Joker • Six Flags Great Adventure

Airtimes Fun Capacity Discomfort

This was the second 4D free spin I rode after Arashi, and I was kind of let down. Compared to what I remembered Arashi being, Joker was more uncomfortable and did not flip as much. It's not uncomfortable to the level of Zacspins, but it does take a way from the enjoyment a little. I almost put "Pointless" as a Con (I didn't because almost every ride exists for some purpose and its not a good term) because it has low capacity at a popular park and they could have gotten a better Wing/4D coaster. However, I didn't because that's probably not gonna happen because Six Flags is like that. As with most free spins, i enjoy the moments of airtime, but it's only a meh ride aside from that.

Fun Capacity Reliability

While S&S Free Spins can be fun, this one has issues. The queue set-up they have for this ride takes ages, and the park procedure has the ops be sticklers about literally anything in your pocket; it's not even just phones, myself as well as some other people I saw were kicked out of line for having stuff like chap stick and candy in their pockets. If that wasn't annoying enough, the ride literally broke down 8 times while I was in queue/on the ride, often stranding people on the ride for like 20 minutes while maintenance crews attempted to get the ride moving again. From my conversations with the ride-ops it would seem that such unreliability is the normal operations of this ride, with all of them saying that Joker is the shittiest ride to work and maintain in the park due to how often it goes down. Unless you're that dedicated for the credit, I'd probably avoid this one.
