So the first teaser is going to be released today. Let's hope it's better than Goliaths first teaser.

Maybe the fact that they started later means they won't start off quite as pointlessly (but I wouldn't count on it).

@SFGreat_America: The path to #GreatAmerica2015 has begun! Check out today's video to start the journey http://t.co/IL5d1X8QDO/s/iLoB

So videos will be released Mondays and Thursdays. I find it weird that they put Aunt Martha's in the video. But with the Southwest Amphitheatre as a choice, it seems that we may be getting a dark ride there. It will be interesting to see how the episodes develop leading to the announcement.

It's a really interesting wrinkle to the teases this year, I like it. I wonder if they're going to do a bunch of a smaller things next year, because I can't imagine they'd really give away the location of a new ride in the very first teaser (or maybe they're just going to tell us now about some of the standard minor park changes that we usually find out about at No Coaster Con).

[anewman35]

Something worth noting about Aunt Martha's - hasn't the "test your strength" game next to it been sitting abandoned and unused all season? Don't know that it means anything, but it seems suspicious in retrospect.

I assume most peoe are voting for Southwest Amphitheater, though, who's going to vote for a chicken place?

Since we just got Goliath, I don't expect a new ride. Perhaps a flat if we're lucky.

But from what I saw on the video, I don't think the fact that they talked about the amphitheater means that that is where a new ride will be. I think what will happen is there will just be a new show in that area of the park since there hasn't been one since Spy Girl or whatever it was called a long time ago. I personally hope this isn't the case just because of past examples like Ignite and MagiQuest (they were large disappointments and a waste of money). The space the Amphitheater takes up is not that big, so they would only be able to make a Goliath-sized coaster (one that only lasts about 30 seconds) unfortunately.

As far as Aunt Martha's goes, maybe a new food item/menu, or (and this is a BIG or) they may tear that building down and put a flat ride there if they really wanted to.

Since the video seems road/driving themed, maybe a stunt show?

A Dark Ride where SWAT is would be great! As far as Aunt Marthas goes... maybe they're going to wreck it and put a flat ride in there, beats me.

I hope they leave Aunt Martha's alone. It's one of our better restaurants and would be disappointed to see it go.

Do we all remember the survey flags around SWA and American Eagle last year at this time? Obviously something is happening with that as they were preparing for it last year. The surveying always takes place around a year before something in that place goes in just like with X-Flight and Goliath. Just something to keep in mind

I vote for Auntie Martha's because I say so.

lol, I remember alot of people (Including myself) thought that is where the 2014 attraction was going to go because of those markings. Earlier this year, I believe the path under Demon leading into the SWT has some survey markings on it too.

^ The markings under Demon this year were for asphalt replacements.

oh... lol.

stunt show

[BroServant7]

I'm putting my hat in the Stunt Show ring... but we'll see if I change my mind as more clues surface

[SFGAMNUT9302]

Those survey markings around the SWAT last year really makes me wonder if it will be some sort of a show or if they're just going to demo the entire thing and put something else there. That's a pretty nice plot of land right there,

Choose your own adventure coaster... That is obviously the answer

You leave the station and choose Track A or Track B... Most votes on the train wins and you go about your ride

Never would of thought of that, but now that you bring it up, sounds like it will probably be it. Chose your path 2015! I was asking some staff members about a new ride last night and they all said that it will be either in the location of Southwest Territory or Aunt Martha's, but that didnt help at all.

[Iron Wolf 90-11]

They don't know anything about 2015.They probably just said that cause of the video.

It can also be that both of those locations are where it is not going to be. We are to vote to uncover what we discover in that location. We find nothing.

That's true, but it would be pretty anti-climatic if Thursday's reveal was "Yeah, there's nothing going on there". They want us guessing, but they have nothing to gain by getting people's hopes up and then not telling them anything. Last year, one of the first teasers mentioned roller coasters (something like "Will it be a ride? Maybe a coaster?") and I assumed from that it WAS going to be one, because why else even mention it? Same thing here.

[T.K.]

My guess:
1. Southwest Theater will host a cowboy themed stunt show.
2. Restaurant will be leveled down and new ride will be build in it's place. Maybe a dark ride?

Choose your path, I assume you chose a "ride" or "show".

The restaurant will not come back as food place, because how is that going to make it on the commercial? Come to SFGAm because we are now serving pierogis? So clearly a ride is going in its place

As for the theater. It will cost thousands of $$$ to demolish the theater and put a new ride in its place. So therefor I cast for a stunt show.

New rides can cost millions. IF they wanted to put a new ride there, I don't think demolition costs would be a major sticking factor.
