The Joker Funhouse Coaster is a family-sized steel roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia near Atlanta. Built by Chance Rides, the compact coaster opened on September 4, 2004, as part of a wave of new attractions added to the park that year, originally debuting under the name Wile E. Coyote Canyon Blaster in the park’s Bugs Bunny World section.
In 2016, the ride was re-themed to fit Six Flags Over Georgia’s DC Super Friends area, swapping its Looney Tunes branding for a Joker-inspired funhouse concept. The coaster kept its original Chance Rides hardware, giving younger riders a gentle introduction to looping track layouts without any inversions or big drops.

The Ride Experience
The Joker Funhouse Coaster runs a single train of five two-across cars, carrying up to 20 riders per cycle through a compact circuit of banked turns and small dips. With a top speed of around 30 mph over roughly 900 feet of track, it’s built to deliver mild thrills rather than airtime or inversions, making it a comfortable match for riders who’ve outgrown kiddie rides but aren’t ready for the park’s bigger steel coasters.
True to its name, the attraction leans into funhouse theming along the queue and ride experience, tying into the surrounding DC Super Friends section of the park. The friction-wheel lift hill and all-ages layout keep the pace brisk, with the park advertising a capacity of about 1,000 riders per hour.
From Looney Tunes to the DC Universe
When it debuted in 2004, the coaster carried a Looney Tunes-themed name, Wile E. Coyote Canyon Blaster, fitting the park’s Bugs Bunny World area at the time. That theming lasted roughly a decade before Six Flags Over Georgia reworked the surrounding zone into DC Super Friends in 2016, renaming the ride The Joker Funhouse Coaster to match.
The rename didn’t change the ride’s mechanics — it’s still the same Chance Rides layout underneath the new paint and signage — but it reflects how Six Flags parks periodically refresh theming on family rides to keep them tied to current franchise branding.

Small enough to ride with on most coasters, big enough for a phone, card and keys. Two zippers mean nothing falls out upside down.
A fan and a mist in one, rechargeable. Very popular in queue lines once the afternoon sun hits.
Build a working coaster on the kitchen table and learn why the first drop has to be the tallest. A good gift for young coaster fans.
