Rocky Mountain Construction was contracted to perform the renovation using the company's patented I-Box steel track technology married to the existing wooden support structure. On September 3, 2015, the park revealed plans to resurrect and convert Roar into a steel-tracked coaster called The Joker for the 2016 season. In July 2015, Six Flags announced plans to permanently close Roar on August 16, 2015. The coaster featured a height of 94 feet (29 m), a first drop of 85 feet (26 m) and a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
When it debuted on May 14, 1999, Roar was the park's first wooden roller coaster and one of its first rides overall during the transition of adding amusement park rides to the marine mammal park. Roar was a roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom constructed by Great Coasters International. The original Roar roller coaster was constructed by Great Coasters International and opened in 1999. This hybrid configuration was implemented by Rocky Mountain Construction and is themed to the Joker, a comic book character villain featured in DC Comics publications.
The ride opened on May 29, 2016, as a rebuild of former wooden roller coaster Roar, adding a new steel track on top of Roar's wooden support structure. The Joker is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California.
