It is the fastest roller coaster of its kind in the world, together with Ninja at Six Flags Magic Mountain, both with top speeds of 89 kilometres per hour (55 mph).

It is also the tallest currently operating suspended coaster in the world, reaching a height of 27.8 metres (91 ft).

It is considered to be a terrain coaster due to the influences of the ride track by the mountain and the river.

The train dives into a downward helix, which swings only a few feet above the surface of the water and wraps around Yukon Striker's first drop.

The Bat (formerly Top Gun & Flight Deck) was built in 1993 at Wonderland's sister park Kings Island.
