Six Flags Mexico (SFM) Discussion Thread

I think Six Flags will put a better name than Spinning Coaster, hopefully

Though, Green Lantern will be one of the superheros with their own movie, then their movie loses popularity over the years, and they make a totally new one in 10 - 15 years, the Green Lantern in SFMM and SFGAdv was just named Green Lantern because of the movie, though Bizarro took its name on Superman and Medusa and Bizarro is way less known than the characters Superman and Medusa, so the coaster could be a lesser-known superhero.

It looks like Six Flags Mexico has announce a new attraction for the park!

But wait... It's not a new attraction it is just a retheme and rename of the Van Helsing Live! Experience attraction!

Could this be the "Big Announcement" that Jim Anderson has promised for the park? I hope not and hopes it's Pandemonium!

Pandemonium is probably going to SFM in late 2012/early 2013 if it is going there, so it would be announced probably in the summer time.

Pandemonium chilling' in Texas waiting for a move to Mexico.

Six Flags Mexico released a teaser video for The Joker (formerly SFDK's Pandemonium). It looks like they're planning some really nice theming! (Or "decoration" as some would prefer to call it.) Good step in the right direction for Six Flags if you ask me.

^ Looks pretty cool. It was always a fun ride, I think the tunnel at the end will make for a cool element.

The theming looks great! Queue line is going to scare those who are afriad of clowns.

Any talk about an opening date?

I really like the theming, and it's not a bad ride either. I hope Six Flags continues with attractions that have at least a little theming.

Looks great! I thought I remembered SFDK confirming that Pandemonium will not be going down to Mexico, but I guess this proves otherwise!

Theming looks good. I'm glad they choose the name "The Joker" instead of its spanish translation wich is "EL Guason".

Looks nice, I'm surprised by all the theming Six Flags put in this coaster. I wouldn't be shocked if only half of the "promised" theming is put in.

Same here. The proposed theming looks nice though.

Lots themeing for a Six Flags Coaster, if it turns out anything like the concept art, it will be great.

I actually have faith that it will turn out looking very close if not all the way like the concept art. In my opinion, the Dark Knight Coaster at SFM is the best looking and themed out of all of the others at SFGAm and SFGAdv

I wouldn't be shocked if only half of the "promised" theming is put in.

Same here. The proposed theming looks nice though.

Ditto, I will believe it when I see it.

This looks great! It's pretty sad/funny when you realize that this will be the second best coaster in the park.

A new adventure begins today at Six Flags Mexico with the announcement of the latest addition to the largest collection of roller coasters in the country. In the spring of 2013, the greatest nemesis of Batman - The Joker, will debut at the park with an incredible spinning coaster that will give visitors the most exciting experience of their lives.

 

THE JOKER is the eighth roller coaster at Six Flags Mexico. This experience completely new theme, will introduce visitors to the chaotic world of THE JOKER. The rise in passenger cars seeing four people front and sway as they rotate through fast turns, banked corners and thundering falls, all surrounded by traps in THE JOKER. The cars rotate independently so the experience will be different every time.

 

"Six Flags is always innovating with world-class entertainment to our visitors and we are confident that this time will enjoy the uniqueness of the experience of THE JOKER" said Roberto Baez, Public Relations Manager of Six Flags Mexico. "This game offers the combination of a popular DC Comics character theme with an exciting experience that children, youth and adults will want to try again and again."

 

THE JOKER is the first spinning coaster in the park and promises excitement and adrenaline for the whole family with over 400 yards in a convoluted path that takes you to a height of 5 floors and reached speeds of over 60 kilometers per hour.

 

Visitors can enjoy this amazing experience in the spring of 2013.

That car design looks really good. I'm glad they didn't just choose the generic car design found in all of SF's Pandemoniums.

Does the ride really reach speeds of 60mph? That seems kind of crazy for a ride that only reaches 5 stories.

I don't know where you heard that from, but the Joker goes 31 mph.

It's probably another victim of Google Translate. Any time you translate something that includes a measurement, it keeps the number but changes the scale according to the language. I'm guessing Six Flags Mexico used 60 kilometers per hour, which is likely correct.

It was in the article that was posted about The Joker coming to Six Flags Mexico.

I went ahead and fixed that. The translation switched kilometers for miles per hour, but it was meant to say 60 kilometers per hour.

^ Oh ok thank you for clearing that up. That being said though a 60mph spinning coaster would sure empty the stomachs of most if one was to be built.
