Joker • Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Inversions Nice surprise! Fun

Massively "over-hated" coaster—likely due to its proximity to Twisted Colossus. It may not be quite as good as Twisted Colossus—one of the best coasters in the country—but Joker has a ton to admire regardless. Much like Maverick, it features a compact course packed with unique and interesting elements with pacing that doesn't really let up. It won't blow your socks off with intensity, but it will give you one of the most enjoyable rides on the west coast.

So Joker often gets considered one of the worst RMC's and yeah, that's partially true. But in a way, it's over hated. The word "worst" often comes with a bad connation, which isnt fair considering Joker still gives a great ride. Anyways, after listening to the weird clown laughing in the queue, you board into the typical RMC trains and get rolling through this fun prelift section. Then you crest the lifthill as you look down at a steep twisting drop in front of the entrance. After the insane ejector air on that drop, go into this weird inversion that gives pretty great hangtime. Go around a turn, and Boom! Another cool inversion! This next part is kinda dead though as you just go around an overbanked turn but then you get air on the next hill! Go get some more air in the double down and go into another overbank. The final inversion is low to the ground and is my personal favorite. Then one more airtime hill and hit the brakes. Back into the station with the clown laughing! Joker i wouldn't consider as good as Twisted Colossus because there just is a little more dead moments and the overbanks don't do too much for me. Overall, still a great ride and by far the best ride in Northern California.
