What riders love

I like how you can freely flip while traveling speedily through the track.
You never know what you're gonna experience.
So much fun and always a smooth experience.

Immediately, I flipped twice.
We flipped a ton which made it insane, kinda glad it's not longer
It spun a lot more than the one at Six Flags Great Adventure, and more intense.

Didn't know what to expect with this one but it was way more intense than anticipated, my sunglasses nearly flew off I had to hold them.
There also was a lot of rocking around, including a part that I thought was going to flip me, but it didn’t.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags New England

The Joker at SFNE is amongst many Joker clones throughout the Six Flags chains that offers 4D spinning mechanics across a very smooth, but short track.
Clayton Latone

I thought this ride was going to hurt a lot, but surprisingly it was actually comfortable for me.
Coaster Potato

So much fun and always a smooth experience.
Max S.

At least it’s smooth!
The T.

While fun, the headbanging made this a one-and-done for me.
Dyna Mo

Didn’t know what to expect with this one but it was way more intense than anticipated, my sunglasses nearly flew off I had to hold them.
Keegan M.

The inversions and twists are intense, but it has low capacity and a very short ride time not to mention you having to wait a while once you get to the bottom.
Clayton Latone

It spun a lot more than the one at Six Flags Great Adventure, and more intense.
Wicked Cyclone

Genuinely one of the craziest and even scary rides I’ve over ridden.
Finn V.

The ride to isn’t as intense and to be honest, you barely notice yourself on the ride but rather just spinning.
@Herobigman

My ride on this was tamer than usual but fun nonetheless.
Jack Jack J.

Wish the throughput on this thing didn’t max out at like 6 riders per hour, then at least you could spam re-rides til you get a lucky run.
Mike Davis

I just wish it was longer because the ride has such low capacity that it usually has a very long wait.
Finn V.

Mike Davis, Captain Coaster review

A solid coaster that is pretty fun, a little too short and feels like it is at almost every single Six Flags park which kind of takes away from the ride.

Casey Maymon, Captain Coaster review

Even though it’s cloned throughout many theme parks, I really enjoy the experience.

Coaster Potato, Captain Coaster review

Keegan M., Captain Coaster review

slow throughput, inconsistency, and a short track are standard for 4D coasters and unavoidable.
