[edit] The ride

The Dark Knight will be inspired by The Dark Knight. Costing $7.5 million, the ride puts guests through the premise of being stalked by the Joker. [1]

The Six Flags Great America ride will be located in Orleans Place between Superman: Ultimate Flight and the former Theatre Royale. The Theatre Royale building will house the queue and preshow room. The building will be modified and extensively themed as a Gotham City Rail terminal. The The Dark Knight concept layout (also shown here) was recently released for Six Flags Great America.
