The Joker is a 4D Free Spin roller coaster that opened May 28, 2016 at Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park in Jackson, New Jersey, USA, manufactured by S&S Worldwide. The roller coaster is expected to open summer of 2016.[1][2]

When originally announced in September 2015, The Joker was given the name Total Mayhem. Then on January 27, 2016, Great Adventure renamed the coaster after the DC Comics villain Joker.[1][3] 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.

Ride

The Joker is an S&S Worldwide '4D Free Spin' roller coaster where riders zig zag along the track. Riders can flip head over heels up to six times throughout the ride in a somewhat uncontrolled manner.[3] The ride is second of its kind behind the success of Batman that opened in 2015 at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.[2][4] The coaster is located where Fort Independence was on the southern-most point of the park, along the lake. It was hoped the ride would open in March of 2016, though it opened Memorial Day Weekend of 2016.

The coaster opened to the media on May 26, and was open to season pass holders and active members on May 27. The coaster opened to the public on May 28, 2016.
