Yes, the coaster did come from Geauga Lake, but it wasn't named Batman: Knight Flight. It was named Dominator, while the park was under Cedar Fair's ownership.

It was named Batman: Knight flight when it was a Six Flags park from 2000 to 2004.

In my opinion, it is the best B&M floorless coaster out there, and a great addition for the ever-depressing state of Kings Dominion. However, I have seen some great changes as far as clenliness and operations go since CF stepped in.

It doesn't have to have "loop-de-loops" after the block break to lose its intensity. Interlocking corkscrews (or flatspins) are a staple of B&M, and they can produce great forces, whether thay be positive or negative G's. I enjoy the hangtime on Dominator in the corks.

I'm a coaster geek, I know.

This article was written very well. The imagery and description makes me want to head to Kings Dominion right now and ride the roller coaster.
