I was wondering how the shoulder restraints worked on the Intamin Stand-up coasters. One side of the shoulder restraint opens and closes while the other half is connected to the seat, while the whole seat moves up and down to adjust to the riders' height until locked, obviously! ;-) That's quite odd and neat at the same time how that restraint system works. Thanks for uploading Steve! :-)
John Brooks Shockwave at Drayton Manor is another of this type of Intamin Stand up with the split shoulder restraint. I have video of that which I'll be putting up sometime soon in the future.
Andrew Marshall Thanks! I can't wait to see it. :-)
John Brooks why does this intamin track look like b&m track?
The Intamin track looks like B&M track because Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard worked for Giovanola who supplied rides for Intamin. They left in 1987 and founded B&M in 1988. They used the track design which Intamin/Giovanola had designed in order to create their own coasters. :-)
That ride was definitely not as good as I remembered it being 😂 I was too young to know any better. It’s also the likely reason I never had kids 🤣
I can't believe that was one of my favorites...
I feel like intamin should re make these but with sit down trains. They are good fun and are the perfect family thrill ride!
I miss Astroworld and what has become of the dome is unacceptable. The dome is historical
My favorite part is at 3:58 The announcer was so much more terrifying and gratifying to hear in person. Thanks for uploading.
Is that supposed to be one of The Penguin's goons?
AKA Shockwave at Six Flags Magic Mountain 1986 - 1988
Jason Garcia mmmm hmmmm
"If you think you can take it... Stand up."
awesome memories
I sure it's intamin the track looks like b&m
+creeperboom gaming Hi, yeah it is Intamin. Perhaps this explanation will make sense. The first four abreast box section tracks where fabricated by Giovanola originally for Intamin and at that time it is my understanding that Walter Boliger used to work at Giovanola where he developed the box section track. Soon after that he set up his own company and then the classic four abreast box section track became the property and trademark of the B&M company. Hope this makes sense.
Andrew Marshall I've been looking for that explanation!
formerly Shockwave at Great Adventure. Isn't it wierd how they removed a stand up in the 90s, and in 2011, the new ride announced was a stand up?
Agreed
they took out an ok stand up for the time in the late 80's and replaced a custom epic arrow looper with a terrible, painful B&M stand up in 2011. Worst Six Flags Great Adventure decision ever.
originally this was at Magic Mountain b4 it went to Great Adventure and THEN ended up here.....and now......rusting away at Darien Lake😞
I HATE GREEN LANTERN!!
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 Me too. It literally put a bone disease in my right foot because of the riding position.
I rode this when it was ShockWave at Magic Mountain
They never should have closed this place down... Texas cyclone... Batman... Wasn't there an original bat mobile and penguin thingy in the lot around the ride as well?
I'm getting bad memories of Cobra at La Ronde
Where did all the rides from Astroworld end up?
Lorean Lerma Well, according to RCDB. Serial Thriller is now at La Ronde as Ednor L'Attaque. Batman is in storage at Darien Lake. Greezed Lightnin' is in storage at Joyland Amusement Park.Excalibur, after sitting in storage, the trains were sent to Six Flags Over Texas, the rest of the ride was scrapped. Ultra Twister went to Six Flags America, I don't know what happened then and I think the Texas Cyclone was demolished !
+MGTOW MonkeyBoy Mayan Mindbender
Ultra Twister was stupidly damaged too much to repair so in 2010 it was scrapped and taken off site of Six Flags America. Batman: The Escape was supposed to go up quickly at Darien Lake but then six flags sold it too and as a resulted it rotted on site and is probably beyond repair now too.
Why did they change it from 6 rows to 5 rows
CHEAP
Probably because the 6th row got unbearably rough
The only thing this ride needs is Catwoman!
This ride aways gave me a head ache.
ahh, the engineering
Come on darien lake
That thing was horribly rough!
Though the theming was praised.

The coaster was great but the video stinks. You can't see the entire ride. POV is so much better.
I hated this ride. What a turd. So uncomfortable.
