Shadows of Arkham is a Bolliger & Mabillard steel roller coaster at Parque Warner Madrid in Spain. It is located in the "DC Super Heroes World" location in the park. It is a mirror clone of Batman: The Ride, the popular inverted roller coaster located at several Six Flags parks in the United States. The ride formerly operated under the name Batman la Fuga (English: Batman the Escape) from 2002 until 2017, when it was changed to Batman: Arkham Asylum. The name was again changed in 2023 to Shadows of Arkham, coinciding with the opening of the park's Intamin launched roller coaster, Batman Gotham City Escape.[1][2]
History
[edit | edit source]The ride is 1:15 seconds long, and opened on 6 April 2002 along with Parque Warner Madrid. The color scheme of the ride is yellow and blue.[1]
In 2017, the ride was equipped with new virtual reality glasses, making it the first virtual reality coaster in Spain.
In early 2024, the ride underwent minor thematic updates to enhance its immersive experience, adding more interactive queue elements and advanced projection mapping in line with the latest DC Universe visual trends. This update also celebrates the continued success of Batman Gotham City Escape, as both attractions work together to form a dynamic and cohesive Batman-themed experience in Parque Warner Madrid.[3]
