A.J. Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Don't get too excited. I believe Great Nor'Easter has these trains and I can confirm that it's the single worst SLC I've ever ridden. See, a few years ago, it was at least tolerable. Unfortunately, Mind Eraser is the single worst kind of attraction that they could put this on - a rough-and-tumble Vekoma suspended looping coaster. When it comes to virtual reality, even the slightest bit of "off" motion, such as the constant jostling back and forth in an SLC's seat, could cause sickness. Honestly, as sacrilegious as this sounds, maybe they would have been better off putting it on Wicked Cyclone. Or as a new VR program for Superman.

Canobie Coaster Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Please don't give them any ideas to put it on Wicked Cyclone or back on Superman. I personally think Mind Eraser will be tolerable with the new trains but I still wouldn't ride it much and the VR confirms that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highridin Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 SFA is next. Just haven't 'officially' announced it. Let it slip on the ACE site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsdude360 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 ^Good to see the Joker is about ready! Here at SFOT, ours is about to begin testing! The water dummies are already sitting in the trains which are on track underneath the structure awaiting testing! EDIT: The SFOT Joker has officially begun testing!!!

Srosdude Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 God, that really is the ugliest coaster ever. Those support colors... wtf? I don't understand why they couldn't go with Black/Grey supports like Great Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightnin Loops Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 God, that really is the ugliest coaster ever. Those support colors... wtf? you must be blind. looks awesome. at least they changed it up a little from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I never thought they would be able to replace Splashwater Falls with an even uglier attraction, but I never should have doubted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 This years crop of 4Ds are ghastly to look at. Puzzling why they didn't keep black supports. The purple and green looks so much better with neutral coloured supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelRush Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 ^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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo77 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The new park map is now out. Joker's Wildcard has been renamed Kryptonite with The Joker coaster getting set to open. https://static.sixflags.com/website/files/sfne_park-map-and-guide.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
