The Joker

Can't properly review this because I left the line after an hour, so though I want to leave a 1 star review I'll be fair until I can ride it. The S&S 4D is well known for being trash but there's so many things that baffle me about why Six Flags stuck with these. After S&S took over Arrow Development they got their 4D free spin patents, including X2 at Magic Mountain. A divisive, uncomfortable ride that some adore (I hate). From that they developed this ride system, a cheaper version essentially with a smaller footprint. It also has smaller trains seating a maximum of 8 people, running 2 trains when I was there. So, one is loading while the other runs. For context Batman can handle 1400 riders per hour and the max at Joker is 720. SF employee training doesn't seem to emphasize the importance of sending these trains out full either, so I saw several go out with empty seats when calling out for single riders could fix it quickly. Then there is the Fastlane. When I got to the stage in the line where I could see the meeting point of the Fastlane and standby lines, I saw the issue. The queue loads so slow that by the time the line is ready to move, another group would show up in the Fastlane. and the employee would let them go instead of the standby. I watched this for 20 minutes without our line moving an inch and finally gave up and left the park.

This ride has so many twists and turns, it is so fun to be spinning around in the cyclone of a rollercoaster that this is.

Underrated Ride I loved the crazy flipping and the unpredictable flips. I loved the stalled flips they gave forces and great hang time. I rate it a 8 out of 10 I just wish it had several more strong flips. Overall a fun and scary experience.
