Looks like random person wearing a hoodie from RMC's IAAPA booth. Why would he be in the entrance/exit queue and not the service road? It's so dumb.


Looks like Rocco.

People...people...people...

They would not be promoting the closing and re-tracking of American Eagle as a new ride for 2014. Nor would they put dozens of clues into these things without a handful of them actually applying to what's coming. It would be a secondary, "oh, and there's this..." announcement.

They would also not be announcing the removal of Ragin' Cajun as a new 2014 ride. In fact, I feel like they would have announced that earlier so people can get their last rides in, like Iron Wolf.

Something new is coming in Southwest Territory, and some facet of it will be big.

In that photo, the thing that says "save the date" on it does have a 180 degree invert and then a dive and the thing poking out of the purple folder looks like it might be a different car than anything we already have, though I don't want to speculate as to what exactly as I can't get a good resolution on it.

I think the ride will be 3 minutes long and/or break 3 records

The question is do we have enough room to have a ride that long? Ragin Bull is 2:40 seconds and look at how much track that is. Personally, I do not think we have the room for something that long.

Maybe if we take out the southwest amphitheater? I just feel as though they would have a final show or something before they decide to take it out.

Also it would have to be over 4 minutes to break a record... Steel Dragon 2000 is 4 minutes with the longest track and The Ultimate is 7:30.

Does anyone even remember the last show that mattered in the Southwest Ampitheater. I mean, Operation Spy Girl was supposed to be a show that "mattered", but we all know how that ended :lol:

Very good point about the 3 minute thing, plus I realized from the screen shot above that there's more security cam footage so the clock keeps ticking, probably an incidental piece of info. However, the three pages inside of the world record folders leads me to believe that there may be 3 potential records. We noticed the numbers from the admin cams with the date, but has anyone come up with a theory for the Maintenance cam numbers from video 2?

well there you have it. A 165 foot coaster in IW's old spot. That could put an end to a LOT of speculation...Now we have to see what type of coaster it will be, and what elements it will contain. 2 coasters in three years...Not bad!

^Get that Packer junk off here. :P

I'm thinking it will likely be a Premier launch coaster with that height and considering the size of the area which isn't extremely big.

I hope it's better than Full Throttle to be honest. It doesn't look that good, low capacity, but SFGAm always impresses us. I am still hoping for a RMC woodie but whatever.

So I was curious and I looked up the tallest standing rollercoaster.... 154(Chang/green lantern).... therefore 165 would be breaking a record.

Far fetched but a thought.

165 feet... that's a BIG ASS RIDE. Glad to see something so massive taking over Iron Wolf's space!

Full Throttle's loop is 160, so they'd grab that record by a couple of feet.

180=horseshoe = Euro Fighter in my opinion. Tallest one is 141 in Japan right now.

Personally, I'm just very relieved that A) We're getting a new coaster, B) We're filling the hole that has been Wolf's spot and C) Eagle is safe. This makes my day.

And now, how Screamscape will handle just how wrong they appear to be ...
