THE JOKER'S JINXTM

Description: Located in the new Gotham City themed section of the park, The DC Comics themed LIM (linear induction motor) coaster, The Joker's Jinx, blasts riders from 0-60 mph in just over three seconds. This 500-ton steel maze stretches 2,705 feet of twisting, turning track through 30 vertical curves, 25 horizontal curves and four upside-down loops. A deviously convoluted ride, The Joker's Jinx promises to keeps passengers guessing (and screaming) for the full 90 second ride!
Technology: No lift hill required! A set of 44 linear induction motors create a traveling magnetic wave that pushes the train from a stationary standpoint to very high speeds in a very short period of time.
