Why on Earth would they do anything to X-Flight!! Unless they could make it like X2!! I would love to see something in Hometown Square as well. Not in Triple Play's spot I think that is a very good ride. As much as everyone LOVES Whizzer I hate it, and would love to see something Huge!! They also have the area across from Orbit they could easily move the First Aid station.
There is absolutely no reason for the park to do anything with XFlight. It doesnt make sense to change something that they just paid money to build, it is just to new for any major changes.
I honestly do not think that the station should be changed at all. It looks perfectly fine the way it is right now.
Can someone please explain to me if the fact that Great America hasn't received a height clearance means anything about getting a Sky Screamer? Can they announce it before they go before the board? I we do get one, I was also looking to the area between BB and the First Aid station. There does seem to be room there. I think that if they were going to take out a ride in Hometown Square then it should be HTFM. Triple Play gets more ridership.
Why is there an orange ribbon underneath the lifthill of American Eagle? You can see it after the American Eagle ride is done, and right before you go into the station. It's not the biggest ribbon, but it's there.
I wonder if they are going to repaint Superman. The reason I say that is because around the Superman shields on the station building, they put new red paint. Now, essentially that is somewhat more of a sign, but maybe they also testing how the red looks. I would like to know what they are doing with the first part of the line of Superman because you can see up in the ceiling - some of it is open. I thought the thing about the Skyscreamer was that SFOG is gettting one, and now SFNE is having it's delayed a year. According to other people, Six Flags only bought 2.

Orange is mainly used for cables or conduit.,,,but that's mostly by a construction company. Six Flags might use them to mark where wood needs to be replaced.

I don't think GCI Trains work well on O&B Airtime coasters. Notice how Cheetah/ Thunder Road don't have GCI's either and GCI did re-tracking for those rides.
^^ I'm sure a large part of that is cost. Replacing 2 - 4 trains would cost a lot, and on an out and back Millienium Flyers probably wouldn't make that much of a difference. Sure it would be more comfortable, but would they really improve eagle that much? Probably not. I would rather have the park spend the money on two more of the current train so each side can run three trains (not that that would ever happen though).
The orange ribbon is on some sort of wire. Do they have any lights on the way up the lifthill? I don't go on it much, and I haven't been on it at night in a long, long time?

Millennium Flyers would be more than plenty capable of running on American Eagle just fine. And I think after GCII went and lightened the trains up by quite a lot they will now sell them for non GCII coasters. I kow they are extremely expensive though. Eagle would probably benefit most from a set of new PTC's and get rid of the home made trains it currently runs. Something tells me new trains for Eagle isn't in the cards though as long as the current ones aren't falling apart.

Design the a pair of trains specifically to run backwards. That way we can have the blue side in reverse all the time. Going back to three trains a side would be great as well.
Ok, so this is a long shot and I haven't been doing my daily readings on the forums so I will probably be way off.....anyways, I think it has to do with a an addition of suspended cable cars, like the old Delta Flyer/ Eagles Flight from the Marriott Days. I see the clues which are posted from their Facebook fan page and they all seem to be spread around the park. I know I am probably 90% wrong, but my god wouldn't that be great?!
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

Are you possibly confusing the 2013 clues with the Fright Fest clue picture from a while back?
Nope. I don't even know what you're talking about. What are the fright fest clues? I rarely have time to follow up on these forums as much as I used too.

Some people thought that this could be an addition of the cable cars (or a zip line ) because of the spread out points around the park. They missed the big Fright Fest logo on the bottom...

Ha, and apparently i did too.

Yeah, that looks like the Haunted houses or other stuff - Roaring Rapids, Picnic Grove, Train, Pictorium, and Haunted House across from the Teacups. Instead of the Pictorium, I wonder if that could be a walk through only the beginning part of Hurricane Harbor, and than maybe out the Xtreme Pass Waterpark entrance?

I wish they would bring back the free walkthroughs for season pass holders. The haunted train is apparently coming, back does anyone know if this is 100% true?? If so, I can't wait to ride it
there are 2 places around the park that have signs showing whats coming new to FF you can see one here https://twitter.com/SFGreat_America/sta ... to/1/large and the second from last thing on the sign is the Dead Line so I would say yes there are bring back the train ride.
