context_page_description: The Joker is a roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags New England, and Six Flags Over Texas. Built by S&S – Sansei Technologies, an American ride manufacturer, the coaster is one of their "Free Spin" models. Since 2016, Six Flags has installed The Joker in four of their parks.
  Riders zig zag along the track while flipping head over heels up to six times throughout the ride in a somewhat uncontrolled manner. Six Flags started installing more after the success of Batman: The Ride that opened in 2015 at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
context_section_description: Riders on The Joker begin by climbing along a 120-foot vertical rise. Then zoom over hills while pivoting forward multiple times, before plummeting into a steep raven drop. Next, riders subsequently change directions and get to enjoy a backwards flip, spinning backwards into another raven drop and then ending with a forward flip. The roller coaster uses an adjustable series of magnetic kickers to allow the cars to spin freely, based on factors such as gravity and rider weight in the cars. The park can adjust the degree of spin based on rider input, which will help them regulate the experience to average rider tolerance over time.
  All four coasters were designed by S&S, while the track was manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction.
  As the name suggests, The Joker roller coasters are themed to the DC Comics supervillain, Joker.
  At Six Flags Great Adventure, the supports are all black. At Six Flags Great America, Six Flags New England and Six Flags Over Texas, they have purple and green supports parallel to each other. At Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Over Texas, those coasters have 2 Joker signs facing back of each other while the ones at Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags New England have only one Joker sign.
