New Ride(s) for 2015

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

It would be stupid in my opinion if they were to get rid of Aunt Marthas. The park already lacks in indoor sitdown restaurants. It would also be stupid to remove SWA as the park also now lacks in theatre buildings.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

I think Six Flags over Georgia just demolished a pretty big ampitheater to make way for Hurricane Harbor, and Six Flags New England also demolished an ampitheater to make way for what at the time was supposed to be Dark knight, but then ended up later installing the Gotham City Wild mouse coaster from kentucky Kingdom. It seems as if Six Flags is moving away from shows, etc. and focusing heavily on new Capital attractions (Rides & water parks) I wouldn't be surprised at all if they demolished the SWAT, especially seeing as that there hasn't been a stunt show in there for awhile and the park has done fine without it.

EDIT: lol, just thought of something... in that video he's on a carousel... maybe they're going to axe Aunt Martha's and finally get the Ameri-Go-Round out of storage and reinstall it in that location to help revitalize HTS.

I am sorry to say but I highly doubt that is going to happen You would have such a close proximity distance between Ameri-Go-Round and Columbia that it would absolutely make no sense. If I had to choose between the two I will ALWAYS choose Columbia, I mean its just a Tradition and a legend.

Agree I doubt that will happen Aunt Martha is probly getting removed and the food fried chicken moved to JB's since they serve wings up there. If it goes we will still have JB's and Johny Rockets and Angelos as a sitdown restaurant. About that carousel clue since hes sitting on a pig maybe its a sitdown ride themed to animals so it could be a ride or just another animal show in SWAT.

At this point, I kinda doubt that the carousal or the pig were actually clues - they just had to film the video somewhere, so that's where they did it. I'm also thinking that there's more that we're not being told: there are four of these left, and if we already know the location for everything (and they aren't going to come out and tell us what it is until the end), then what else are they going to tease? (Also, I know we've gotten big coasters two of the last 3 years, but even given that it feels a little lame to just be adding a show for 2 out of three years). My guess is some sort of show in the amphitheater and some sort of retheming of Aunt Martha's, but also something else too (maybe a ride of some sort in the RC spot?)

I really don't think we're going to see something at SWAmp and Aunt Martha's. In the video he say's "we're hearing rumors that something might be coming to Southwest Amphitheater OR Aunt Martha's." Or, not and.

I believe he said that each video will contain 2 options. I honestly think it will be neither SWAT/Aunt Martha's because I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give it away right away

Right. But unless they're just playing games with us (which is always possible), it seems kind of dumb to offer an option that doesn't actually have anything going on. It would be kind of annoying if today's video goes "So people voted, and we checked out what was happening for next year at Aunt Martha's! And the answer is - nothing! Now I'm hearing rumors that something may be happening at Goliath or at the bathrooms next to Batman! Vote again for what we look at next week!"

I agree, I really like Aunt Martha's. Its a nice looking building, and one of few nice sit-down restaurants. Also, it may just be the only nice looking part of Hometown Square now that they cemented where the old gazebo used to be.

Does the SWAmp get used anymore? Are concerts still held there? Because if it is still in use, and they get rid of it, I don't know how you could find a different location for concerts. Wilderness theater is the only other place, and its too small.

Every time I go to SFGA I notice that there is no line for Demon. I personaly like demon but theres barely ever anybody on it. If they took out Demon and the South West amphitheater there would be a lot of space opened up for a new coaster in 2016. If you look on google earth you'll see what i mean.

Personally, I always see a line for Demon. Sure maybe its less than the others, but when Raging Bulls line is 45 mins, Demons is still at least 20 mins. I never see Demon being a blatant walk on.

There was a line for Demon yesterday. In fact when I went by on the train about 1:30 the queue right outside of the station was full and line was back on other side of rocks you walk through. Park was busy yesterday! But maybe Demon will come down for something that will span from SWAT all the way to Aunt Martha's going over the midway? Here's hoping....LOL
And yes I know this is far fetched, just having fun!

OK, now I'm pretty convinced they're just trolling us. They'll keep bringing up things that are rumored to be going and then confirm they aren't going, and they won't really tell us anything until the very end.

I think you're right. "So you want to hear more about SWA? lol nope, there's literally nothing happening with it right now."
In any case, I'm ok with what they're doing. Quick, quirky, trivia videos before the actual announcement? Sure I'll take it.

Also I voted for Pictorium. Twice :D
It doesn't seem like that Google Doc has any checks on it :P

Why would removing Demon for 2016 be something they'd be promoting on the "path to 2015"?

Since 2002, four coasters have been removed- three of which I greatly enjoyed, and one that was redundant because (nearly) the same ride was built in a box 4 years later. I'll be very disappointed if plans for 2015 include Demon's removal. I'm not looking at this from the Roller Coaster Tycoon point of view that has become common on Coaster/Park BBS (I personally think that perspective ought to be reserved for those actually employed to manage the park), I'm looking at it from the point of view of someone who has been going to this park since childhood, and at times has loved the place.

I never said it would actually happen, but I'm pretty sure if it did, they'd just leave the spot vacant for 2015. Look at Iron Wolf's spot - Empty for 2 seasons. Plus they mentioned something about SWAT not leaving so this video series might have something to do with a possible ride removal, too. But I'm probably wrong so don't take my word for it

Ok, the first video talked about Aunt Marthas & the amphitheater - The news for 2015, as proven in this video has nothin to do with either of those locations so yes, they are trolling us. lol Which is fine as mentioned, its all about throwin us off.

So now todays "rumor clues" are for Demon & Pictorium. I personally chose/voted to hear more about Pictorium BECAUSE it was seriously only open for like a month this season! Its very unpopular with guests today sadly & the equipment in there is that of a HS projector. They could do so much more with that space whether it be a Hurricane Harbor expansion, a new coaster in the future, or an actual new & working state of the art Imax/4D theater.

I'm not gonna get too far into it over Demon cause I think its a much needed coaster in our lineup butttt I sadly dont see it lasting. Personally I'll be pissed if its taken out unless its for a B&M giga.....oh sorry I'm back, I was dreaming.
