Theme:

Poltergeist is a dark force. The entrance to the queue line is like a Gothic castle with gargoyles. Once onboard the ride, you hear a ghastly sound just before zooming out of the station.


Debut:

Poltergeist has been terrorizing park guests since May 28, 1999 at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. It is the sixth of eight total coasters Six Flags Fiesta Texas has built. Joker's Revenge is SBNO(Standing But Not Operating).

Structure:

Poltergeist's track is yellow with turquoise supports. The seats are black with yellow restraints that come over the shoulders. The train cars are arranged 2 by 2.

Special Features:

Poltergeist launches riders from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. The rider is then thrown, flipped, and dropped through a twisted loopy track.

Inversions:

There are 4 inversions. After the LIM/LSM launch, there is a cobra roll (boomerang, 2 inversions). Directly after this is an immelman loop. After twisting, turning, and dropping, the ride ends with a flat spin (corkscrew)
