Batwing is a steel flying roller coaster built by Vekoma at Six Flags America in Prince George's County, Maryland. The ride is a clone of the now-defunct Firehawk at Kings Island, and similar to the also-defunct Nighthawk at Carowinds, however that ride had a slightly different ending, and different paint scheme.
After the closure of Nighthawk at Carowinds in 2024, Batwing is the only operating Vekoma Flying Dutchman.
