DILinator Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The Joker face IS creepy! But then, that's kind of the point! A) Clowns are naturally creepy, and the Joker is a take on the Clown motif, and B) The Joker himself is supposed to be creepy in an overly smily/sadistic kind of way! So I think they nailed it with that front car! I'm really, really hoping to get out there for the first time and ride it this fall while visiting my brother in California! It looks awesome!

laqueefa Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Anyone hear if there's an opening day scheduled? I tried to get a date out of the representative. She was about to blurt out an answer, but then caught herself and said it was going to be "Spring this year". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanTPM Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Great that they've finished track work, looking forward to seeing some testing now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyctophiliac Posted April 30, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mater Posted May 1, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire2box Posted May 1, 2016 Share 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 Share 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...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted May 1, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

johnnyknottsville Posted May 2, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3coasters Posted May 2, 2016 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
