the joker's wildcard at six flags new england
"the joker's wildcard" opened at six flags new england in 2000. it opened as an indoor darkride but was moved outside around 2008, replacing "nightwing".

as a dark ride the joker's wildcard supposedly had flashing lights and music, however, i am unable to find video of the ride to confirm this.

according to sfne online on youtube, the joker's wild card was pitch black in it's early years but later the ride was run with the door somewhat open.
riders would sit facing each other in carts and the ride would spin in a circle while lifting off the ground at an angle. each cart sat four people. playing cards stuck out the sides and the ride had a centrepiece figure shaped like the joker's head. the ride had a no single rider policy.

the entrance to the ride had a large sign reading "the jokers wildcard" and a picture of the joker's face. the sign is stylized without an apostrophe on joker's, however, official materials list this ride as "THE JOKER's Wildcard"

the joker head centrepiece is often missing in photos and videos of the ride. in closeups of the joker's wildcard in later years there is also paint chipping evident on the card pieces.

in 2017 THE JOKER Free-Fly Coaster was introduced at six flags new england and the joker's wildcard was renamed to kryptonite and gained a new look.

kryptonite was apparently renamed to the kryptonite kollider in 2018, however, i can not find anything to suggest this year specifically or any photos of a new entrance. it is extremely likely that the ride was indeed renamed to kryptonite kollider as almost every reference to it online uses this name.
the kryptonite kollider was also often seen without it's centrepiece.

in 2021 kryptonite kollider was replaced with supergirl skyflyer, a ride similar to nightwing. kryptonite kollider was retired and was not moved elsewhere in the park.

Summary:
Shelby’s part of the fog now, she knows that. Everyone told her she wasn’t, she was just normal Shelby, back to normal, her hair had just changed colour and that was all.
But that was before anyone looked any closer. That was before the fog started to respond to Shelby like it never had before. That was before her magic started to seep through her very skin.
So much study—well, so much schooling—and no one had ever told her magic could leak out of a person.
She became the fog. Shelby’s long past accepting that, she embraces it now. After all, she is the King of the Fog. Hard to be a king of something you’re not.

Or, Fog-witch Shelby may have got a little more than she bargained for
