Really don't think there's any chance of a world record skyscreamer, I think they they can't build anything higher than Sky Trek Tower because of the Waukegan airport (or is that just a rumor?)

If they took one or both of the flume rides and combined it with the Ragin Cajun space, they'd have a decent amount of space. I don't expect that to happen in 2015, though. Remember what happened the year after last time we got a major coaster?

The Pictorium area? Or, in my dreams that will never happen, turn part of the back parking lot into a parking garage and use some of the current lot for expansion.

I don't really see them removing the flumes unless they are replaced with another water ride. If they were to be removed we would be left with Roaring Rapids and then Buccaneer Battle and only one of those two actually receive alot of riders. Besides, both flumes are still quite popular with guests and many peoples favorite water rides at the park.
I could see SFGA completely redoing the dark knight. I mean stripping down the entire inside and putting in a new dark ride. That would save a lot of money.

This is tricky. They can add topper or modify it, but from what I have heard they're not allowed to modify the ride layout too much due to the zoning. It would probably be more cost effective to just leave Eagle as it is.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
The demon has a relatively small lot so I'm not sure what else they can put there but six flags has done it before I.e. Goliath and x-flight, but I don't see a new coaster til '16 or '17 and we get a skyscreamer because we are one of the few parks that don't have one. I could also see the revolution moved to rc spot if they expanded it a bit and then putting the skyscreamer there because an American themed skyscreamer just sounds way better than a Cajun one, not to mention there already got a tower ride there being the condor

Everybody always says this, but I've never ever seen anything that actually confirms this as anything more than a rumor.
Most likely space to be used next is mardis gras. Use rc's spot, relocate the flats, and re do the area. Most likely to be removed to make room for new things are bb, pictorium, and demon. Most likely new additions: a dark ride, a flat ride, and maybe a show (Id say stunt show).
Can a SkyScreamer fit in RC spot. I think RC station would have to been removed. Here's a idea, remove go carts and move little dipper to RC spot. This way a coaster could be placed in that spot and the LD space can be used as extra queue line space. I know this was probably never happen. LD is in a good spot right now.

Or remove the two and put in a coaster to replace each?

For the last time, Superman is NOT leaving our park anytime soon. It's still one of the most popular rides at the park and the GP loves it, and so do I. It happens to be number 17 on my top 30 favorite roller coasters. I'm not sure why everyone except for myself and a few others are big Superman haters. Superman is staying, period.

I kinda hope not, just because it would be a little frustrating for them to take out a ride (even a not-very-popular ride) when they have other obvious spots sitting empty (the RC spot, the BB extended queue area, maybe the old Trailblazer area).

I don't think Superman will leave, but I think it's possible for many of the reasons you list above - it's popular and people like it, which means it's popular and people would like it at another Six Flags park too. And while it's popular, I don't think that it's SO popular that it would cause major problems with the GP if it was replaced with some other high-level coaster. You couldn't just stick anything there, but with the right ride I think it would be ok.
Like I said, I wouldn't expect Superman to be leaving any time soon, but if another B&M was ever going to leave it's probably the most obvious choice.
I think if GA were to build a SkyScreamer in 2015 in BB spot, then the next coaster should come in 2016. And if that coaster is a B&M coaster then I think SUF will be leaving for it.
