RIDE INFO
The Bat is the 7th roller coaster currently at the park and is the first suspended coaster at Lagoon. It's designed for the whole family to ride, but seems to be enjoyed most by children.
      There was some upsetting news that came with the announcement of this new ride. The old Lake Park Terrace was torn down on the 11th or 12th of October 2004 (most likely the 12th). The only thing said to be left of the famous Lake Park Terrace is a portion which was kept for use in a member of the Freed family's yard.
