Mid-Course Trims The trims on Joker's Jinx don't slow the train down to an almost complete stop like the trims on Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia do.

In the off season of 2004-2005, Six Flags began rehabbing the Joker's Jinx by giving it a fresh coat of paint. As you can see here, the coaster still hasn't been finished by Opening Day 2005. You can see the coaster still has quite a bit of primer on it.

Later in the season, the paint job is finished and the coaster looks as beautiful as it did when it opened at Six Flags America in 1999. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L job on the coaster, Six Flags.

Six Flags removed the painfully annoying Over the Shoulder Restraints (OTSR's) from Joker's Jinx and replaced them with three-point lapbars which makes for a much, much smoother ride experience.
