The Joker, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags México, Mexico City, Mexico.
The Joker is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags México in Mexico City. It features eight separate spinning cars with four seats each positioned along a track that takes riders through a series of twists and turns.
The ride was originally built in 2008 at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in California under the name Tony Hawk's Big Spin. It was relocated to Mexico City in 2013 and renamed.
The ride design incorporates elements of dynamic movement through its spinning cars, creating different experiences for riders based on weight distribution.
The ride completes a cycle in just under two minutes and moves about 1400 riders per hour through its loading area. Wait times vary depending on the day and season, so visiting during off-peak hours helps minimize standing in line.
Each of the eight cars spins independently based on track angles and how weight is distributed among riders. This means no two journeys are exactly alike, as the rotation and pace of each car varies with every run.
