Do the 3 rides they posted have anything to do with it? Does the 3 strikes have anything to do with it?

I do however find it interesting that 2/3 posts were coasters… I mean, it’s totally not a hard no a smaller coaster could come our way.

The strikes make me think about the lightning bolt

I’m assuming the next post will be the announcement…and that’s the end of the teasers? I do think it’s a coaster. It’s a flat in my opinion, especially if they are using DDDs spot.

I’m not sure….
1st is the Wonder Woman cape in the Fright Fest video that started the hashtag
2nd is DDD’s spot
3rd is Revy
4th is X-Flight


Is it a coaster and this teaser is giving us the manufacturer? Is it a Wonder Woman themed dive coaster and revy was just to throw us off?
172ft 1st drop?

Are we all going to be shocked?

I sure hope so!!

But I’d be happy with a Giga Discovery

I’d be shocked if it’s a coaster.

And I would not be happy with a Giant Discovery. It’s unnecessary if we have Revolution and I’m not a fan of them to begin with…

I was hoping for a SkyScreamer.

It's gotta be a Giant Discovery. I just don't see these teasers pointing to anything else.

172ft drop on a Dive Coaster would be pretty mid tbh. Dive Coasters lose momentum so quickly if it's not over 200ft it just crawls through the course.

Yukon Striker is argued to be one of the better dives and it has a 245ft drop.

You have got to get on Emperor. That may really change your perception of what a smaller dive from B&M is capable of. She hauls through the course. I was so blah when DD Cliffhanger was announced with the MCBR in it cause it's def the pace killer in comparison to Emperor. But still good. As others have said I'd be SHOCKED if it's a dive coaster let alone a coaster at all. A dive coaster has practically been rumored here since Oblivion opened in 1998.

My guess is a Zamperla Giant Discovery. They made it too obvious in my opinion. Three strikes and you’re out…. swinging motion. What ride swings? 172ft would be short enough to fly under the radar for town hall meetings. The angle probably goes to 130 degrees or something like that. Revolution will probably be on its way out soon, but I can see the park keeping it around for a little bit. This is the same theme park chain that put two boomerangs next to each other.

That’s the point though. It’s obvious!!
So it will be something different

Right. It’s never the obviou choice. I’m beginning to think that the teasers are meant to fool you. We know they like to make it seem like it’s one thing, but then it’s something else…the Strike 1/2/3 could be indicating that it’s not those things either.

Well now after seein SFFT's announcement, I'm thinking it could be a Zamperla Nebulaz. & sadly seeing that damn lightning bolt, whoever brought up Shazam could be correct on that one. I really Hope it's a giga discovery but any new ride is good right? Ideally I'd love to see a thrill ride & family coaster. Kiddos need a new modern coaster. Anyone who says we have enough, look at SFMM or KI. When a park. Has 1-3 family/kiddie coasters in comparison to a collection of 12-15 it's really not that many. I always would love for my little family members in training to have more options ;)

I figured we’d have an announcement today because I think the sale started yesterday or today thru Labor Day. Figured they’d want to announce the new attraction also.

Nah. Rarely do they announce on a Sunday. Probably sometime next week. They will do right at the end of the sale to drive sales for the last day or two.

Apparently there was a 4th clue revealed at the Junkies picnic this afternoon. There was people tagged in the post so I blocked out their names.

No idea what they're getting at with the number 4 since it doesn't have any relation to the previous teases.

On the map, Revolution is number 4 in the County Fair section. Could be hinting at an Air Race or Super Air Race replacing it.

My guess is an S&S mega looper similar to steel curtain in the parking lot next to superman.


With the lightning bolt/strike clues, it could be hinting at a custom Zamperla Lightning coaster.

They could move the Kidzopolis rides to Buccaneer Battle's location as an expansion to the Hometown Park area.



That makes sense (moving Kidzopolis rides to Hometown Square). The one good thing about Kidzopolis is that it's sort of closed off from the rest of the park.

RCDB lists it as 70 MPH but I thought I saw somewhere (in V2 line maybe) that it's only 65 MPH.

Still seems slow compared to Maxx!
