The Joker is the name of four S&S 4D Free Spin roller coasters currently operating at four Six Flags amusement parks in the United States, those being Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags New England. Built by S&S – Sansei Technologies, an American ride manufacturer, each of these steel coasters are versions of their "Free Spin" model. Since 2016, Six Flags has installed The Joker in four parks.
Riders zig zag along the track while flipping head over heels up to six times throughout the ride in a somewhat uncontrolled manner. Six Flags started installing more after the success of Batman: The Ride that opened in 2015 at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
