When Riddler’s Revenge opened in 1998 it became the world
recorder holder in height, drop, speed, length and number of inversions on a
standup roller coaster. Instead of sitting in a seated position riders standup
while hurling through massive inversions including two back to back dive loops.
Riders straddle a small bicycle style seat meaning this coaster may be slightly
more terrifying for males rather than females, especially if they have dreams
of having children in the future. Even though B&M only built seven standup
coasters Riddler’s Revenge remains the cream of the crop.
