Joker's Jink at Six Flags America, Upper Marlboro, MD

A difference between this coaster and the nearby Flight of Fear is Joker's Jinx doesn't run three trains, so the mid course brake was never added to this coaster.

Needing to have an additional block brake to operate three trains Flight of Fear stops the ride half the way through. Without the mid-course brakes and nothing to slow the train, the second half of Joker's is to put it lightly is absolutely insane.

Joker's Jinx sends you upside down four times while subjecting you to 4.5 g-forces as the train goes faster and faster. The final inversion is a corkscrew that whips you upside down before popping you up into the brake run.

Joker's Jinx was wickedly fun and is the best of Premier Rides catapult launch models. The question is when Six Flags America is no more what will happen to this coaster? It is either going to another park in the chain or it'll ride on as spare parts for the other three models that Six Flags owns.

Whistlestop Park was a new addition to Six Flags America when I visited here last. Whistlestop Park was a themed area geared for very little kids. With a junior sized train and four or five kids rides it was a really nice addition to Six Flags America. One would think that after putting money into building it Whistlestop Park would still be up and running but no. Like several other rides around the park it was closed, blocked by a wall, with the rides sitting partly or completely disassembled.
