Watch it be a double heart haha no, send that over to Frontier City!

Wondering where this new teaser is coming from as I haven't seen it posted yet or on anything but 4 could so many things from 4 records to 4 rides. To 4 inversions.

The teaser was not made public on their social media handles.

It was announced at the Junkies picnic on Sunday and subsequently posted on the Junkies Facebook group.

So 2 parks this close to each other get the same ride? I don’t think so. I’m expecting something else now…

And yes I know parks have the same attractions, but to get them the same year doesn’t happen so close to each other. It’s usually staggered

I would love a giant discovery regardless, nice people eating machine that would do well at our park.

.... But I'm honestly getting tired of the DC Branding. Can we please name it something that doesn't come off as a cheap Billboard? And no, I don't mean some stupid made up word like "Crazanity".

I'll take Crazanity over anything DC at this point. It'd be so foolish to do a DC ride outside of DCU now. Like find the room there. Squeeze it in there or get rid of one side of Loggers. Not that I want an og ride to vanish but there's so much room there for something updated. Imagine how much space RR & the flumes would open up. We've all thought about it.

It would look silly next to V2 but I'd love an Aquaman coaster there. Call it Aquaman: Tidal Wave & you not only get your DC branding but an ode to the old Tidal Wave near the original spot it once was. Hell, add the loop & you've really got a modern day Tidal Wave.

A 172 foot tall dive machine, 4 inversions, blue track white supports with a name like sonic strike replacing Buccaneer Battle, the go karts and the games and kids rides in Home town park.

That's my final guess.

Well since I was initially wrong about Buccaneer Battle for 2024,my 2nd guess of the Giant Discovery not going there was correct.

As for what 2025/2026 holds in store for battle.... Well....

According to LaShock, it will go in the former Dare Devil Dive spot. And he said the park wouldn’t confirm what this means for Revolution. Glad it got an original name though. The rides are immensely popular.

Also looks like they announced all the 2024 new attractions. Great adventure gets the super boomerang called The Flash: Vertical Velocity.

There also appears to be no change in strategy. Clones and small cheap coasters

Hopefully this new ride won't interfere with the line for Iron Eagle: Soaring to New Heights (coming in 2026) !

This poses an interesting question though. What is happening to the queue for American Eagle? Part of it is on the "pedastal" used for Dare Devil Dive. Assuming that platform is being removed for Sky Striker, and to also not be in the new ride's way, where is Eagle's queue going to be rerouted to?

I'd assume the pedestal (and the last remaining fragments of track of the Barney Oldfield Raceway which surround it) will be removed, it's been there since 1976 when it housed Ricochet (then 'The Big Top') and I'm not sure that that nearly 50 year old structure will be able to support so much weight, along with the fact that I think a Giga Discovery is bigger than the pedestal. The American Eagle queue line diverges into the 'Big Top' pedestal so if it were to be removed, I'd assume the line would probably just be straightened out and would connect directly to the bridge rather than diverging first.

Sky Screamer, Maybe a NebuleZ where Revolution is?

Until you mentioned the fragments/track of Barney Oldfield being under Daredevil DIve, I had no idea they were there! I made a point to look down there today and saw the track!

I was more hoping for Camp Cartoon and moving some Kidzopolis rides there
