The Joker (ride)

The Joker is an roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. Built by S&S Worldwide, an American ride manufacturer, the coaster is one of their "Free Spin" models. Since 2016, Six Flags has installed The Joker in one of their parks, with three more planned for 2017.

Riders will 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.

History
When originally announced in September 2015, The Joker at Great Adventure was given the name Total Mayhem. Then on January 27, 2016, Six Flags Great Adventure renamed the coaster after the DC Comics villain Joker. The new title on the coaster brings the total number of DC Comics themed coasters in the park to seven, the most of any Six Flags park.

On September 1, 2016, Six Flags announced that Six Flags Great America, Six Flags New England, and Six Flags Over Texas would install the roller coaster into their parks for the 2017 season.
