At Six Flags America, one coaster is often forgotten by the coaster community. Joker’s Jinx. Although I haven’t ridden it, the steel mess of supports and tracks sure make this ride look like one heck of a thrill.
Opened in 1999, the coaster Premier Rides LIM. The model is called a Spaghetti Bowl and there are only 3 outdoor ones in the whole world, two of which are in the United States. This is the kind of coaster that draws crowds but doesn’t over power the skyline. Alot more parks could use more coasters like this such as California’s Great America, Six Flag’s Kentucky Kingdom, and surely a few more.
What do you think of Joker’s Jinx? Love it? Hate it? Leave your park thoughts.

Yes this is an amazing ride! the lines are never long but its just as good as the rest at the park! I rode that ride 4 times! one time we got back into the station and there was no one there so they launched us again! The ride operator was also cool! he would say 3…2… and launch it early to scare you. or, he would say,”um, we are having technical difficulties with the dispatch,” and he left us sit there for 10 seconds just waiting before he unexpectedly launched it again! the launch isn’t as intense as stormrunner or kingda ka’s, but its still a fun ride!

There are more than just two in the country. Fiesta Texas has a similar configuration called Poltergeist. KD and KI both have indoor models called Flight of Fear.
It is a great ride. I prefer to ride the outdoor models because the support structures are so close it is very unnerving. The launch is good as well. It is very similar to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

Pete, I said there was only two outdoor models in the country.
