All the ruckus about splash mountain on Disney made me sober this. Batman the ride is almost as old, six flags parks have had no qualms about removing other aging attractions. I’d guess the popularity of super hero movies has something to do with it.

The Batmans are really well-made inverted coasters that are still popular with riders. B&M created a classic. Really all they need is maintenance.

The people in charge saw the movie title "Batman Forever" and said "yes". They've kept to their word.

Ride still holds up and is a favorite amongst park goers. I really enjoyed it when Magic Mountain had the cars run backwards.
