This coaster has the distinction of having resided in three Six Flags parks.  Astroworld took this stand-up coaster, which originally ran at Six Flags Magic Mountain (1987-1989)) and Six Flags Great Adventure (1990-1992) as Shockwave, and reworked it into a Batman theme.  When it opened in Houston, the queue line originally ran through an old Alpine Sleigh dark ride, long defunct, which was rethemed to the Batcave.
