^ Everything they said is in the first post. No details were given on the water element, but based on the map, and the trench seen in the webcam shot, it will be on the curve between the immelmann and the corkscrew.

It also looks like you will be on your side where the water element is. I think that it will be similar to the water element on Manta at Sea World Orlando. I believe that since your on your side the water will shoot making it look as if you are actually touching the water like in this picture. http://www.rcdb.com/4190.htm?p=26956

WOW!!! EVERYTHING LOOKS AWESOME!!! The pass sounds a little expensive, but the gear, merchandise, and water-element made me 100x more excited. And it does look like the line goes through the bottom of the keyhole! SICK

One thing I also thought was funny was SFGAm's presenters taking Dollywood Wild Eagle shirts :lol:

The video portions of SFGAm's presentation is available here:

While it's awesome the queue will be going through the control tower, do you still think it will go through the hangar? It seems to only pass next to it on the map.

Regardless, this update makes me so much more excited!!!!

I wouldn't take the map as fact or even within a shade of accurate. Also they said the plan is to add the water effects, but it's not 100% for sure yet.

I think they mentioned the xtreme pass will be unveiled late this week or next week, and an upgrade from a already purchased season pass is expected to be in the $120-$130 range.

Full Video Including the Q&A! This is a rough edit of raw footage! Its after midnight and i just threw this together so i was able to post it. The camera is shakey, but now you guys can see the parks responses to Q&A as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YG-xDPi4sM

Wow. A new ride specific shop, more park specific merchandise, and changing one of the 7 Johnny Rockets? It's like Six Flags took a step back and was like "What the hell were we doing?"

I think this is easily the most exciting SFGAm offseason news since I've been a member here. Now we just have to wait and see if they actually follow through on most of the extras that they've promised.

I know the map may not be accurate but it also looks like there will be symbols on the midway for X-Flight in front of the ride. Thought that was pretty cool.

Just like Superman! I think the logo in front of SUF looks sweet, I bet the X will too.

This has been asked a lot, it's not yet available, keep checking the website and your e-mail if you're a subscriber.

I'm sure it'll be available on the website and through the park's phone operators. I wonder what "limited" to them means?

It seems like a descent deal if you go alot - I wonder if parking pass is included as well? That would make it sweeter.
