The Joker's Jinx is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags America in Prince George's County, Maryland. The ride utilises linear induction motor technology to launch the train from 0 to 50mph in just over three seconds. Premier Rides, the manufacturer gave the trains an overhaul in 2002 and replaced the restraints with lap bars.[citation needed]
