  • One of the 3 new RMC coasters coming in 2016 is in northern California at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom! It will be called The Joker, and is a makeover of the GCI wooden roller coaster Roar. Here I will be analyzing everything about this coaster and giving my full thoughts on this new addition!
    Full credit for the animation of The Joker goes to Discovery Kingdom.

    1:54 Roadrunner Express isn't the only non-inverting coaster at the park. There's also Cobra, remember? Yes, I know it's a family coaster, but it still counts. Also, Roar already had plenty of airtime, so It's hardly the first time Discovery Kingdom has ever had airtime.
    Either way, I think we can all agree that Six Flags has made some questionable decisions when it comes to new rides at Discovery Kingdom. I mean seriously, why did they feel the need to build Dare Devil when they already had Hammerhead Shark, which is basically the same ride, only floorless and dueling?
    Now they're going to tear down Roar, a perfectly fine GCI classic and replace it with a clearly-uninspired RMC coaster that is almost exactly the same, only with a few inversions needlessly tacked on. Don't get me wrong, the new layout still looks great, but it has no identity of its own nor any substantial reason to exist. Texas Giant and Rattler were both old, rough, and always breaking down, Magic Mountain's Colossus was experiencing structural problems that prevented it from operating properly, meaning it almost never raced, and so on. But roar? That ride was still relatively smooth, reliable, and forceful. Out of all the wooden coasters that could use a makeover, Roar would be near the bottom of my list. They're literally spending millions of dollars to fix what isn't broken.
    Another thing that boggles my mind is how they're not giving it a name like "Roaring Rampage" or something else that gives a nod to Roar. Instead, they're theming it to the Joker from the Batman series. How does that even remotely fitting? Sure, there's Superman: Ultimate Flight, but even then, the emphasis was on flight, thus fitting into the Sky section of the park. But Joker? Since when could the Joker fly? What's next, are they going to call their next new addition "Batman The Ride" and put it right next to the aquarium? It's as if Six Flags is trying to strip away the whole wild animal theme that gave the park charm in favor of pointless unoriginality.
    I guess they're just trying keep up with California's Great America, since they recently opened Gold Striker, which is more advanced than Roar. If that's the case, then I guess I can understand where they're coming from, but still...

      I totally agree with you. SFDK is my home park and I'm curious is to why they made these decisions. Especially marketing Dare devil as a coaster when clearly it's not. IMO for the 2016 season, Six Flags great adventure should've gotten the RMC roller coaster except not on El Toro that will be a horrible decision. More like an RMC Woodie. And SFDK get the 4D free fly coaster. that would be a great choice better than what they did for 2016.

    • @Dolphanatic
      @Dolphanatic 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      roller coaster crafter I'm still scratching my head as to why Six Flags chose to put Dare Devil in Discovery Kingdom in the first place, seeing they already have Hammerhead Shark, which is basically the same ride, only dueling and floorless. It's flat-out redundant.
      But I digress. I still think Joker looks great and I'm looking forward to its opening.

    • @rollercoastercrafter
      @rollercoastercrafter 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Dolphanatic yeah I'm really excited for the Joker. I think it'll be the best coaster I've ever ridden!

    • @soccerty1214
      @soccerty1214 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Dolphanatic I think they put Dare Devil in due to lack of space. Do you know how many coasters they have tried to put in the spot where Superman currently is? As far as I know, the first one was Zonga, which was unfortunately always closed when I was there so I never got to ride it. They replaced it with the Tony Hawk Spin cycle or whatever that one was called. Then they replaced that with Superman. DK has pretty limited space in the front of the park, where all but one of the coasters are. As much as I love Medusa (it's one of my favorite coasters), I think it was a mistake to put it in because of its sheer size. The coaster is huge in scale for the space they have and they probably could've put 2 decent coasters in the space it occupies. DK got the Dare Devil (I barely even count it as a coaster) probably because Six Flags wanted to put a new coaster in and it had to be a small one. I'm looking forward to going on the Joker when I'm there in a few months.

    I am going to have faith in this ride because I remember a year agi when every said that Wicked Cyclone looks lame. They said it was too slow, or not tall enough, or not intense enough, but it turned out to be amazing when it opened and I have heard that most people think that it is the best RMC hybrid. I haven't had the chance to ride a RMC hybrid yet or any RMC for that matter but I plan on riding Lightning Rod next year as well as Wicked Cyclone.

      +CanadaCoasterFan I actually. Some what agree to that though it's got great elements on the ride. I know if I ride wicked cyclone it would be amazing. Also for this new RMC that is coming to my home park. I'm so excited to ride this coaster next year.

  • @thecoasterchannel7991
    @thecoasterchannel7991 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I hope SFGADV gets an RMC in the Future. I guess it would be hard to design something that is not too similar to Toro. But SFGADV needs a new coaster to put them back on the map.

    • @SwiftGlitchers

      +Grimace The Menace That's not what I meant, I think Total Mayhem is Awesome, but it's not in typical Six Flags Fashion😀 But seriously, Gadv is the only MAJOR Six Flags park without an RMC. No Hate intended🎢

    • @SwiftGlitchers
      @SwiftGlitchers 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +TheCoasterChannel how can u come back on the map if u are already on the map, thats kind of illogical

    • @thecoasterchannel7991
      @thecoasterchannel7991 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just realized my posts really make no sense. Let me explain. I think Six Flags Great Adventure
      adds innovative, cool new Roller Coasters. However, I just don't think they make the best choices. Total Mayhem is a clone of Batman:The Ride at Fiesta Texas. I'm just saying their additions could be better if they were a little more original. And by "back on the map" I meant KK and El Toro can't keep Gadv. In operation for much longer. TM will help, but they need an Original new Coaster to push them over the top.

    2. Iron Rattler
    1 Twisted Collosus

    • @WildGuyWiley
      @WildGuyWiley 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +CoasterLover2001 But the Rattler was in awful shape and was one of the roughest coasters out there. It needed the RMC conversion. Roar at SFDK is a decent GCI and was nowhere near as rough as The Rattler at Fiesta Texas.

    • @foodie101-g3n
      @foodie101-g3n 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jacklw6499 True, The Rattler wasn't that great of a woodie. Also, Gold Striker isn't too far away from Discovery Kingdom and Roar has been losing popularity since it opened.

    @mackenziefritz8169 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    They also have Cobra, another Non-Inverting Kids coaster at the park. I actually enjoy the look of it, and I think it could be a really fun ride in the park.

      @mackenziefritz8169 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Swift lucasben V2's twisty moment is tilted at a 45 degree angle, which is considered an inversion to most riders.

  • @mattice5971
    @mattice5971 9 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I'm sick of hearing you complain about how Roar shouldn't have been RMCed. We get it; you think other parks deserve it better, which might be true. But look at it this way: Gold Striker, a new GCI at California's Great America, just opened and is 1000x better than Roar. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom wanted a leg up on their competition, so it made perfect sense to update an "okay" coaster. Also, since SFDK is in California, it has LOTS of room to grow and attendance to get, especially in NorCal. SFDK and CGA are the only true amusement parks in Northern California, so everyone who lives there is going to go to either Six Flags or Great America. The Joker adds another world class thrill and another reason to go to Six Flags, so obviously it makes sense to build it there.
    Also, it was extremely obnoxious to hear about how it looks like a "standard" RMC layout. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A STANDARD RMC LAYOUT! Yes, they may share some of the same elements, but each one is unique in its own way. Roar introduces the Step-Up Under Flip (first element after drop) and has a stall, a zero-g-roll, a curved drop, a breaking wave turn, and 15 airtime hills. While I understand it isn't as good as say Lightning Rod (no other roller coaster in the world is), it certainly seems like one of the best RMCs out there. To me it looks like another Wicked Cyclone.
    Now I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I don't want to come off as some annoyed fanboy but I did want to address how those things irritated me. I did agree with some of the points in the video such as how it sucks that they will no longer have a wooden roller coaster, but I was still mad about a couple of other things. Hopefully this coaster will turn out good and will be great for Six Flags and coaster fans everywhere.

    I rode it 4 times on Friday. once in front twice in back and once in middle. the weakest parts to me was the stall and the double camel hump that's posted under said stall. I didn't feel much if any ejection from the stall so it's more like just hanging upside down for a second or two. Lot's of airtime, more so in the back however. On a near full train there's *big* airtime at the finish.

      @tommycarr8111 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess they weren't expecting TC to be less intense than it was, and considering it only has two inversions and an average height it's clear to see why they did that. I think this one would also be considered a moderate thrill ride.

    @dlk5823 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I completely agree with you, this RMC looks good and I like the colours of the rails and they have put a lot of elements into the layout but it feels weak in terms of height, speed and ride length. I feel like SFDK could have done a non-inverting transformation though because as you said, it was the only big coaster which didn't invert. Thanks for the video and could you maybe do a video on the new dark ride going into Thorpe Park because I'm waiting for some details to be released and I can't wait as it's the park I visit most often. Thanks.

    @eliasmertens9313 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think that compared to all the other R.M.Cs, I would put this second to the bottom, above New Texas Giant, below Goliath. But I was just hoping that it'd be a little more relentless like Wicked Cyclone, Twisted Colossus, and Medusa: Steel Coaster. Meaning that I don't care if it doesn't go that fast, but I want it to have a constant pace that seems fast like with Wicked Cyclone. And I think the scariest part of the ride is trying to see if the train will make it over that last hop before the lift.

    Well, it's gonna get a lot slower. At 3 mph slower, twisted cyclone!.!. But still. It will be good for the park. Not matter how long and big it is, it will still be awesome. It will attract more people there, and i don't get the chance to ride an rmc close by that goes upside down. The closest one is dollywood, which I've rode, but it doesn't go upside down. So I'm pretty excited to feel it!.!.

  • @tommycarr8111
    @tommycarr8111 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    This looks like a 'family' RMC, which I think is a good thing. RMC should consider making brand new family wooden coasters, that aren't too tall or intense but still have good airtime and one or two inversions.

    • @eliasmertens9313
      @eliasmertens9313 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Tommy Carr I think to consider it a family coaster it'd have to stay right side up the entire time. But a while back I saw a fan made R.M.C redo of the Racer at Kings Island and they designed a family designated coaster that looked cool. The title is I think Racer Reloaded but all it was on the video was sharpening the crests on the hills to provide more airtime, an added high five element before the turnarounds, banked turns on the turnaround, and a steeper drop. Although I don't believe it should be done to that coaster, I do think that's an interesting concept for R.M.C and other parks to look into, a family hybrid or topper track coaster.

    • @tommycarr8111
      @tommycarr8111 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think family coasters can have inversions, most people would consider Revolution or Sooperdooperlooper family coasters, as well as Cheetah Hunt.

    • @eliasmertens9313
      @eliasmertens9313 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wouldn't consider Cheetah Hunt one since it has multiple launches, but I guess I could consider some of the older Schwarzkopfs such as Sooperdooperlooper, Revolution, and Scorpion family coasters. But hearing Revolution gets me SUPER EXCITED FOR 2016 AND THE NEW TRAINS! YESSSS!

      +IceEagleProductions Um, why is Twisted Colossus so low?

    • @IceEagleProductions
      @IceEagleProductions 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ben Justice i've been on it. there's like five good airtime moments, the rest are mediocre. weakest hybrid imo. the dueling makes the ride. the layout itself is so ehhh. people are saying it has the best airtime in cali when baby manta has more

    • @benjustice3027
      @benjustice3027 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      IceEagleProductions You probably rode it on a bad day.

    • @IceEagleProductions
      @IceEagleProductions 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rode it front, back, and row 6. Dueled every time. And I'm not the only one who thinks TC is weak. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's amazing (my number 9 of all time), but it just doesn't stack up against other RMCs

    • @benjustice3027
      @benjustice3027 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      IceEagleProductions Huh, weird because, most roller coasters enthusiasts find it to be an amazing RMC coaster.

  • @quinnreed5817
    @quinnreed5817 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yea. I wish Six Flags would have RMCed Roar at SFA first. Becuz SFA hasn't gotten a NEW coaster in a while but SFDK has. And SFA has Wild One to fall back one. But oh well. Great Video!

    • @brendanb5811
      @brendanb5811 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I hope the would RMC the roar at SFA first also because I live only 10 to 20 min from SFA and usually find myself going to Hershey or Kings Dominion because SFA hasn't had a new ride in a long time so I agree RMC the other roar

  • @yoshilover276
    @yoshilover276 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    If Six flags is putting an rmc in every park, six flags st. louis needs to get The Boss redone. The ride is almost 4 minutes long already and is extremely painful. RMC could do wonders with that ride. look it up.

      @oneandonlysound99 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I honestly agree. A lot of them look like minimal effort was put in, basically just over banking turns with steel track and not much airtime nor inversions for what it is supposed to be. This "Joker" formerly "Roar" just needed a retracking, they just did this because they could. Now ones like Wicked Cyclone, or Twisted Colossus, those will be the ones people remember. Of this type I mean.
