Previous Tenants of the Boardwalk
Fiesta Bay Boardwalk has had a fair amount of attractions added and removed since its addition to the park in 1994. Previous to Pandemonium, a Vekoma Hurricane coaster named Joker's Revenge, stood in the same place from 1996 to 2002. In 2003, Joker's Revenge was relocated and opened at Six Flags New Orleans as The Jester. The attraction operated at Six Flags New Orleans until the disaster of Hurricane Katrina. Today, the queue house for Pandemonium, though no longer fully used, is the same queue house from the days of Joker's Revenge.
Pandemonium is located in the park’s Fiesta Bay Boardwalk section.
Pandemonium’s spinning nature guarantees that no two rides are the same.
Riders of Pandemonium face each other during each cycle.
The Tony Hawk Era
Between 2007 and 2008, Six Flags installed four spinning roller coasters at Six Flags Over Texas, Fiesta Texas, Discovery Kingdom and Six Flags St. Louis. All of these attractions, inspired by the pro skater Tony Hawk, were painted red and black. The trains were themed around skateboards and the queue lines were also themed with informational boards that showcased the history of skateboarding.
In 2010, Six Flags began canceling licensing agreements with various brands. One of these brands was Tony Hawk. In 2011, Tony Hawk’s Big Spin at Six Flags Over Texas was renamed Big Spin. In 2012, Big Spin was renamed Pandemonium. When Discovery Kingdom removed their model, the ride was relocated to Six Flags Mexico and named The Joker.
