^ I really hope it is not a Euro-fighter
This says nothing about American Eagle's status. Again, they would never market that as a new thing for next year.
Possibly a woodie with a 180 ft drop (they'd have to go underground for that, but it could be done) would be a record for longest drop on a wooden roller coaster. One of the numbers from the maint cams in vid 2 said 85, so it could be an 85 degree drop which would be a record... potentially reaching 72 MPH which would be another record and which was also a number on one of the maint cams...
Yeah sure that's it. Just like it's a skyscreamer cause of the ink blot images.
Here's a silly question: Is my imagination failing me, or didn't we read someplace that Eagle is supposed to get a paint job next year? I would think, if it were something massive with Eagle, they'd market it, the same way they did Texas Giant or the Iron Rattler. I feel pretty safe about Eagle at this point. Be a Fan!

Quick! Somebody photoshop Rocco in front of Iron Wolf wearing a Premier or Gerstlauer hoodie!

Interesting points. Maybe an RMC woodie with a 85 degree drop, 72 mph, and features a 180 degree over banked turn. All of those numbers which are shown in the "MAINT_CAM" 's. It's very unlikely but fun to take guesses. I'm still leaning towards a Premier launch coaster. It would also fit the clue with Hank Salemi drinking a Full Throttle in the video.

lol, you're right, can't be. Scratch that idea
What's going on with Southwest Territory markings. Is that all fake too?

I'm confused, how is 165 a record for ANYTHING?
Secondary announcement. If not, then some sort of routine or non-guest-related improvement, fix, renovation, etc. etc. Maybe remove the amphitheater, but leave it empty for the future, or maybe that is the secondary announcement for 2014 like I said.

I was at the park 2 days ago and all those flags were there for are to mark the underground electrical wires for the lamps. No one seemed to notice that the lamps and the flags were in the same line. 
Just wondering, what does "The subject site is zoned C-S1 (A.P.) Outdoor Recreational District as a Special Use for an Amusement Park." mean at the end of the agenda for the coaster?

Has anyone given thought that maybe just maybe we will have two announcements? One being a launched coaster at the old Iron Wolf spot and also a Eagle (RMC) announcement for the following season. My dream would be for them to build a new RMC woodie in Iron Wolfs old ground, but there has been way too much tease with Eagle to not do anything with it.
Anything but a freaking Skyscreamer.
That means the park is zoned specifically for use as an amusement park.
For example: If your town wanted to build a new Target across the street from your house. That land would need to be Zoned "Commercial" - Retail. 
They have not made a stand up roller coaster since 1999....
Full Throttle has the world's largest loop at 160 ft. 165ft loop would break the record for largest loop.
Ok, thanks. I was just confused by the "special use" part but that makes sense. Founder of http://www.sfgamnation.com

This was originally posted back in June 2012 by My Wife:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11965 Seems like a little thing back then, but now its all starting to piece together.
You wrote tallest standing, not tallest standup, so I thought you meant... the tallest standing roller coaster............ Anyway, why would anyone want a standup roller coaster after IW?? Also, who is "they"? Be specific! And yeah, a loop is the only thing that makes sense for a record. Considering how IW's spot isn't excessively large, I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of a Full Throttle sibling. And YES two announcements are likely. They've been hinting at that the whole time. It's not a "maybe there's more", it's a "yes, probably, there's more".

They as in NO ONE not B&M and not anyone else. No one has touched a Stand up Design since 99'
Is it safe to say then that Hank holding the Full Throttle can seals the deal on the launched coaster? Any chance Six Flags pulls a fast one on us?
^ At this point, we have no idea as to what the 2014 Coaster will be, but things are starting to take shape.
