Space Mountain is a prime example of incredible theming hiding a far less than average coaster. Flight of Fear also falls in that category, although they are less excruciating to ride since the restraint replacments several yers ago.

Why is it that many coasters are themed around Skulls or Death? Do professional ride namers want Final Destination 3 to repeat itself?

Dark Knight is a mouse clone. barely worthy of true attention. One ride, then look at other lines.

I agree that themeing can have an effect on a coaster, but for whatever reason, I've always hated this ride. Seven years ago I was just tall enough to ride it, and I didn't even like it back then! Six Flags Great Adventure is my home park, and I visit it often. I think that the Dark Knight is better then Skull Mountain, but not by much.

Theming can absolutely affect a ride. Skull Mountain does have good theming, and I like it. The darkness makes it seem faster than it actually is because you cant see how fast your going and the transitions seem out of nowhere. I must say that the theming on the dark knight a short walk away is much better. And it may not be that thrilling, but I like riding dark knight. It has great theming, lighting and sound effects, and the drops seem sudden and are fun. I actually might like the dark knight a little better, because of the theming, and that skull mountain is just too short in length.
