SFNO's Jester lift hill is nearing completion

Is there any reason to believe they would change the way it operated at SFFT? When it was Joker's Revenge, it operated both trains backwards. That fact was suppose to be the "Joker's" joke after you went through the fun house queue. I've ridden JR at SFFT and it was certainly a different experience but it really wasn't that special.

There is no reason to believe, but there is reason to hope for the option of backwards or forwards. This would be the time, if any, to change the direction of a train.

Here is the latest photo I have of Jester's construction. The lift hill is complete, along with the turnaround before the first drop:

Well, looks like they're sending both trains backwards....does make it easier to deal with the problem of choice...;)

The only other choice is not to ride.

Well.. Since a "jester" is a famous Mardi Gras drink, and it is a joker figure im preaty sure, it should of been the official Mardi Gras colors... Green, Gold, and Purple ;)

Yes it's all the same generic themeing we've seen before. Why not theme it with something totally abstract and never seen before. Like instead of "Jester," name it "Gesture" and theme it to different hand motions.....on second thought, just keep it "Jester" :(

Rideman has gone into great detail before the logistics for turning Arrow cars backwards. It would take SOME work but not as much as some would believe..

B&M's though.. That's a different story.
