What? I don't understand your post.

[livai]

coasterbill understand

What?

I know I'm the unpopular opinion but I kind of like the colors, quite interesting and vibrant! I hope it looks just as good to me in the next few months when I first visit, and I'm excited to try it.

[Sportsdude360]

^Your opinion is popular with me as I agree with it! Here at SFOT, our Joker looks great and fits so well in our Gotham section!

[RollerManic]

The opinion that the new colors are ugly is actually the unpopular opinion. There has been a lot of praise in the SFOT and SFGAm threads for the new colors.

 

I think the new colors look fantastic. I saw SFOT's Joker in person a couple of days ago and it looked great. It looks a lot less weird in person, I promise.

[BoulderDash]

Initially, I thought the supports look terrible. I've gotten used to them a little but I still think it looks ugly. I will decide once I see it in person, but I think GA's supports look WAY better.

[Canobie Coaster]

I'll hold off judgment until I see it in person in 2.5 weeks, but the rail color is really eye-catching having seen the GAdv version.

The new park map is now out. Joker's Wildcard has been renamed Kryptonite with The Joker coaster getting set to open.

The ride did look creepy with the Joker head but it'll be a shame to see it gone since it was so different... well at least I hope the park would remove the Joker if they renamed it Kryptonite.

[Vonni]

I like the alternating green and purple supports. I would love to see more purple on coasters!

[boldikus]

I feel like the green/purple track of GreatAdv's installation pops more with the neutral supports. Initially I liked these colored supports but now that all three of them have gone up it looks so busy, so loud, so... Six Flags.

[Sportsdude360]

Having seen the SFOT Joker up close, I can say the colors should fit well in the Gotham section along side Riddler and Catwoman. Given the color scheme in that area, Joker should fit right in!

Okay, so I'm on the "aesthetics are ugly af" side of the spectrum, but the main difference between this and Splashwater Falls is the fact that this will be a fantastic attraction instead of a waste of space that no one likes.

Don't be so sure of that.

Agreed, I still miss the flume though.

Agree 1000%. Too much purple and green, looks tacky AF. Knowing Six Flags, the remaining 23 Joker clones they install will have the same tacky color scheme.

 

I feel like Six flags was somehow inspired by Cross Colors from the 90's

Some images are coming out from today's construction tour. All of these are from SFNE Online's Facebook page...

 

 

 

 

Also, the park has stated that the upcoming announcement will be "good for the region" and that we'll be able to "experience it this season". My money is absolutely on Holiday in the Park.

I feel the general consensus is that the busy look makes the ride abnoxious. I thought so too, based on photos. However, I sincerely promise you the ride does not look busy in person. The grey supports between each side pop out a lot more in person that they do in photos (in photos, they're almost impossible to see). This segmentation keeps the ride from looking so busy in real life, IMO.

Hopefully they can convince the Waffle de Lys folks to send an extra truck up that-a-way.

 

Seriously, if it ends up being HITP, I'll be very excited. I really love the feel of the park overall and can't wait to see what the Oak Island people can do to gussy it up for the sseason.

[larrygator]

Correct me if I'm mistaken, I thought green and purple were the signature colors of The Joker character.
