Batgirl Coaster Chase is a Vekoma kiddie roller coaster located at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
History
The ride was originally named Pied Piper when it opened in 1992. In 1999, it was renamed to Rollschuhcoaster. In 2009, Wiggles World made its debut at the park and the roller coaster was renamed to Romp Bomp A Stomp to suit the new theme.
In 2011, Romp Bomp A Stomp was renamed to Kiddee Koaster after Six Flags got rid of external licenses from its parks. Then in 2020, it was renamed Streamliner Coaster.
For the 2024 season, Thrill Seeker Park became part of the DC Universe area, with the coaster being rethemed to Batgirl and renamed as Batgirl Coaster Chase.[1][2][3]
