Gotham City is a themed area based on Gotham City at several amusement parks around the world. First opening at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 1994, the themed area has since expanded into multiple Six Flags amusement parks and Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.[1][2] Although the layout and attractions are not identical and vary at each park, they all thematically connect with each other.
