Do we really need to list these two accidents here? They were not directly related to the model of the roller coaster involved. This could have happened on any other roller coaster - and in both cases there is nobody to blame except of the people that were killed. (Maybe it should at lease be mentioned that in both cases it was their own fault and no fault of the ride itself, its operators, its designers or its builders.)

What should this article focus on?
Should this article focus on:
rides named Batman: The Ride (i.e. Six Flags installations only)?
rides with a Batman theme (i.e. include
Batman: La Fuga as well)?
Looks great! My only recommendation is to add info about the ACE Landmark status to maybe the history section as the lead should include what's in the article. Besides that, I'd say everything checks out.--

In your digging through old award archives did you ever recall seeing Batman in the list? Maybe it's ACE Landmark status could be added to an awards section if the ride had received other awards. Themeparkgc Talk 06:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)reply
Just a heads up, the Great America ride's trains are going to run backwards this season it looks like so that'll have to be included. I don't think it's officially been announced.--

"Each installation of Batman: The Ride has a track length of between 2,693 and 2,700 feet (821 and 820 m) and each reaches a height of between 100 and 105 feet (30 and 32 m)." Which coaster is 100 feet tall, which one is 105? Which one is 2,693, and which one is 2,700? From the way its worded, I understand it as one model is 100 feet while another one is 105, but I don't know which....or is it just the actually heights and lengths aren't known (if so, a reword would be nice)? Hope this helps, and if it doesn't just tell me and I'll try again....third time is the charm!--

Took a look at the RCDB pages and I think you got it wrong. The original was 100ft, while the others were a mix of either 100 or 105.--

When talking about the ride layout, its describes one type of layout while there are mirrors which have the opposite. Maybe mention this somewhere in that section.--

There is already this line at the start of the section: "although the layout for each successive attraction is identical or a mirror image of the original" Themeparkgc Talk 23:56, 21 May 2013 (UTC)reply
"For the 2010 season, the clone at Six Flags Magic Mountain was repainted medium blue with black supports, and Six Flags Over Georgia, medium blue with dark blue supports." - Ref?--

"complete with a Batsuit vault on the opposite side of the track. During queuing, Batman film music plays, from Danny Elfman, U2, Prince, and Seal." - Ref?
Really? No GTA....I'm shocked! I thought it would of surely made the list for at least one year. Did you check (if it never made the list, then owell)--

"American Coaster Enthusiasts have also praised the ride" - Maybe you can include how they praised the ride (quotes?)--

This ride is already installed in several Six Flags, as mentioned in
Batman: The Ride. Aside from location and construction related minutiae, is this ride substantially any different or would it be mainly redundant? Creating an article for every new iteration smacks of
WP:RECENTISM.

The Fiesta Texas one is not one of the other Batman clones. The only things in common is the theme and name. So, I don't think it should merge.

Agree that it's a completely different attraction from the Batman inverted coasters. Also, being a first of its kind will make it notable in and of itself. --McDoobAU9323:32, 5 January 2015 (UTC)reply
As proposer of the merge, I now see that the coasters are substantially different, and a merge is probably not warranted. I would ask that the "disambiguation" hatnote be clarified to be somewhat more helpful: e.g instead of simply not to be confused with Batman: The Ride (Six Flags Fiesta Texas), (which does little to reduce "confusion" for those not already familiar) a less ambiguous statement would be :
Why in the article doesn't appear the ride of Six Flags Mexico?

I guess this is because I am a roller coaster enthusiast, but it feels wrong to have one article for several different roller coasters with different opening dates. Personally I think there should be one article for each coaster. Also because Batman The Ride at Six Flags in Mexico is not a B&M, and now we have B:TR at Six Flags Fiesta Texas which has the same name and theme but a different ride system.
