HELP

Joker's Jukebox is a Polyp built by German manufacturer Wieland Schwarzkopf currently standing but not operating at Six Flags New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. It was one of several rides added for 2003 as part of the rebranding of Jazzland as Six Flags New Orleans.^[1]

Incident

On July 9, 2003, the ride was started while a 52-year-old woman was attending to her grandson. She was hit twice by the moving ride and died from her injuries. Joker's Jukebox reopened on July 14 with additional mirrors to improve visibility for ride operators and a public address system for pre-recorded safety instructions and operator announcements.^[2]
