They have the coldest temperatures on earth over there in New jersey that is why. Yeah I wouldn't know about temperatures in New Jersey. Thanks for the heads up. Its so incredibly far from me. You've been so helpful, honestly not sure what I'd do without your continuous barrage of extraordinarily helpful posts. Your welcome. It's far from me to but the only reason I know is because someone that I know lives over there and tells us that.

Over Texas thrills posted on their website pictures of the joker today: The Joker trains on the transfer track being assembled. As you see, the Joker sign has not been placed on to the supports of the track, but is expected to be placed in its place once all the spin Dina have been put into place. The Joker's operator booth has come much along together than last week. The chain lift guide and anti-rollbacks are being placed on to the lift hill this should change very quickly. Once this is done and the chain itself is put in, The Joker will be much closer to its testing phase. The Joker Construction Update 2/11/17: 2/14/2017 0 Comments With just more than 10 days until the parks Opening Weekend, major construction on The Joker has begun coming to a close. The rides track is now completely finished meaning that ariel construction should start wrapping up within the next couple of weeks. More trains are being put onto the transfer track and the chain lift guide rail is going up too. This will be the sites last construction update before opening weekend so lets get started. Picture As previously noted, the rides track and catwalks have all been completed. The colors on this ride are extremely vibrant and really do pop. I can't wait to see cars flying by as I drive into the park! Picture The chain lift guide and anti-rollbacks are bring placed on the lift hill. While they only extend about 1/5 of the way at the moment this should change very quickly. Once this is done and the chain itself is put in, The Joker will be much closer to its testing phase. Picture Picture Something odd to note is that one of the magnetic brake fins has been removed from the second raven turnaround. The top photo is from January 28th while the bottom is from February 11th. Occasionally small adjustments do have to be made so I wouldn't worry about it being a problem. odd to note is that one of the magnetic brake fins has been removed from the second raven turnaround.

short answer? nope. but getting a car is worth it anyways, as if you rent in Dallas/Ft Worth and drive, you can make stops in Austin (Capitol !, Zilker Park, Live Music) and New Braunsfel's (Schlitterbahn) on the way to San Antonio (if you go I35), and then after visiting SFFT, the Alamo, Seaworld, and the Riverwalk, go back via I10, which will let you hit ZDT (in Seguin) for the shuttle coaster, go thru Houston to the Kemah Boardwalk, and down to Galveston to the pleasure pier.. . before heading back up I45 to Dallas to return the car. it's a big Triangle, and will let you hit pretty much everything in Texas Awesome, thanks for the advice! To be honest, I actually hoped this is how it would be, now I can sell it to myself as a proper vacation instead of a credit run. I've made that exact trip, and hit up all the parks listed as well as some sightseeing, and it was a lot of fun. Exhausting. But fun!! You won't regret it! Oh that's cool and awesome. Wish that I could do the same thing as you and I am glad that you had fun because I would too.

Which 6 year old are you talking about? By using context clues, I believe that the six year old in question is SixFlagsFans3793. On topic, I cannot believe that this thing is already up! Meanwhile the one at my home park, SFNE, has about 3 supports up. I am not even six years old so it's not probably me. Oh cool me either I cannot wait to ride the joker at sfot.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark on this one and guess you've never experienced VR on a coaster?? The 4 VR coasters I've been on always had ridiculously awful dispatches. Like, 5-15 minute dispatches per VR train. Yes I have. We have been on the superman at sfft be but it was pretty fast when we went. I like be on the coasters but then again probably slow dispatches as you said. I will get on another vr coaster which will probably be shockwave since we had a nice experience last time. The only thing that I didn't like was that you had to hold really right or tie it tight because it would go up and down like move throughout the ride but hopefully shockwave' s vr will be better and stay on your face without moving throughout the ride, but it might be the motion of the ride that was making it move. What I mean is all the movement the ride was downing like going upside down. Who knows because you never know.

Oh god, please no. Operations, and capacity are already bad enough on those coasters. Let's please not ever do anything to make their dispatches worse. No they're not. Every time that we go the lines are either moving fast or not long, really short, so ya it would not slow the dispatches down unless like if a lot of people like vr and then there will be long lines on both.

Noooo, not again. I was hoping this VR craze was coming to an end. . . Looks like it's still on Shockwave from the photo. Since Six Flags loves to act like this is a totally new ride, nowhere on their site do they say what coaster it's on. Can anyone confirm? Yes this is going on the Shockwave in the "Tower Section" For more information Click Here Yes we can tell by the picture. Imagine if it was on Batman the ride or Mr freeze reverse blast, not shockwave.

No, no we are not. If I had to guess I'd bet every single question, or 99% of them, would be related to Joker, and when it is going to open, or if they have made any more progress on the "operators booth or control room." If you're really wanting some games to play, go check out the Random, Random, Random thread on here. There are tons of games for you to play there! No they are not all going to be about the joker .
