New Ride(s) for 2014

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Cedar Fair on August 8th, 2013, 3:22 pm
People are saying American Eagle is getting a rehab, this is likely to be true because if you go on Rocky Mountain Coaster's website, they are coming out with their own brand of trains... My guess is there will be a COMPLETE I-Box rehab with RMC's new "Ground Breaking" trains. 8)
This just in... 2015 is going to bring us...
A. The Great American SkyScreamer
B. Increased Admission Prices
C. Increased Parking Prices
D. More Gaping Holes

Colors can be changed. Just because all the other SkyScreamers have been one thing doesn't mean ours has to be the same thing. Heck, look at the Superman drop tower in St. Louis -- basically the same thing as what we have here, but very different color scheme.

I Know I Sound Stupid But I Think They Should Add V2's Track To Batman's Track And Use V2's Line As A Exit To The Ride :idea:
Or Maybe Re-Themeing Superman As Bizzaro ??
Just Clearing My Mind :lol:
Or Are Very Own Kingda Ka!!!!!
But I Think The City Of Gurnee Would Not Like That :(

^^^^That's a good point. That has to be a clue because it goes from camera 85 to 24 so drastically. The closest Skyscreamer to that amount is 236 feet, so it's possible it's that size -226.

In these videos, you have to look at NOT the obvious. They did it in the first video, and than this video there is possibly clues in which you wouldn't think they mean anything AT FIRST.

From Twitter:

We know we got a lot of you stumped with this last video so we thought we would let you know there are 5 clues in the video!

Based on 5 clues, maybe 2 more would be Ragin Cajun cars are there, and the paper on the desk is rolled up - like a tower would be - Skyscreamer.

So, out there are guesses for me are:
1. Left Trophy that is tall and has something circular on top (He takes a picture of it.)
2. The other person got the adding up the times = 226 feet
3. Paper rolled up on the desk like a tower would be
4. Ragin Cajun cars being in the video
5. Look at the mechanics time card thing I guess, and look all the way to the left. It's a tower thing of some sort, but it doesn't look that great of what they made.

I'm thinking the guy's name "David"....and the connection it has to 'Goliath'....the video seemed to pause on that a good few seconds before he opened the door and turned on the lights in the office.

^ Definitely a possibility. I saw a guy that looked like that walking around the park with Brandon Bruce today, and I'm pretty sure his nametag didn't say David then.

A Skyscreamer?
Well At Least Its Not Ignight-RETURN :roll:
Cause The Last Thing SFGA Needs Is Another Stupid Pop Parade :evil:
But Perhaps (THIS IS MY OPINION!) A DC Villan Skyscreamer Maybe Bizzaro :twisted: Or The Joker :mrgreen:

I bet it is going to be a dark ride themed apocalyptic western like behind some of the prop houses in the aisle of Southwest territory. :twisted:

^I don't believe that at all. They have Iron Wolf area open for a new coaster, and thus why put one around Southwest Territory & than theme a Superman character in Southwest Territory.

I may be stating the obvious, but I think this will only make sense to us after we find out what it is. As I watch the video, I can spot conflicting "clues." Maybe it's just because I can think of too many possibilities. It's not worth driving myself batty over. To me, this new video doesn't tell me jack (or David or Bruce or anyone else who was involved in shooting it).

The only thing moderately interesting to me is that the video has a 3D option to possibly select, but that could just be someone at Six Flags not knowing how to hit the right buttons to post things on YouTube (not that not knowing how things are supposed to work ever happens with park employees).

"David" name tag references David and Goliath.
Name of the new coaster will be called Goliath.
The "Journey" graphic looks like the Goliath logo at SF Magic Mountain.

Anyone else notice this car as David is walking through the hallway? I don't think its a coaster car though, it has headlights.

EDIT: Rewatched the video looking at the car, it appeared to have a steering wheel and mirrors. It's definitely not a coaster car, but it looks like its themed to something apocalyptic/fright fest

I am at the park right now and after looking at the land where Iron Wolf once stood I see absolutely nothing different. So from what I can see, the person saying that there was activity there was 100% lying. About to go see about the flags by demon, American eagle, and southwest territory.

Even if we can maybe lean toward the ride being named "Goliath," that means ... nothing. Just because other parks have coasters named Goliath doesn't mean that name implies a coaster for us. I could see a SkyScreamer being named "Goliath" — heck, it would even make some sense since we have a similar-but-much-closer-to-the-ground ride in the park already.

The ride can be named Goliath or Monolith or JoeBob. I'm less interested in the name than what it does, and if all we can determine is the name from this, then, meh.

Goliath is just another name for tall / giant which can still relate to a Skyscreamer being tall.

There's a special place in Theme Park Hell for people who say they know and either really don't or refuse to tell us. I believe the special place has no season passes or discount offers and has every ride except Jester's Wild Ride malfunctioning.
