Crazy Bats, formerly known as Space Center and Temple of the Night Hawk is an enclosed roller coaster located at Phantasialand. It opened on 1 April 1988 and was manufactured by Vekoma.

History

Opened in 1988 after 18 months of construction, the ride was originally called Space Center. It led passengers past models of rockets and emulated asteroids, and the darkened hall was dimly lit with lights resembling stars. Due to the construction of neighbouring themed area Wuze Town in 2001, the roller coaster was redeveloped with a fantasy jungle theme and renamed Temple of the Night Hawk.

The ride has four trains, and one spare train for repairs, each with seven cars. Each car has two rows of seats, each holding two people. During the four-minute ride, the trains traverse 1,174 metres (3,852 ft) of track, utilizing three lift hills. The building containing the ride is around 120,000 cubic metres (4,200,000 cu ft), and rests on 180 concrete pillars buried 12 metres (39 ft) deep in the ground. The building's basement level contained the Hollywood Tour dark ride before the latter was closed. The total investment for the ride was around 15 million DM.

Until 2014, the song "The Egg Travels" from Disney's Dinosaur was played by several speakers placed inside the hall. In the station of the roller coaster, the song "Inner Sanctum/The Nesting Grounds" and the intro of the song "The End Of Our Island" from the same movie were played. In 2015, these songs were replaced with custom songs produced by IMAscore.[1]

Originally, the coaster was to be manufactured by BHS/Zierer, with linear induction motors (LIMs) as transport elements. After a track layout had been designed and models created, the park instead decided to work with Vekoma, and to utilize lift hills over LIMs.
