Six Flags St. Louis Announces THE JOKER™: Carnival of Chaos - New for 2024

Eureka, Missouri -- The crown prince's rein of terror begins today with the announcement of THE JOKER™: Carnival of Chaos coming in 2024.  Get ready to experience the Joker's twisted mind like never before.  Enter his funhouse and be immersed in the sinister world of Gotham's super villains. Next the Joker sends you off on a terrifying and thrilling adventure aboard his swinging pendulum


THE JOKER™: Carnival of Chaos, one of the world’s tallest pendulum rides, stands at a record-breaking 17-stories (172 feet) in the air!  This impressive giant disk will reach speeds up to 75 miles per hour, as it whips back and forth — higher and higher to give riders a staggering view of the world below them.  For even more chaos, the ride spins at it swings, creating a unique thrill experience. Manufactured by Zamperla, this Giga Discovery has a minimum height requirement of 52" and is scheduled to open Spring 2024

Rookie Racer (SFSTL)

 


Rookie Racer's track work is now complete and according to the park, they still plan on opening the ride this season.  Mind you, the park is already on weekend-only operations

The lift hill will be tire driven

Work is still being done on the station.  This will be the exit side

You will enter the station and load on the far side.  There is a stairway to get up here from the eventual queue line

The lift hill.  It appears that they are still working on the safety railing

The first drop is actually pretty impressive for a kiddie coaster

Here is a better look at the angle of decent

After the first drop there is a rather flat helix that turns to the right

Once you get into the helix it is basically the same height until you exit it

Here you can see the very slight height change in this helix.  Also you can see that the train will have plenty of room to go underneath the track

The next helix is a little more impressive and will probably pull some Gs

After exiting the second helix you take this meandering path at the bottom of the photo

Followed by this curve back into the station.  It appears that the only brakes are in the actual station

We noticed that they have put a pole in the middle of this helix.  We wonder if this will be where cameras are mounted for an onride photo

This is the exit ramp for the ride

This is where the queue line for the ride should go.
While the park has not released the Opening Date for the ride, they have promised that it will be released soon.  Once we have that date we will share it on our media platforms


Park Update (SFSTL)

 

Fright Fest prep is underway at the park

The Pet Cemetary has been set up near Colossus

The Palace Gardens Cemetary has also been set up

This thing is so cool looking

The Slaughter House marquee has been set up

Most of the Zombieville props have been set up near Spinsanity

Some visual progress has been made on the Carousel.  White paint has appeared

I am sure this will be amazing once the renovation is complete, but it sure is taking forever

The Rising Waters game stand near the entrance to the Mine Train has been removed

Fireball has finally returned!

I honestly do not remember the last time I saw this ride operational this season
