Marissa Leshnov / Special to The Chronicle Show More Show Less 2 of7 Overall, still a great ride and by far the best ride in Northern California.Vallejo firefighters Brett Bullock and Stephen Kay prepare for a thrill ride at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Back into the station with the clown laughing! Joker i wouldn't consider as good as Twisted Colossus because there just is a little more dead moments and the overbanks don't do too much for me. Then one more airtime hill and hit the brakes. The final inversion is low to the ground and is my personal favorite. Go around a turn, and Boom! Another cool inversion! This next part is kinda dead though as you just go around an overbanked turn but then you get air on the next hill! Go get some more air in the double down and go into another overbank. After the insane ejector air on that drop, go into this weird inversion that gives pretty great hangtime. Then you crest the lifthill as you look down at a steep twisting drop in front of the entrance. Anyways, after listening to the weird clown laughing in the queue, you board into the typical RMC trains and get rolling through this fun prelift section. The word "worst" often comes with a bad connation, which isnt fair considering Joker still gives a great ride. So Joker often gets considered one of the worst RMC's and yeah, that's partially true.
