Personally i thought it was a good coaster, but definitely not worth a one and a half hour wait.

WRONG. Dark Knight is the biggest, most overhyped rip-off I've ever seen. It is nothing more than your basic carnival mousetrap style roller coaster encased in a semi-dark building. (had it been completely black, it maybe have added a little thrill to this lame-o ride but they even got that aspect wrong too) No corkscrews, loops, or even a decent dip. The animatronic figures, flashing lights, etc. (at least those that you can actually see) are merely annoying, not scary. Everyone who came off the ride all had the same comment: "Not worth the (2 hour+) wait".

I think we might have to have an official Geeks of Doom outing to Six Flags this year! Jerry, you gotta take the train up one weekend for this! Now, how do we get Royce to join us? :::rubbing hands together manically::: Hmm… I think we might have to have an official Geeks of Doom outing to Six Flags this year!

Six Flags Great Adventure is not but forty-five minutes away from me, and I may just have to rescind my ban on dealing with theme parks for this. Sometimes living in New Jersey pays off!
