Joker's Jinx Question
Joker's Jinx at SFA is loud. Really loud. As in, you can hjear it from the parking lot as you walk up to the park entrance and the ride is in the back of the park loud.
My question is this: Are all the Premier LIM coasters this loud? The only other one that I havge ridden is Flight of Fear at PKD, which I don't remember as being particularly loud. I would think that if it were as loud as Joker's Jinx that there would be the possibility of hearing damage from riding it. Granted I rode it before the OTSR's had been replaced with lapbars, so I might have had the memories of loud head-banged out of me...
I think it's more of a constant sound for a long length of time (like a concert or working with heavy machinery) that will damage your hearing rather than a quick 2-3 second burst like JJ gives. Although an explosion or a shot from a rifle will make your ears ring.
If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.

Well, it's like B&M's, the sound comes from the slight vibrations of the hollow track. If you've ever stood close enough to a B&M coaster, you'de realize that they are just as loud.
Yes. When I went to SFGAdv., the line for Medusa was HUGE. As the train goes over the twist over the queue, you need to plug your ears because it is so loud.
It does sound like a B&M though...too bad it doesn't ride like one & of coursse those spoilsports next door to the park always demand that it be closed for frightfest.
To remedy that problem I say they should enclose it ala FOF @ PKD,if not then just replace it with a ride that can legally operate through frightfest.
FoF's.

Um, How bout NO! Whine Whine Whine, Why can't we just deal with it not being open one little month during the year? Its a decent ride(i rode with the OTSR, can only imagine without, as long as its like FoF without, it must be good). If you lived near an amusment park with loud coasters, you wouldn't want to be woken up when you're trying to sleep for work the next day either.
People didn't just move next to SFA, SFA popped up over the years next to where people lived, and as a day sleeper(as of late), I agree that it should be closed during that time of year, if its that loud.

Same bodies, but obviously the restraints were redone.
At GAdv. you can hear Nitro, Chiller and B:TR from the parking lot, but Chiller is probably the loudest. If you're exiting when Robin launches, definitely cover your ears.

The Freezes and Poltergeist are loud too.
Next time you're in the queue for blizzard river just wait until a train launches on JJ,once it goes up into the cobra roll you'll definitely hear how loud it is.
