I'm guessing the 20mph wind limit came about after the issue in Texas a couple weeks ago, if it wasn't already a manufacturer's recommendation prior to that.
I got to ride Joker 3x on Friday during the ERT. 2x on green and 1x on Purple. I must confess this ride is better than I thought it would be and it's not as bad as it looks in terms of all the flips (no nausea or vertigo, etc). I just kept saying WHOA! each and ever ride because of the unpredictability of the flips. I used the SRL for the first ride and I got on pretty quickly but that also could have been due to the rainy weather. I rode it near closing and waited maybe 10-15 minutes and was able to run around and get on again.
It's a solid addition.
Now I want to ride without holding on

Despite the drastic change in weather from yesterday to today, we were going for just the water park today to find out it's closed til this weekend. So then we decided to ride Joker instead which was also closed. So we had some lunch on our pass, rode Raging bull & left. lol I was wondering why Joker was closed & then was told all of them are so are we sure it's wind?
I don't think it is the wind since all 4 are closed and they have updated the website showing the ride as "Temporarily Closed", something may have happened on one of them that caused them to close the rides down for inspection and/or modification.
I read a rough translation for a S&S free spin that is also closed in japan. It was a very rough translation but it seemed to have something to do with the integrity of a safety device.....A recall maybe?
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
I really wish Six Flags would give us some info as to what is going on. Based on what this says, it's a sensor....sensor to what, who knows. My guess it's a sensor that detects whether or not restraints are locked.
Not bad, must've been a small error. I don't really care that there was no info on it, but i would've hoped that they would've possibly given us info on it if it would've carried on longer
I was definitely a skeptic when it came to these being added across the chain. But after riding a couple weeks ago, I have to say it's truly a fun ride. Legitimately the only coaster that I still get nervous about every single time I ride. With that being said, I wanna get back in line, as soon as we hit the brakes. Green Side is much better, but I like each for their own reasons. I'm not sure if this was mentioned before or not, but if you 're facing Batman in the station, you will be riding backwards on the first third. (and vice versa.) Not sure about the rest as I loose all sense of direction on the drop after hills. (I know this sounds really vague but I'm doing the best I can to describe it ) As for the SRQ, I waited 20 minutes and didn't move at all. Admittedly could've just been bad luck with having even groups. But I wanted to ride and the queue just under the tent was an hour if that. I was really impressed with how the line moves. Barely stood in one spot at all.
It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)
Hey guys and gals, it's been awhile since I posted, however I have a few questions about the Joker's lines. Now, I'm going to the park for my first 2017 visit on July 2nd, Sunday and I would like to know how long does the lines for the Joker get during the day? How long have you seen them? Three hours, four? If it says three, does it end up being really three or less then the posted time?
