Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

Located right next to his nemesis Batman: The Ride in Six Flags Great America's Yankee Harbor area, The Joker taunts riders from this bank of screens as they queue up under the big top for his "Carnival of Criminals".

The Joker is certainly is going to give you a front seat row at his big top of mental instability as the ride will mess with your head and give you give you a schizophrenic episode.

One side of The Joker's track is painted green and the other side if painted purple.  Each side and each car gives a different ride experience so your choice is an important one.  Watch the ride while waiting and look for which car seems to flip the most and which side flips the least.  After observing and thinking on what sort of a ride you want make your pick.

Like the six other S&S 4D free fly coasters The Joker has spin inducing magnetic fins placed along the rides undulating track.

The job of the spin inducing fins; which you can see just after Joker crests the vertical lift in this photo, is to give each car a little additional forward flip to get the "free fly" party started.
