A few pictures and video at http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/sixflags/33238/
And more pictures http://www.gainsider.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=407

not even this can replace the Chiller =(
the chiller was one of a kind

R.I.P

looks fun..

Just got back from riding...
Well..Wasnt good at all
Me and my friend thought it was kinda horriable.
Everything up to the actual ride itself was good.
It was a dissapointment

what does it look like on the inside. i am really confused when it comes to the laytout of the ride.

OK well You go through the line, then into the preshow area
where they show a clip[of what im guessing from the movie] then the clip goes all crazy[joker taking over] then "HAHA"&"why so serious" appear on the walls.[also, durin this there is still "a line" to keep it organized]
Then a door opens and you continue to walk.. and its like a control room looking theme i guess
and eventuall you walk up, and theres this screen, and you look at it and it puts a joker face on yours[ as seen in-


Then you enter the "station" portion where you board the trains, the trains really never stop moving, their always in motion, and you board.
then turn right out of station and go up lift.
I belive its the same layout as[but reversed]

I actually didnt take notice of alot of themeing and it was kinda fast to take it all in.
