The Jester, Steel roller coaster in Louisiana, US.

The Jester is a steel roller coaster featuring multiple inversions and steep drops that generate intense forces throughout the ride. The track design incorporates spiral sections that twist through the structure with trains carrying up to 24 riders.

Built by Vekoma, the ride opened on May 10, 1996 at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio as The Joker's Revenge, the first Vekoma Hurricane in the United States and the first Vekoma coaster to run a full circuit backwards. Closed in 2001, it was dismantled in late 2002 and moved to Six Flags New Orleans, reopening as The Jester on April 13, 2003. Hurricane Katrina flooded the park on August 29, 2005, ending operation; the coaster stood abandoned until its demolition in 2024.

The Jester stood in the Mardi Gras section of Six Flags New Orleans, and its name and jester figure tied it to the carnival season celebrated in the city each year. Its predecessor at Fiesta Texas, The Joker's Revenge, had a funhouse queue with flashing lights and upside-down furniture; that queue was reused for the park's Brutal Planet haunted house during Fright Fest.

The coaster has stood closed and unreachable inside the fenced Six Flags New Orleans site since the park shut after Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, and it was demolished in 2024, so there is no ride to board. Its trains ran backwards through the whole circuit, the only Vekoma Hurricane to do so; the other, The Comet at Walygator Parc, runs forwards.

The Jester was the only Vekoma Hurricane in the world to run its whole circuit backwards; the other, The Comet at Walygator Parc, runs forwards. Its two trains were built by Arrow Dynamics, and the ride's funhouse queue with flashing lights and upside-down furniture was later reused at Fiesta Texas for the Pandemonium queue.
