I wonder if maybe six flags St. Louis is going to move their scoops do ride here because I was just on Facebook and saw a picture on their page saying the ride would be permanently closed after September 14th

You can't be serious, it is going to close and be redone into most likely a Justice League themed ride. We definitelyare not going to be getting Scooby Doo Ghostblasters.
From HWFan at TPR
"Due to its age, Scooby Doo needs a LOT of maintenance. So what does the park do? They decided to build a new dark ride that's even cooler than Scooby was originally. Instead of using the off-the-shelf Sally Dark Rides cars like Holiday World, the park is getting really cool looking cars. This ride is going to be awesome. The Scooby facade is completely coming down and loading station being covered."

Sorry I didn't realize that it was so awful I've just seen people say a dark ride like it and I've never been to St. Louis so I wouldn't know it's condition

I mean, if they really wanted to they could save some of the props and targets for a future ride or send them to SFFT for their Scooby Doo Ghostblasters. The boats I imagine will either be scrapped, or sent to SFOT if they can run on their Looney Tunes dark ride.

I'm not trying to start speculation over the 2016 attraction but 2015 is b&m's 25th anniversary and since they started in great america and test new stuff here (batman, xflight, raging bull) so maybe they'll try some new type of coaster in general or for them. The launch is ruled out due to holidaynworld getting thunderbird so maybe they'll make a Giga for great america (if gurnee approves a height variance) just an if

Unless B&M plans on giving Six Flags a free coaster in thanks for all Six Flags has done for them, I really really don't see how what they want to try matters at all.

Well since we didn't get a B&M in 1995 (5th Anniversary), 2000 (10th Anniversary), 2005 (15th Anniversary), 2010 (20th Anniversary); Why would you think we would get one for the 25th Anniversary?


Also X-Flight was built in Italy first (Raptor at Gardaland)
943 Coasters around the World! Countdown to 1000!

Raptor was the first B&M wing coaster, yes, but it does not have the same layout as X-Flight.

Yes I'm aware. But I don't see how Thunderbird would rule out us getting a launched B&M in the future.

Does anybody know if they're doing teasers this year and if they start on Thursday or next week?

If it's like previous years, they will start this Thursday. There are usually 4 then the 5th week is the actual announcement.
We shall see...

Did anybody else see the teasers for the Texas parks? I'm assuming SFOT is getting a dark ride and SFFT is getting either a 106 foot tall coaster or a flat that maxes out at 106 feet (images seen on their Facebook pages)

It may be a ball coaster, just like Green Lantern: First Flight at Six Flags Magic Mountain because it's almost the same height. It can make sense because a ball coaster is the balloon. It feels like flying when it flips. :lol:

^ If that were the case (and I highly doubt it is), I would feel so very sorry for Fiesta Texas.

Agreed. I bet people will complain about the new attraction in Fiesta Texas after announcements.

I think people are going to end up being pretty excited by SFFT's announcement. Not often something like that happens.

I don't think that is meant as a "teaser"... Just someone using a poor choice of words at a time when people are trying to read into things even if they are benine...
