Official 'The Joker' Topic

Yay. But let's discuss this in the Cubs thread (I think there's one in the Off-Topic Forum)

[CoastsToCoasters]

Show jesters...it was there on Friday.

[RollingCoasting]

I saw a picture on Instagram that only featured the purple base. I'll try to find it

7:00 P.M. EDIT: Jiggidy posted a video showing it:

Can confirm. Last night:


Sorry about it being so dark, but you can clearly see the lack of a car

Welp it's gone!! Also love the new sig GuyWithAStick

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

^Thanks! It was made by Valleyfair! on CoasterForce, so props to him. I actually had it for quite some time, and just today put it on SFGAmWorld. :p

I hope we'll get to see some more work soon, they don't really have too much deconstruction they can do while the park is open.

[CoastsToCoasters]

Over Texas is hauling. I'd say our park & New England are on par with one another in terms of we were are. We've both deconstructed attractions to make room & done minimal ground work.

from an Instagram pic a saw new England has some footers already.

Maybe Jokers cancelled and we're getting a giant discovery

JWR is officially gone:

Another all black night time photo. lol I see nothing, but I take it that's the point haha

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

Yeah, sorry, my phone doesn't have the greatest camera in the world lol. But yeah, that is supposed to be the JWR plot, which has nothing left.

In other news, the hub cap for Orbit is now gone. Hopefully someone finds it, it'd be one nice thing to hang on your wall!

[GOLI4TH 2014]

Orange markings in former Cajun pad. Most likely for supports.

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

Can confirm- New Concrete has been poured under the bridge, markings for probable footers are on pad, and more gravel is being pushed against the old RC queue.

In other news, Orbit is slowly being dissembled, with the arm beginning to come apart. Everything from Six Saints Cemetery is gone, but ERC is still there, which does seem counter-intuitive if they're putting the ride up before winter(I'd assume they'd put it back stage for the winter, giving it a full revamp before assembling it?).

Getting more and more excited for this as time goes on. Can't wait to ride this!

[RollingCoasting]

I'm not as excited as I was September 1st, but I'm still looking forward to it. The placement smack in the middle of the path still kind of bugs me. As Cam stated in another thread, it'll just look like a huge wall.

Does anyone know when more details will be announced? (No Coaster Con, I assume?)

[CoastsToCoasters]

I was really hoping we would get some nice new graphics/renderings. The simple ones we have now are very ...digital looking. Goliath had new ones released later on in the winter but that was due to a change in the design we previously saw. So they prob won't do it for Joker. But we have the real things to look forward to I suppose right?

[Goku1910]

This will probably look great!! Is the bridge moving over or is it going to be a completely different structure?

I doubt it'll look great, that bridge will now be a concrete slab surrounded by blacktop. I doubt it'll be all that appealing. I really wish SFGAm would take a year to skip any new attraction and just improve park scenery. Look how they butchered Hometown the passed few years.

As someone who just started recently going back to the park after a 15 year hiatus, I couldn't agree with you more. It's amazing how much of the park has become asphalt and peeling paint.

It seemed like maybe they were going to do this in 2015 when they said they were going to "completely refresh" Hometown Square (or something to that affect) and then they did almost nothing. Alas.

I'm kinda sad that there is no webcam......I enjoyed watching Goliath being built.

Knowing Six Flags, construction won't really kick off until the new year. Only reason they started so early is for ground work....before it freezes.

How has the park become asphalt the only new asphalt area added in the last 15 years was for metropolis plaza and still that is mostly concrete.

On the bright side, these things are about exciting to watch go up as a Super Loop.

Curious about this. Any links to the original design?

^If you look on RCDB, there are a few images of the first renderings. However, the current design was originally planned.
