 When Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas was bought out from Time Warner in 1996 (the current owners of Six Flags at the time), they helped rebrand the park into Six Flags Fiesta Texas.Time Warner saw the opportunity to advertise and promote their latest movies through their Six Flags parks, so they added "The Joker's Revenge", the first "Vekoma" "Hurricane" roller coaster in the United States and the first Vekoma roller coaster to run backwards a full circuit in the "Fiesta Bay Boardwalk" section next to and along the parks quarry wall.Construction of Joker's Revenge started in 1995.
