So today is Six Flags big announcement day and the biggest new ride for 2016 is going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. As we pretty much already knew, Roar (a GCI woodie) is getting the RMC treatment and will become The Joker.

Looks yet another thrilling and legthy layout from RMC full of fast inversions and airtime. Loving the colours of the track as well!
Six Flags said:The most anticipated new coaster to come to Northern California in 10 years will open in 2016, THE JOKER. The ride will feature a state-of-the-art experience that combines both classic and modern coaster designs. As the second DC Comics-themed attraction at the park, THE JOKER features 3,200 feet of dual-colored purple and green steel track atop a wooden base.
On this new adventure, you'll race through chaotic twists and turns, including a first ever step-up under-flip, inverted roll, that takes riders horizontal. THE JOKER also has a unique breaking wave turn, the only one of its kind on the West Coast. Additionally, you'll tackle a wild Zero G barrel roll, three unbelievable inversions, and 15 moments of airtime like you've never experienced before at ride speeds up to 53 miles per hour.
