In this episode we take a closer look at The Dark Knight Coaster at Six Flags Great America. This video is from the media day at the park. We had a great time, and captured our first ride on video. The video is a mix of footage from the ride, with bits of my first ride through edited in for good measure.
Thanks go out to the great people at Six Flags public relations, and Paul Barrie from A Window to the Magic Podcast for editing the videos.
Great America Experience Podcast - Episode 003 - The Dark Knight [25:34m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadIn this episode of the Great America Experience Podcast, we take our first ride on the newest attraction at Six Flags Great America. The Dark Knight is the first indoor coaster for the park, and it doesn’t disappoint. We’ll attend the opening ceremony, and take a binaural ride through this great new dark ride experience.
Just for fun, we’ll also take a ride on Superman: Ultimate Flight, and Batman the Ride. We also take a ride on a classic attraction at the park, the Wizzer. We’re just lucky to have it at this point, as the duplicate at Great America in California has been gone for quite a long time now.
In this episode we explore the now closed Space Shuttle America, take a ride on the Daemon, and head over to Home Town Square’s Grand Music Hall to see last summer’s new hit Show Stoppin’.
I’m looking for good ideas for the podcast. Please listen to the end of this episode to get my email address. I’m also hoping to attend opening day next Saturday April 26, 2008. I hope to grab some great audio on the first day of the season.

Also, if anyone knows how to get in contact with SFGA’s media relations, I’d appreciate the information. My hope is to start a direct relationship with Six Flags Great America so I may provide even higher quality shows for the future.
