The Joker is a steel 4D Free Spin roller coaster in the Gotham City section of Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. S&S Worldwide built it to a design by Alan Schilke, and it opened on May 20, 2017. It became the park's second spinning coaster, after Pandemonium.
Riders sit in cars that stick out on both sides of the track and spin 360 degrees as the ride runs. The track climbs a 120-foot vertical lift and includes a 90-degree drop. RCDB gives a drop of 54 feet, a top speed of 38 mph and 1,019 feet of track. Each car seats eight riders, four across in two rows, and RCDB lists five cars.
Riders must be between 48 and 77 inches tall.
