Arkham Asylum – Shock Therapy was a Vekoma SLC roller coaster located at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. When the ride was introduced in 1995, it was themed to the Lethal Weapon film series created by Shane Black and was named Lethal Weapon – The Ride. In 2012, the ride was rethemed to Batman: Arkham Asylum and renamed Arkham Asylum. The ride was the first steel inverted roller coaster at an Australian theme park. The ride has stood but not operated since 2019. It was demolished in July 2022. History Lethal Weapon – The Ride (1995–2012) On 26 December 1995, Lethal Weapon – The Ride officially opened to the public. It was the first Suspended Looping Coaster to feature an extended layout with a helix before the brake run. This helix was referred to as a "bayern kurve" by Vekoma. Riders would originally join in the queue by entering an area of the theme park made up like Chinatown, complete with a variety of facades such as "Lee's Martial Arts School" and various restaurants and sundry shops. The queue started outdoors, before moving into a movie-theatre like hall where riders watched sequences of the film while waiting to ride. Before finally riding, riders would progress into an area made up like an auto yard, with cars piled up atop each other and graffiti all over the walls, with the sound of barking Dobermans as well as a seemingly abandoned Shell auto station. After hearing an audio presentation and removing any loose items, riders are strapped in and the ride is dispatched. In the mid-2000s the ride's queue was altered to bypass most of this theming except for the autoyard. The revised queue was located in the pathway between the original Lethal Weapon – The Ride entrance and Superman Escape. This resulted in a considerably shorter queue which had originally made up just the last portion. This was done due to the popularity of the ride dipping as both it, and the film franchise aged. Arkham Asylum (2012–2019) In September 2011, parts of new trains were spotted in a maintenance area of the ride. The new trains were designed by Kumbak, the company responsible for 2009 installation of new trains on Sea World's Sea Viper roller coaster. At around the same time, the ride's entrance was moved to a new location in the pathway between
