Theming Comfort Fun Intensity
This is a fantastic family coaster, theming is nothing short of amazing in on and around the coaster with a great preshow and beautiful looking trains. The ride itself is fun and graceful with some great elements especially the first launch which is very punchy backwards (on cycle 1), however I do feel that the second launch is lacking as is the ride in general in terms of intensity. This ride is so unique and a perfect fit for the park.

Inversions Comfort Fun Too short Capacity
This ride is a perfect entry level thrill coaster, with good inversions (specifically the zero g roll), decent pacing and mild intensity, whilst also being very comfortable. It has good theming the signing outside, the station/queue and the billboard all make it look great. It is a great fit for the park and a solid thrill coaster. However they need to invest in another train to help with capacity.

Fun Too short
Very fun ride that in my opinion is very intense, but is a bit too short. As an old vekoma, it doesn't rattle too much, and I found it very interesting especially in the backwards part.

Theming Fun
Nothing marvelous, but nobody can say that riding a coaster while clapping along Offenbach cancan music isn't fun.

First Drop Intensity Layout Headbanging Discomfort
The face-down first drop remains the best drop of 550 coasters I've ridden. It's an incredible adrenaline rush. For some reason, it's scarier than Eejanaika's similar first drop. I only wish X2 had the smoothness of Eejanaika. My first ride on X2 (inside rear) was perfection -- smooth & intense & crazy. I thought, "Is this my new #1?" But my next 3 rides (various seats) had annoying headbangs and calf bangs. One time, my head hit the seat back so hard that I was seeing stars. Still, it's a top 30 coaster for me. It would be in my top 5 if it didn't smack my head and calves.

Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity Harness Discomfort
Most underrated coaster at Cedar Point. I expected a smooth but forceless wing coaster, but got three super intense rides in the middle of the train. I didn't get to ride in the front or back but i imagine it would be quite a bit better. Definitely don't miss this ride when you visit Cedar Point!

Airtimes Pace Intensity Too short Capacity Harness
I got several rides on Wonder Woman at fiesta during my visit to six flags fiesta Texas and my god it was an extremely aggressive coaster. Iron rattler was sadly closed during my visit to fiesta so this is my favorite coaster at fiesta and my overall favorite coaster in Texas. I highly recommend making this your first ride of the day cause of the long lines and bad capacity. In terms of seat selection I STRONGLY RECOMMEND sitting in the back cause the power of the drops MUST be felt in the back trust me it is INTENSE. The restraints aren’t the best cause they are shoulder harnesses and I would have preferred a lap bar I think this would have just been absolutely mental with just lapbars. But the good news is the ride isn’t really uncomfortable. Once dispatched you ascend the lift hill. At the top you round a turn with some good laterals especially in the back and then you head down the vertical 100 foot drop. And this drop is one of the best drops on any coaster. You have a little speed going into it and the crest is super sharp so in the back you get some incredibly powerful and sustained ejector airtime. Heck you even get some floater in the front and your dangling over the drop in the front but you absolutely have to be in the back to feel the full power of that drop. Funny thing is that it’s probably not even the best drip in the park as I assume iron rattlers drop is better. The valley has strong positive g forces. Next is the dive loop and this is easily one of the best inversions in the world. Up front you get a powerful pop of ejector airtime entering it and then a very snappy twist downwards but in the back you only get a little floater entering it but then you are violently dragged around and down. The whip and laterals are insane and the snap is violent. I can’t believe a dive loop can pull forces like this. Next is the best moment on the ride which is the twisted airtime hill. And this moment is INSANE. Everyone is violently ejected out of their seats and the airtime is very sustained. And you also get some intense laterals while getting some of the strongest ejector airtime of any coaster. This element has been reported to pull almost -2 gs closer to -1.75gs which is insane. With the insane airtume and lateral combo this is one of the best airtime moments of any coaster. You then twist upwards into the s bend. The twist gives strong and sustained positive g forces causing me to grey out a little and the s bend has very abrupt snaps. Next is the drop off the s bend and this is honestly better than the first drop. You have so much speed entering it and the crest is sharp so in the back you get some of the strongest and most powerful airtime of any coaster. This element has been reported to have even stronger negative gs than the twisted airtime hill at almost -2gs and I believe it. You’ll get powerful ejector even if your not in the back row. Next is a cutback with great whip. Then is a zero g roll with great hangtime and good whip. Then is a very forceful turn and then you hop up into the brakes giving a powerful burst of ejector airtime. And that ends one of the most relentless, aggressive and intense coasters in the world. This thing is an absolute powerhouse and you need to get to fiesta to ride this thing. The only minor cons are it’s short length and shoulder harnesses but this ride has some of the best quality of an RMC. This ride just tears through its layout insanely fast it’s cartoonish how fast it travels through its layout. This thing has some of the best pacing ever I just can’t believe the pacing of this ride.

Inversions Launch Dead spots Lap Bar
Except for theming, I think Joker's Jinx is slightly better than the Flight of Fear clones. I like seeing the twisted layout with all the headchoppers, and the restraints seemed more comfortable (but still pretty bad- as usual for Premier). Otherwise the launch felt the same, and the train still goes pretty slow through the middle of the layout. Shoutout to the operators for having fun surprising riders with the launch timing.

First Drop Ejectors Duration Rattle Lap Bar
This ride has several elite ejector moments, including the first drop. The helices are also fairly intense. Unfortunately it has a pretty significant rattle, and the lap bars are super uncomfortable. I still think it's the best coaster at the park.
