Batgirl Coaster Chase is a junior roller coaster in the DC Universe section of Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. Built by Dutch manufacturer Vekoma, the ride first opened on March 14, 1992, making it one of the original attractions at the park, and it has worn several names and themes over the decades before becoming Batgirl’s turf in 2024.
Before taking on its current superhero identity, the compact steel coaster cycled through names including Pied Piper, Rollschuhcoaster, Romp Bomp A Stomp, Kiddie Koaster, and Streamliner Coaster. The 2024 rebrand folded it into the park’s broader DC Universe theming, casting young riders as Gotham recruits following Batgirl through the city’s streets, alleys, and rooftops.

The Ride Experience
As a junior coaster, Batgirl Coaster Chase keeps its circuit gentle and short, running a single train of paired seats through two laps of track with no inversions. The modest height and speed make it an accessible entry point to coasters for younger riders, while the DC Universe theming around it ties the experience to the park’s superhero-themed zone.
The 36-inch height requirement positions the ride for the youngest members of a family group, often serving as a first roller coaster experience before riders graduate to the park’s larger attractions nearby.
A Long History of Reinvention
Few rides at Fiesta Texas can claim as many identities as this one. Since debuting as Pied Piper in 1992, the coaster has been renamed roughly every decade, reflecting shifts in the park’s theming strategy, from a Wiggles World tie-in to a licensing-free Kiddie Koaster era, before finally landing as Batgirl Coaster Chase when the surrounding area became DC Universe in 2024.
