Six Flags St. Louis - Joker - NOW OPEN!

 

Joker Carnival of Chaos has finally opened for the season.

I wish that new rides opening late in the season (as in during Fright Fest) wasn't a thing at Six Flags St. Louis, but here we are once again

With that being said, the fun house portion will not open this season

So for right now, they are using the bypass around the funhouse

They are currently not assigning seats but there is still a grouper counting off riders

The loading process is extremely long thanks to the design of the floor.  It just takes a long time

The ride features boxes (like what you see here in the corner) that blow out smoke during the ride

There's a sound track that plays the entire time the ride is in motion that adds to the fun

Joker and Rookie Racer have some interactions.  It looks closer than it really is

The ride is proving very popular and the lines are quite long

It is amazing how different this area of the park looks now with these additions
