New Ride(s) for 2014
If the ride is longer than Viper we are looking at a track length of 3,458 feet. Which is longer in track length Iron Rattler (3,266) or Outlaw Run (2,937)
Just noticed that it is NOT going over the RR tracks at any point like Iron Wolf did for the first hill. Much narrower than I thought.
 I got this close shot of the station area. It appears Iron Wolf's old station is only on there as a reference. You can see it also shows Iron Wolf's footers. You'll notice there is a blue box over Iron Wolf's station which I assume is the outline of the new station. Though if that is correct, the new station is even narrower than Iron Wolf's  Last edited by DejaVu2001 on August 22nd, 2013, 5:44 am, edited 1 time in total.
It looks like they'll be executing the old queue line. Will that be enough queue? (sarcasm) Consecutive Trips Riding X Flight: 92

^Again, everything on that plan except the red, blue, and green are reference only.
I would be surprised as well, especially since they have the new igNight stage they can use. I only saw one thing going on in there this past season which was some sort of dance thing. Even then only 1 or 2 rows had people sitting in them, no more than 20-30 people in the ENTIRE theater Consecutive Trips Riding X Flight: 92

Just thought about these teasers: Last year the first teaser had a dimmed room, second had a piece of paper with a dark picture on it, third showed Hometown Square which was the location.
Then this year we found so many clues. In the last one, I noticed Hank had to swing by Southwest Territory, home of two of the parks tallest/largest thrill rides (Bull and Drop). This next teaser could show the location of the ride, but we of course know what that is. By showing Drop, they're probably naming it Goliath. Hopefully this calls for a new queue, new larger updated station, possibly 3 trains, INVERSIONS, transforming the Mporium into Goliath Gifts or something like that, and maybe allowing X-Flight to be available to all flash pass levels. And also, I never understood how they associate David with Goliath. Why is that? EDIT: They may also convert Wolf Den Snacks into a possible Ride Photo booth similar to X-Flight's which may cut down on employees in the midways asking to take your pictures and actually put in a booth. (nothing's for sure) Last edited by kossdude1 on August 22nd, 2013, 12:17 am, edited 1 time in total.

^David & Goliath is in the Bible.
http://christianity.about.com/od/bibles ... oliath.htm Screamscape doesn't even think it will be called Goliath though. Take it with a grain of salt though. Last edited by Ilovthevu' on August 22nd, 2013, 12:05 am, edited 1 time in total.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
Oh, now that makes more sense. I didn't think about the Bible... Consecutive Trips Riding X Flight: 92

If what RobSFGAm says is correct about the Drop being 178 feet.
We have ourselves a new world record people.
Probably the architectural design firm
Though it was "just" a meeting, you cant be upset that you hyped it up so much - but as to HOW you're disappointed is beyond me cause you got a layout out of this, somethin none of us had before. So if thats upsetting to you then please have a seat... Next!
As I originally stated, I see an immelman, yes & that very much so now looks more like a dive loop. As for the slight curve before it, It appears to be maybe an airtime hill similar to that seen on Leviathan after the "barrel roll" where the train/track rises "straight up" then on the way down, banks slightly to change direction. Which actually is on MANY coasters but Levi was just the first reference that came to mind. Anywhoooo this looks tight but there aint nothin wrong with tight. ;D Lets not think its not going to be epic just yet. We'll know it all the 29th! Im excited were gettin another coaster so soon after XFlight, so its already epic to me  whootwhoot!! I dream of the 400ft "Great American SkyScreamer". x
You know, I have a feeling the coaster is not the only thing they've been hinting at. In the second video the blueprint on the table shows the park pre- water park. You see a photo or park map from the same era on the left in a frame on the wall in the third video. The title of the videos has to do with the journey... I wonder if they'll also be showing the ENTIRE collection of screams and dreams from 76 to present with a special minute or so segment on the new coaster about to be built? I have a feeling that either there will be an additional feature involving the park history, something to do with a throw back, or these are intentional distractions purposely trying to guide me in the wrong direction. Has anyone considered this though?
Screams and Dreams 1,2, and 3 on DVD with bonus features. Though it probably won't happen, but it'd be VERY profitable if they did sell it! Consecutive Trips Riding X Flight: 92

Havent considered it, no. but hell, Ive missed every clue in these videos. Up till Gurnee bluntly posted "roller coaster", I was convinced this was a Giant Drop revamp or at most a Full Throttle like coaster. haha So I'm not very bright with the teasers I guess. You all have come up with some interesting & many correct ideas so far ;D I still think(know) anything is possible. We right now only have an overhead layout. Still have little to no specs/elements within the proposed coaster.
I mean from now to announcement day, we could speculate anything. Another addition whether it be to the water park, a show, or hell, a second coaster(under 125ft obvs) could be possible.... WE dont know anything in the grand scheme of things. So sure there could be more than just "Goliath" minor or major. ;D I dream of the 400ft "Great American SkyScreamer". x
You're the dude who guessed Goliath 40 pages ago on August 1 with nothing but the first 14 second teaser to go buy, if my money's on anyone's predictions it's yours, lol,

You can see it go negative on the height chart! Underground!
Just wanted to let everyone know - the park is already selling t-shirts for the new ride.
 Hahaha  Terror Twister Tony
Uh.... NO! lol
They're supposed to release the final teaser video today, right? One week until the big announcement!
Where are the teaser videos located. I am having nothing but trouble finding them.
Nick I got you beat I havent ridden a coaster since September 29 2012.
Just search Six Flags Great America on Youtube. They are on the parks channel on there. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
