History

On September 27, 2007, it was announced that The Dark Knight Coaster would be coming to three Six Flags parks. One of these parks was Six Flags Great America.^[1]

In preparation for The Dark Knight Coaster's construction, the Theater Royale building was extensively modified and rethemed as a Gotham City Rail terminal. It officially opened on May 21, 2008.^[2]

For the 2022 season, the park added a single rider line to the attraction.^[3]
