Holy colossal marketing tie-ins, Batman! When we heard Six Flags Great Adventure was creating a completely indoor souped-up roller coaster tied into the coming release of the The Dark Knight movie this summer, we knew we just had to check it out. Before the ride opened to the public on Friday, the DVICE TV crew took off to New Jersey to get the full tour.
Exploring "Gotham," our intrepid roving reporter Vanessa Rae ascended ladders and traversed catwalks — a thrilling experience comparable to the ride itself. She also got to be one of the first to go on what may be the only roller coaster to ever feature face-detecting software. How does that help? And is the Dark Knight coaster a fun ride, or is it too serious? Stop riddling us with questions — just hit play on the Bat-Video Player above.

Wow, I'm so impressed by this ride. A real nice job. The Clown mask is a little laggy, but hey..not many people will probably notice that.
And vanessa is so right about the long stair bit. I would probably take my sweet time ascending. How long did the scene cut remove? hehe

Vanessa is such a trooper!!! You can hear one of the guys at the end say he does not want to get off. LOL!!!

Vanessa is perfect for DVICE. She makes everything seem interesting! Boy you guys hit the lottery when you hired her! You better make her feel appreciated with a raise before someone snaches her up. I look foward to all of her Mini- shows!

Very curious good this ride will actually be. From the video, it looks more like a carnival ride than anything...

Look, I think Vanessa is sick of all you one track minded idiots. She's a professional. Look at her Bio! Anybody who sees this site will have thinking differently about her. Stop looking at her tits and start watching dvice for what it was designed. It's not a porn broadcast.

my favorite part was where Vanessa was wearing the skin tight shirt. Watching her walk away from the camera was great, too!

MOIMOI, if you and all the other tit-houndz around here have lost your manners, well, I haven't. Pieces of garbage like yourselves should be banned from keyboards.
