True, the Bat was the first, but many do not consider it a success since it had to be dismantled due to design flaws. XLR8 was the first ride that could be used continuously. Bat was removed after a few years and was closed more than it was open.
@evidence7 Bat was not the first suspended coaster. it was the second, and XLR-8 was the third. the first one was called "Alpenflung" and opened for 16 days in a fair in Germany. But it suffered the same problems as the bat did.
who cares, this ride sucks so boring and is just as bad as the iron dragon at cedar point yawn

what was that you could have put Astro world not XLR8 because there wasn't a clip of just XLR8 O_o

The soak ride was called The Tital Wave. I would always ride it right before we left to piss of my mom :)

Previous posts have already addressed suspended coaster history. XLR8 opened before the Big Bad Wolf.

The space shuttle ride was called The Looping Starship. It was moved to Six Flags over Texas and is now themed like a rocket.
