New Ride(s) for 2017

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

EVERY year Six Flags screws up the website somehow and stuff gets out before they intend it to. You'd think they'd learn a d not post it until the last minute, but then every year...

So a Joker themed S&S Free spin, positioned right in front of Batman in the ERC and JWR spot? I can see the logic there. And I'd be OK with leaving the RC spot empty again, if indeed that's what they're doing, as long as they have bigger plans with it, maybe involving the flume areas...

I Am really angry right now. The Joker was the ONLY name I didn't want besides Harley Quinn Spinsanity. WHY?? This better be a flat and not a coaster

Here's my thing with over Texas's joker. I have a hunch that one isn't a 4d joker, but a super loop joker. Mostly because of the teasers, though. Maybe it's a red herring? I'll never know.

I am fine with a 4D free-spin,but whatever happened to an original name? There are too many superhero themed rides, it would be way better with an original theme/name.

I'll never get why people get so upset over reused names. What's the difference if another park has a ride called the Joker? We don't. That's all that matters to me.

Better for who? Not for Six Flags marketing, and that's all they care about...

I don't care that it's re-used, I care that it sounds/looks stupid. Coasters don't look good with Joker or Harley Quinn themes in my opinion, so I'm really hoping this is a Larson Superloop. Over Texas, you can have the Free Spin

EDIT: HA!!! NEW ENGLAND IS GETTING IT TOO https://www.sixflags.com/newengland/attractions/joker

You have some really strong and particular opinions on things. It's a name, what's the difference?

Is it bad that I wish he hadn't been banned, just to see his reaction?

Because why do we have to get a Joker coaster? It's a stupid theme, in my opinion. Bad color scheme also. I just wanted a generic theme, I'm tired of DC Themed Rides.


I'm crossing my fingers that this a Superloop

Looked through the page source and found pretty much nothing. Six Flags has actually done a good job by not updating the website before the announcement. Interestingly, I found one link in Resource>Images that leads to nowhere, It does have "Joker" in the link. This is the only thing unrelated to TDK or JLBFM codes on the site.

Look below: Two images referred as "0" are the broken links.

I guess we're not getting that launched coaster in 2018...

I'm probably going to spend the next 24 hours searching for another name on the site....

Because Six Flags clearly has research that Joker things do better than generic things? That's got to be the reason why SFGAd had theirs change like it did. And there seems to be a pretty good chance that it'll be in front of Batman, which is good as far as theming goes.

I get that this is just a personal thing and I'll never get it, but why is a Joker Superloop ok but a Joker Free Spin not?

If they'd truly done a good job, they wouldn't even have the restricted pages up yet. And there's still another night for them to screw up...

2 years ago when the freespin came up on the park survey I said they should give it a DC Comics theme. I guess they listened to me...

^^ A superloop isn't a big deal, it's just a flat ride, and the color scheme looks fine to me personally. However, I don't like Joker at SFGADv's color scheme and I was really hoping for the coaster (If that's what we're getting) to be named Apocalypse or Meltdown, which to me are much cooler names.

In web design terms, you can't just take down the entire site to update it in the middle of the day so some assets have to be uploaded to the domain before it goes live. This way, when the site reaches a certain time and date everything is visible to whoever goes there.

I used the same method of poking around source code to rip images from this site:

Doesn't that mean there's 2 names then? I swear if the other one involves Harley Quinn....

^Possibly. One URL has no hints as to what it's name might be. Only the one I highlighted in the screenshot has a ride name in it.

Sad that they're using real estate for the free spin, but hopefully others will enjoy it.
