You have got to be kidding me

Yes, Outside of SFOG, SFGAdv, TGE, SFFT, SFDK, and La Ronde. We are one of the few to not have a Villain themed ride.

I know this won't happen but take out the 3 point challenge (it's mostly wannabe ballers *as I like to call them* trying to impress other guys and girls.). Put in a flat. Could also take out BB (which won't happen) and put in a coaster with the two combined lots. Maybe that would be 2016 though

I think the three point challenge should stay because it's fun to watch people fail at it. I say S&S Screaming swing like Skyhawk at CP in pictorium spot.

I've noticed the park is seriously lacking in these. Should squeeze em in to boost attendance.

It's most likely going to be a Sky Screamer, Hurricane Harbor Expansion, Dark Ride or some sort of flat ride. I think we can rule out any sort of coaster for next year at this point.
Favorite Coasters I've Ridden:
Steel: 1. Maverick 2. Steel Vengeance 3. X2 4. Storm Chaser 5. Twisted Colossus
Wood: 1. The Voyage 2. Renegade 3. Mystic Timbers 4. The Legend 5. The Beast
Great America: 1. Maxx Force 2. Goliath 3. Raging Bull 4. Batman: The Ride 5. X-Flight

Coaster Count: 118
Go Hawks!

I agree SkyScreamer or dark ride in 2015. No coaster until 2016.

I would personally want a dark ride, but the chances are we'll get a 200-250 ft skyscreamer in cajuns spot

Why not go as high as possible :)

STT = 330 ft.
GASS (Great American Sky Screamer) = 329 ft.

Seems legit 8)

This may be off the wall thinking, and I don't know if this was told as meaning nothing shortly after, but I'm thinking back to NoCoaster Con 2014 and the park showing that Raging Bull In The Dark teaser. What if that was a hint towards a DARK RIDE for the 2015 season in Southwest Territory? Now, I wasn't at the event (I just saw a video of it), so I don't know if that was just for kicks or whatever, but that could seem pretty realistic. Manslaughter Manor would have to be moved to another location if they used Trailblazer's old area and put it in the buildings behind, but it seems pretty realistic. Just thought I'd put this out there, since that just came to mind.

Hank Salemi mentioned at NoCoaster Con when someone asked him a question that he has been wanting to put in a good dark ride for some time now. I think it would be a great fit!

I am going to agree with the dark ride in 2015 and say we're see a SkyScreamer another year.

Link... It happened, This might be some sort of hint at 2015, i wouldn't mind it at all if they ripped down the SWAT and built a huge southwestern dark ride in that spot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylQ2MXToD_w

First post!

I'd say Sky Screamer or Dark Ride in 2015, but that's just blind speculation. No need to take it seriously.
Favorite SFGAm coasters: 1. Batman: The Ride 2. Viper 3. Raging Bull 4. Whizzer 5. American Eagle Red (I haven't ridden Goliath yet :P)

I was at the park today and thought of two more unused (or underused) spots where they could probably fit a skyscreamer or small flat ride:

1) The grassy area next to Sky Trek Tower (it would be sort of weird to have a tower ride right there, but it might be kinda cool too)

2) The old restaurant/seating area in Orleans Place next to the Cyber Cafe. I remember at one point this was a food court that was one of my favorites places in the park, but that was a long long time ago. Now it seems like they never use this area except sometimes as a cooling area when it's really hot. They probably use the old restaurant for storage or something, but they could probably work around that. They could even expand the area by using/relocating the bathrooms and store in the area. This would be a good area to use if they ever considered the "roller coaster through Mardi Gras area" idea that some of you have.

They do use the old restaurant for storage. What you mentioned is honestly not going to happen. If anything is done with that restaurant, hopefully they reopen it since the park lacks indoor restaurants.

Yesterday I went to Six Flags and I was walking out of Hurricane Harbor and I took a glance at the train tracks by the Pictorium and noticed there were tons of trees cut down.

Could this possibly be the first signs of a new dark ride inside the Pictorium? Or possibly something similar to what they did to create DK?

The park really needs new paint on most rides so I wouldn't be too upset if they reprinted rides and made the park more attractive this year and then next year add an interactive dark ride as well as a sky screamer
