    Batman, Arashi, and Joker at SFGram have been up almost all the time. This can't be a coincidence. These three have that mechanism in the station, where as the others do not. If I had to guess, that directly affects the downtime these ones are experiencing.

    Yeah when I rode on the water park side I didn't get any flips either. The park side is much better. They should tune the water park side so it's similar to the park side, unless they were aiming for that side to be less intense, or better yet, tune both sides to the likes of Arashi!

    Seems I was lucky to catch it when I did.

    @WiCy#1 , I see this as them seeing it as a cheap coaster they can easily market. SFI really pushes Season passe and upgrades to that and if a ride is down and they have a season pass that just encourages then to come back. Which is a cruddy way to do business. They just need something they can market. If customer satisfaction and appeal was truly their goal you'd see fewer clones and additions with more thought. i mean out of the 3 newest rides I only see myself making a point to ride one of them and it's the small Rodeo replacement they didn't market.
    They should do something even the park side was not exciting enough to make me want to stand in line for it.

    The Joker at SFGAm doesn't have that mechanism in the station.

    Yeah I forgot to say when I went Saturday to ride for the first time someone said "They promised Six flips. What the f*ck was that. We didn't even get one". It's just so annoying

    I WANT to like the ride. However, I never got a flip. I do believe this ride has potential to be really good. It just isn't.

    Yeah, I over heard some kids at school talking about the joker, and they were like "We went to Six Flags on Sunday to ride the new roller coaster, and it lasted like 10 seconds and it absolutely sucked." I really wish they make it flip more, or at least make the purple side the same as the green side

    Apparently the SFGram, SFFT, and SFOT models have reopened. Will anyone be at the park today to check it out?

    Have a friend at the park, and she says that The Joker is open!

    ^That would be a huge addition for GE!! They really do deserve a new coaster. Just thinking off the top of my head, about major chain parks and it could be that GE and Michigan's Adventure are the two waiting the longest for a new coaster. Both must be over a decade now.

    it would be a big coaster for therm though it wouldn't stop the ride for sucking. After such a long wait I would hope they would get something better then this.
