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...
It seems that any park with potential "major" additions on the way have already started promoting or have already closed down the attractions necessary to begin work for next year.
I think we can hopefully all agree that anything GAm gets will not be anywhere in the league of Goliath for 2015.

I certainly agree there won't be anything big (maybe at best a flat ride), but I still expect some sort of teaser campaign soon, considering they even did one for IgNight. I know that the guy who was previously in charge of that left the park, but I doubt they'd just stop doing it at totally.
I'd be really pleased with a general capital investment into the upkeep of the park. Paint for Eagle, BTR, SUF, shops and general landscaping bonuses. The issue with that is that the park still needs something to bring to market in 2015, even if the main draw will still be Goliath.

This would also be cool, and have insanely good capacity.

I recall they were gauging interest for something like that in the surveys a year or two ago - it would make sense if they're not going back to IMAX films, or outright demo the building.
When I was at Silverwood last year, DV is still running nowhere near properly, still goes down often and according to the staff it can't run when it's cold, really hot, raining, windy, or extremely humid.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the type of ride that Fiesta Texas is getting rid of the same type as Great America did when they got X-Flight? (2011 was my first time at the park and I don't remember a ton about it) And could it maybe be possible that FT gets a wing in it's place? Not saying it's definite but if Six Flags follows patterns it is a possibility for them to get a short wing coaster
I do think that if we are going to get a new ride for 2015, it'll be a Sky Screamer. Of course, I wouldn't object to a Screamin' Swing - as I've said I think they're phenomenal - but most likely, if it's even a ride at all, we'll get a Sky Screamer.

If it is a SkyScreamer (or, a SkyScreamer worth having ), it'll have to be on the agenda for the Planning And Zoning board meeting on August 20th, so we would know probably a few days before that. (They have a meeting tonight too, but no SFGAm stuff is listed). If there's nothing on that meeting, we know for sure that it won't be anything tall.
Personally, I was kind of guessing SkyScreamer - but the lack of any teasers so far has me a bit worried about that. Hopefully we see something tomorrow, otherwise I'm thinking it might just be Eagle backwards or a new parade or something equally uninteresting.
Now that it runs proper and all.
