Nyctophiliac Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Am I the only one who finds the front car kind of ugly? I dont know what it is but it just does not appeal to me. But the ride itself looks awsome. When you are riding you wont see it! ^ This.
Mater Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Crossing my fingers RMC engineered the end of Joker to be a little more impressive than the one to Storm Chaser.
Fire2box Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Crossing my fingers RMC engineered the end of Joker to be a little more impressive than the one to Storm Chaser. I've seen the last little hill into the break run/repair station in person. There's no way there's not going to be a little pop of airtime.
Mater Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I've seen the last little hill into the break run/repair station in person. Same. I actually go every Sunday. I think the banking on that last turnaround really says it all. This things gonna be hauling äss from start to finish. (Though technically the same thing could have been said about that weird little overbank on Storm Chaser too...)

When you have to compete with a coaster like Gold Striker an hour away, you better make that thing haul ass through the whole course!
singemfrc Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Joker's first test run happened this morning! https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdiscoverykingdom%2Fvideos%2F10154160024497743%2F&show_text=0&width=560

When you have to compete with a coaster like Gold Striker an hour away, you better make that thing haul A$$ through the whole course! not once the GCI coaster starts shaking itself apart like Roar and Terminator/Apocalypse. I've still yet to ride gold striker personally, but I got a free ticket to the park for most of the season. I'll likely hit it and Mass Effect up at some point.
thedlr Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 What an awesome Sunday surprise! Gotta figure out a trip to the bay this year.
chickenbowl Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 The latter half (basically everything after the stall) look phenomenal! It really keeps it's speed for a first test run!
johnnyknottsville Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 ^ My thoughts exactly and once this thing breaks in and with a full train I believe relentless will be the perfect word to describe this awesome looking RMC creation
i<3coasters Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 I'm so thrilled to see how this stacks up against Wicked Cyclone, which is currently sitting as my favorite RMC. Hoping to make a weekend trip up to SF sometime this summer and spend a day riding this thing! Can't wait to see some more footage. Every element of this ride looks great so far though.
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Looks great! With some luck, I may head up there this summer and get some more use out of my Six Flags pass. With Superman and now Joker, I'm very very tempted.

I've only been on 3, but Wicked Cyclone is my favorite by far. My friend has been on almost all of them (I think all except Medusa and possibly Goliath) and says Wicked Cyclone is his favorite by far and also #2 fave steel coaster. Joker reminds me a bit of Wicked Cyclone, so I'm really excited to compare the two once this opens. I'll be super pumped if ours blows theirs away, because Cyclone blew me away so much.
chickenbowl Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I have ridden 6; all currently operating except SC and WC. Here's how I'd rank: 1. Outlaw Run 2. Medusa Steel 3. New Texas Giant 4. Iron Rattler 5. Twisted Colossus 6. Goliath I expect Joker to end up around NTG and Medusa. It looks really great!

I've been on Goliath, Twisted Colossus, and Wicked Cyclone, so Joker will be #4.
CoasterKid93 Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I've never ridden an RMC creation before, so I'm beyond thrilled to be getting one nearby!
Vonni Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I've only been on Outlaw Run, but it immediately jumped to my number one spot!

I305forever Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I can't believe people rank Twisted Colossus over Goliath. I would rank them both at the bottom of my list though.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I can't believe people rank Twisted Colossus over Goliath. I would rank them both at the bottom of my list though. Goliath is good for the drop, but TC when it duels is just something else. They're pretty close in my mind but Wicked Cyclone blows both away.
Superbatboy Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I can't believe people rank Twisted Colossus over Goliath. I would rank them both at the bottom of my list though. Maybe because Twisted Colossus has more than 5 elements
