Yes, coming in 2019, your dreams will be fulfilled. Ride the BRAND spanking new (cough from another park) Buccaneer Battle. You will be AMAZED, and THRILLED." lol lol
I will be so happy when that piece of shit ride is removed, lol. What kind of retard removes one of the most popular roller coasters in a thrill park (The year all the bugs were finally worked out of it) and replaces it with a kids pirate ride that no one wants? lol. 2006-2010 was an era of no common sense for Six Flags and I'm glad it's over.
What about removing an engineering marvel and only 1 of 2 triple wheels in the world? Not only was it a crowd eater, but it was a long ride something to get off your feet for a good 10 minutes. It was literally something for the entire family. And now we have been without a Ferris Wheel for 17 years. Our park is fast loosing its charm!

Agreed! That was stupid too! They could have easily put Deja Vu somewhere else in the park and kept Sky Whirl. When they removed sky Whirl they were spending damn near $250 Million a year capex yet said the part for Sky Whirl was "Too expensive" to fix, lol
At the time I thought it would be cool to put Deja Vu where Eagles tent is and relocate the entrance for Eagle. They ended up relocating Eagles line eventually but wasted all that realestate on a kids area.
I might not like everything about the current strategy, but Jim Reid Anderson is hands down the best we've had since Time Warner era management. Far better than Burke and Shapiro in my opinion
Some of those S&S launchers in China has some wonky banking and transitions, especially Extreme Rusher. I certainly hope the design would be more polished if we're getting one.

Maybe it's a new design. Because those coasters have been out for a while and I would hope they would have been perfected by now. I'm going to wait for the next teaser later today though to see if I'm sticking with my launch coaster theory.
So at this point it really seems like we are getting same thing as Magic Mountain. Since the whole Mack thing has been disputed for them are we still assuming their installation will be a $20 million dollar one? I honestly think we are all gonna be shocked with what we get. Only because our park has seen so much in the last several years. It’s basically like we didn’t get affected by the bankruptcy or new strategy at all really. Let’s see what today’s teaser does to confuse us all even more!

Somebody on one of the Magic Mountain boards say that we're getting an S&S and they're not, but no way to know if that's true.
I'm surprised we'd be getting any coaster at all, water park still makes more sense, but I am pursuaded that a roller coaster at least seems possible. But I still think that any sort massive expensive world class thing would just be dreaming. We'll know all in just two weeks...

Where did this 20 millions dollar rumour come frome? It seemed to have came up from out of nowhere. Can someone fill me in?
I know that this is extremely unlikely, but I wouldn't hate if SFGAm pulled a Kings Island and re-installed the Great America Speedway in the Pictorium spot.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rathe have a new roller coaster, but those cars were awesome! I wish there would have been enough room to build new ones around and under X-Flight.

Or with the train closing early this year and then standing on the tracks does it have to do with the train? It’s pointing down the tracks. I’m so confused.
Okay, so I measured what 175 yards from that spot on Google Maps would be, and Buccaneer Battle falls a little short. 175 yards is either the X-Flight entrance (doubtful) or the old Sky Trail spot (could be something). It's probably just a meaningless number, but at this point who knows.
There are markers all the way into whizzers area. So sky trail wouldn’t be far behind. Will this thing cross over whizzer to that area & be that big? I’m so lost. Lol I hate this I’m leaving goodbye lol

I agree with you 100%! This is mind boggling. I mean is it even possible or more likely the park is pulling out chain because we all know they read this forum.
