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? -First Post
RMC is going to work on the Great Scenic Railway! I hope they put in a vertical loop. Perfect for setting a new world record
I get your making a joke but Alan S. said he's not going to build a loop. Now 50 barrel rolls, yes.
I hope they fix/paint/tear out the SWTAT theming. I don't understand the green rocks that are crumbling (and why green and not red orange rocks?). They could make this area actually look a lot nicer just by showing some effort. 2015 I hope is just minor on the front end but major on the preventative maintenance side (paint, new Raging Bull stairs, etc.).

1. I've heard no serious rumblings about Superman's removal. Even if lines are inflated because of low capacity, the ride is still hugely popular among guests. It won't be going anywhere for a while.
2. Why the hell would you go to guest relations to confirm that? What are they going to tell you other than that they have no plans to remove the ride?

I agree that Superman isn't going anywhere. And not for nothing, but what are the odds that a random employee in guest relations will have knowledge of secret, unannounced plans for the park and then will choose to share those secret plans with anyone who asks them about it?

Exactly. if someone did tell you this, they were probably just messing with you.
In other news, let's keep talking about 2015.
Favorite SFGAm coasters: 1. Batman: The Ride 2. Viper 3. Raging Bull 4. Whizzer 5. American Eagle Red (I haven't ridden Goliath yet )

Since we're probably not going to see a coaster next year, I hope they do backwards coasters again like 2013.

What about Backwards Demon or Dark Knight? Not a fan of Superman backwards however X-Flight could go backwards.
Raging Bull is plausible and so is X-Flight. I personally think backwards wouldn't work on Bull because of that pre drop. The whiplash in that last row would be a bit much.

B&M currently has chassis for Hypers, wingriders, and Inverted coasters.
Demon would need a ridiculous amount of modifying if replacement chassis couldn't be found. As for Superman....I doubt that can even be done those trains are so complicated.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Superman is never going to happen. It would need a ton of work/parts for the train plus completely redoing all of the station hardware that is used to rotate the seats. Plus backwards Superman would still be pretty lame, and think how fun it would be if you got stopped on the lift facing backwards
With any luck, this will be the last time anyone mentions backwards Superman, but some how I just know it won't
