 In 2007 , Six Flags announced three The Dark Knight Coaster roller coasters would be built at Six Flags Great Adventure , Six Flags Great America , and Six Flags New England . Because Batman : The Dark Knight 's name was so similar to the new roller coaster , it was renamed to Batman : The Ride . However , as construction on the new roller coaster progressed , the city of Agawam forced Six Flags to stop construction after it was discovered the park had not received the appropriate construction permits . In April 2008 , Six Flags cancelled the project due to the delays and Batman : The Ride was renamed back to its original .
