yesac519 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Does anyone remember Jokers Revenge? No? Well it was a old backwords coaster by Vekoma that first exisited in Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Sadily in 2003 it was relocated to Six Flags New Orleans and called it The Jester. Now the ride is underwater. I miss that ride... Just though this was funny... http://www.coasterphotos.com/SFFT/joker.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twister II Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Is the Vekomaness of the ride safe backwards? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterkid20 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I rode it at SFNO in 2004, and I have to say it is a step up from the boomerangs and the SLC coasters, still has the usual headbanging but all in all it wasn't that bad. I thought it was going to be more brutal than it actually was, but it really wasn't as bad as most of the stuff from Vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I thought the boomerang at SFNO was a lot smoother than the Jester. The Jester was really rough, but, in a fun sense? I mean, it's fun because you're laughing because you're getting smacked around so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I rode it back in it's glory days at SFFT. It was a nice ride (first loops I did backwards...) I liked the theming for the queu (it was going through Joker's funhouse and such) I miss it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I remember riding it backwards at SFFT. It was actually pretty good that way. The best part of the ride though was the Funhouse queue and the giant button in the station. I think that funhouse is the only reason I went back to ride it a second time though.

coaster1 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Very crappy coaster and the park is glad they got rid of it. The funhouse and the button still exist and the button still works during Fright Fest .. strobe and all was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcajun Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Ride Ops at SFNO working Mardi Gras liked that ride the best. The queue house was next to open field and nice breeze always came through. It was the coolest ride to work in the section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
