Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has unveiled an exciting, new roller coaster inspired by and titled after The Joker that will be open and ready to ride in Spring of 2016.
“The Joker will be the most talked about new coaster in 2016,” said Don McCoy, park president, in a press release. “We are excited to introduce this innovative technology that marries the best of both classic and modern coaster designs to offer our guests an unparalleled and unique experience.”
With the design inspired by The Joker’s unpredictable, the coaster features chaotic twists and turns, including a first ever “step-up under-flip inverted roll” that takes riders horizontal, and a “fake-out” with a unique breaking wave turn, the only one of its kind on the West Coast.
Here are some of the details about The Joker:
- 3,200 feet of dual-colored purple and green track
- A wild Zero-G barrel roll
- 3 inversions
- 15 extreme airtime moments
- Maximum speed of 53 mph

As if this weren’t enough, Six Flags Over Georgia has announced today that they will be opening a DC Super Friends themed area of the park as well as a neighboring area they titled Bugs Bunny Boomtown in 2016. These two new additions to the park will feature 12 rides and attractions.
“These two new sections of the park will offer families hours and hours of fun with attractions mom, dad and the kids can experience together,” said Park President Dale Kaetzel in a press release. “This latest expansion continues our multi-year plan to provide thrills for guests of all ages and includes the addition of Hurricane Harbor in 2014, two new devious rides in Gotham City in 2015 and other additions planned for the future.”
